or 2-part treble voices and piano
In this fun, easy song, young singers are encouraged to join voices in an easily singable melody. “Invitación” is also flexible; the second voice part is dispensable. Hand claps add a dynamic element while also teaching rhythm. The positive, happy text reminds children that everyone is welcome to join in the joy and laughter of life. For non-Spanish speakers, “Invitación” also serves as a great opportunity to sing in a new language.
Composer’s Notes
“Invitación” (Invitation) is a composition supported by the Program for the Stimulation of Artistic Creation and Development (PECDA) 2021. Dedicated to the Community Choir of the Veracruz Institute of Culture (IVEC) “Acatl-tlan”, it was written with the aim of providing simple repertoire for this choir, which had recently been founded.
The text is a poetic invitation to share moments of happiness and fulfillment with someone special. From galloping through wet streets to walking hand in hand as if they were a poem. The author Elena Ortíz Muñiz invites to experience the joy and beauty of being together with that special person. Musically, it is recommended to explore emotional expression through gestures and movement. As the piece was written for beginner children’s choirs, the importance of unison is emphasized, and precision in rhythm is recommended. The applause in the piece aims to add a fun and energetic element to the performance.
