Timeline

2014

He is primarily interested in the "...emotional impact [of his music] and direct communication with the listener". His music has been described as "...a burning torch for the next century" by Mark Greenfest, of the New Music Connoisseur, and noted for its neo-romantic qualities, as well as its tonal, polytonal and atonal instances. Well known for his contrapuntal technique and use of classical and romantic forms, his doctoral dissertation piece "Hermes" exemplifies the post-modern attributes of his music, amalgamating formal structures of prelude and fugue, theme and variations, and sonata form, while thematically all the material is derived from a 5-note chord, first presented as Ab-C-D#-E-G. Another significant aspect of Vázquez's music is its reflection of his Galician identity. A notable example is "Widows of the Living and of the Dead" (2014), a concerto for gaita (Galician bagpipe) and orchestra. Commissioned by Cristina Pato with support from New Music USA, the piece is "an ode to Galicia’s history of women upholding Galician society" following the massive emigration suffered during most of the 19th and 20th centuries, and "dedicated to all women throughout history".
