LOVE iS ltke alwaysestar contigo. being with you.- Nimia VicéBeginning with a rhythmic ~heartbeatT, La Essencia de la Existencia (The Essence ofExistence), expands into a frenzy of rhythmic activity, Capturing the stirring of the heartduring the awareness of romantic awakening. The longing of desire (Deseo), the intenseheat of passion (Pasién), and the simple beauty of true love (Amor) come to life throughthree Spanish poems, with the assistance of modern compositional techniques withinthe traditional Spanish idiom. Believing that the essence of existence is none other thanto love, the return of the heartbeat figure, fading into the distance, reminds one of thestrong ties between the heart and the human soul. La Essencia de la Existencia was composedspecifically for che East Carolina University Women's Chorale.
