Product Description

Macedonio Alcalá (1831-1869) - Dios nunca muere

Il valzer "Dios nunca muere" (Dio non muore mai) fu composto dal Messicano Macedonio Alcalà, all'epoca 38enne, pochi mesi prima di morire, a Oaxaca, capoluogo della sua regione di origine, probabilmente in ringraziamento al flautista José Maqueo, che lo aveva visitato ed aiutato economicamente durante i suoi ultimi giorni di vita. Fu lo stesso Maqueo a dirigerne la versione orchestrale al funerale del compositore con una delle 6 orchestre fondate da Alcalà. In breve tempo è assurto ad esser considerato una sorta di secondo inno ufficiale dello stato di Oaxaca.
Qui se ne presenta la versione per ensemble mariachi.

The waltz "Dios nunca muere" (God never dies) is said to have been composed by Macedonio Alcalà, composer and founder of 6 orchestras from Oaxaca state in Mexico, a few months before his death, at only 38 years of age. He sent the composition to flutist José Maqueo, who had been visiting him and supporting him financially in his last days. Maqueo himself directed one of Alcalà's orchestras at the composer's funeral, and since then the walts is considered a sort of second official hymn of the State of Oaxaca.

This is the version for a mariachi ensemble, transcribed by Guido Menestrina for Mariachi el Magnifico de Florencia.
