After a pause, return to the fray with Alberto Ginastera . If in a previous post said that his most famous work is the Suite of dances from Estancia , made with material taken from his ballet Estancia it impossible to find a dance company to represent him, today we have to say no was that the first time that he resorted to Ginastera suite format to present ballet music that was not who the dance. In fact, the first resort to this strategy was the first work of making up its catalog, Panambí Suite, which uses four numbers Panambí ballet, composed over two years during Williams studied at the Conservatory. Ginastera composed the ballet without having hopes for its staging, but the success of the suite, released by the director Juan Jose Castro at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires in 1937, made the same theater was interested in the work that originated and that it saw birth in 1940. As noted earlier, Lincoln Kirstein, director of the Ballet Caravan, was so impressed by the ballet Panambí that Ginastera composition commissioned a ballet for his company and that trust would stay ballet.
Panambí Ballet, Choreography Legend is based on the mythology of the Guarani Indians, inhabitants of the banks of the Parana and Paraguay. In the suite, Ginastera changed the order of numbers, so it is impossible to follow the original story listening. The first of four movements, descriptive, of course, is entitled moon on the Paraná. Then bursting percussion, complemented by the brass, the invocation to the spirits powerful. Follows a lyrical movement to the surface, the maids Lament, in which the strings form a soft mattress. Finally, percussion redo entry into the Indian Fiesta-Dance of the warriors , with its tribal reminescencias pace.
