Tres cartas de de México

Composer: BERNAL JIMÉNEZ, Miguel
  • Tres cartas de México (Three letters from Mexico) was written in 1949. The work is a symphonic suite comprising three distinct movements.
  • The work displays impressionistic influences, evoking the music of Ravel and Debussy, and even some Stravinsky.
  • While Jiménez was first and foremost dedicated to writing sacred music, Tres cartas de México represents one of the composer’s less frequent forays into secular music.1
