Interpretation of El horizonte

The instrumental piece “El horizonte,” which translates to “The Horizon” in English, evokes the imagery of an expansive, distant landscape seen at dawn. The soft yet passionate beginning led by the bandoneón can symbolize the gentle rise of the sun over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange. As the orchestra swells, the violins might mimic the sweeping clouds moving across the sky, touching on notes of both hope and longing.



As the piece progresses, the piano can introduce a rhythmic pattern, representing the pulsing heart of the dancers in the city who dream beyond the immediate skyline. The combination of these instruments alongside the robust double bass creates an image of movement and progression, as if urging the listener to step forward, face the unknown of the horizon, and embrace the unfolding journey.



The climax of the piece could radiate with triumphant energy, suggesting a moment of revelation or clarity as the horizon fully reveals itself. The resolution of the music may then delicately settle back into a quieter section, akin to the evening turning the horizon into silhouette, promising new tomorrows.
