          Cecilia Winter,"Música Regional Oaxaqueña de ayer y hoy, Transcripciones para órgano y piano", Carteles Editores, 2018.

        This book of transcriptions of Oaxacan regional music was inspired by the discovery that Oaxaca’s historic pipe organs could sound like a wind band when playing local folk music. This is not entirely surprising since the organ is also a wind instrument, although by far the largest and most versatile, and its numerous pipes can produce sounds similar to those of flutes, trumpets, and trombones.

      In recent years, Oaxaca has become the historic organ capital of Mexico with 11 restored instruments, more than any other state, and the organs are increasingly recognized and appreciated as unique cultural treasures. But it is also the center for wind instrument bands, the premier interpreters of festive and religious music in the local communities since the late 19th century. This book, as well as the concerts and the CD which proceeded it, fuse these two important musical traditions for the first time. We hope that organists, pianists, and other keyboard players will enjoy playing this exciting music.

       The book is in Spanish with an introduction and technical recommendations in English as well. Its 104 pages include 24 scores of songs and dances, mainly from the Guelaguetza, Oaxaca’s annual folk dance festival, background information about each piece, photographs by the publisher Claudio Sánchez of the dances or the corresponding regions, lyrics of the songs, and biographies of the composers. The pieces are harmonized for keyboard and thus may serve as a basis for any instrumental ensemble. The proceeds from the sale of the book will support the work of the IOHIO. For now we are concentrating on local distribution but will soon send instructions for national and international orders.


       "The book and the CD of its music are available in Oaxaca at the following locations: Librería Amate (M. Alcalá 104); Proveedora Escolar (Independencia 1001); Proveedora Gráfica de Oaxaca (Colón 605); and the bookstore of the Cultural Museum of the ex-convent of Santo Domingo."
