Saint Ignatius of Loyola is an opera in two acts with an eminently pedagogical libretto aimed at evangelization. The main characters are Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Francis Xavier , and the Devil who unsuccessfully tempts the two saints. As this work was written to be performed in missions, usually by children, it is written for a treble voice range. (Excerpt from the magazine Scherzo) .

Francis Poulenc (1899 – 1963) was a French composer and member of Les Six , a group comprising Milhaud, Auric, Durey, Honegger, Tailleferre (the only woman in the group), and Poulenc himself. He embraced the techniques of the Dada movement (anti-artistic, anti-literary, and anti-poetic movement that questions the existence of art, literature, and poetry). Critic Claude Rostand describes Poulenc as "half heretic, half monk", a label that remained attached to his name for the rest of his career, while Poulenc says: "My work is the juxtaposition of the profane with the sacred." Some critics consider him the first openly gay composer in history. He composed music in all the major genres, including chamber music, oratorio, opera, ballet, and orchestral music.

Gloria is a musical composition by Francis Poulenc, one of his most celebrated works, written between May and December 1959. The work was written for soprano soloist, large orchestra and chorus .

Coleman Hawkins (1904-1969) was an American jazz clarinetist and, above all, tenor saxophonist whose performances always remained within the purest classical style. At a time when the saxophone was an unusual instrument and considered to have a lesser status, Hawkins brought it recognition in the jazz world. At the age of twelve, he was already performing professionally on the tenor saxophone; at 19, he moved to New York , where he accompanied various blues singers and was a member of various orchestras. He spent five years in Europe as a principal guest of jazz ensembles, and upon his return to the USA , he founded his own orchestra, despite which he continued to perform with the most renowned musicians of the genre.

Itoiz was a Basque rock band created in 1976 and disbanded in 1988. Itoiz composed and sang their songs in Basque. The origin of Itoiz lies in the group Indar Trabes , formed in 1974 by five young people from the surrounding areas of Mutriku and Ondarroa who were fans of progressive rock . In order to finance the purchase of instruments, they began livening up weddings and festivals, which earned them a certain notoriety in their environment. When in 1978 they had the opportunity to release their first album, they decided they needed another name to differentiate it from their commercial activity, so they adopted the name Itoiz . Two stages can be distinguished in their history; in the first, sounds close to progressive rock, jazz and experimental music predominate. In the second, after the entry of guitarist Jean-Marie Ecay into the group in 1983, their style drifted towards pop rock . Itoiz 's leader and founder was Juan Carlos Pérez , who wrote songs such as "Lau teilatu ." The group disbanded in 1988, after recording a live album at the Fadura sports center in the Biscayan town of Getxo.

Ezekiel is the second album by the Basque group Itoiz , released in 1980. The group Itoiz had ceased to exist with the release of their first album. Its leader, Juan Carlos Pérez , began working on songs for another album that he planned to release under his own name. However, his record company convinced him to go back to using the name Itoiz , which had become quite well-known in the Basque Country as a result of the success of their previous album. In Pérez 's words, the album is "the story of young Ezekiel , who encounters the problems of generational change; he tries to fight against the world that oppresses him, uses violence and encounters decadence. For this reason, the music is also decadent." Musically, it has a much jazzier style than the previous one. The electric guitars have almost disappeared, being replaced by acoustic ones, and it also features several songs sung by female or children's voices instead of Juan Carlos Pérez .

Léo Delibes (1836 -1891) was a French Romantic composer. His mother was a musician and his grandfather an opera singer. His nephew Frédéric was the paternal grandfather of the Spanish writer Miguel Delibes . He began his musical studies at the Paris Conservatoire in 1847, where he was a student of Adolphe Adam . As a composer, he achieved real fame in 1870 with the success of his ballet Coppélia ; among his other ballets, Sylvia , written jointly with Léon Minkus , is also worth mentioning; the Pizzicato from this ballet is very popular, one of Delibes ' greatest hits. He also composed several operas and operettas, a mass, a cantata, and occasional music for the theatre, such as dances and ancient airs.

Sylvia , originally Sylvia ou La Nymphe de Diane (“Sylvia or the Nymph of Diana”) is a ballet in three acts, choreographed by Louis Mérante and with music by Léo Delibes , premiered on 14 June 1876 in Paris . Sylvia is a remarkable classical ballet, with peculiarities that make it unique due to its mythological setting of Arcadia , its creative choreography, its extensive scenery, its great influence on the arts and, above all, its remarkable score. When Sylvia premiered on 14 June 1876 at the Palais Garnier , it was widely ignored; it was with its revival in 1952, with new choreography by Sir Frederick Ashton , that it became popular.

Pas de deux (in English, Step a deux ) . In ballet, a pas de deux, also known as a grand pas de deux , is a move performed jointly by two people. It usually consists of an entrée (entrance of the couple), adagio, two variations (one for each dancer, usually an allegro), and a coda . Heir to the ballet entrée , the pas de deux appeared in the mid- 18th century in action ballet and was fully developed in the 19th century in Romantic ballet. It symbolizes the love of a couple and illustrates the most poetic moments of ballet. Contemporary choreographers prefer to speak of a "duet" rather than a pas de deux .

Today, choreographed by George Balanchine , we offer the Pas de deux from the Ballet Sylvia with Martine van Hamel and Patrick Bissel .

The Amalia Hernández Ballet , based at the Palacio de las Bellas Artes in Mexico City and also known as the Ballet Folklórico de México , was founded in 1952 by dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernández . It has created more than 60 of its own choreographies and has performed throughout Mexico. It also has toured more than 100 times internationally, visiting a total of 60 countries. Over the past few years, it has been a benchmark for traditional Mexican music and dance.

Today we offer the second part of the choreographic painting " The Revolution " performed by the Ballet Folklórico de México of Amalia Hernández accompanied by the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the State of Veracruz (Antonio Tornero, director) within the 60th Anniversary Gala at the National Auditorium in Mexico City , January 13, 2013.
