Senior music composition major's original sinfonietta brings together years of study, performance and creativity into one final orchestral arrangement
Alejandro Lobo said the title of his work, Deluge, a sinfonietta for chamber orchestra, might be misleading because it has nothing to do with rain or natural disasters.
"I'm thinking of a mental deluge," said Lobo, a senior honors composition major at the University of Delaware. "Most people in life have moments where they become overwhelmed. It's like a turbidity in the mind. I'm trying to depict this sheer moment of uncertainty."
Although his composition depicts a moment of mental uncertainty, Lobo's UD journey has been anything but uncertain.
A senior honors composition major in the School of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences with a performance concentration in classical guitar, Lobo has a minor in music industry studies and a certificate in Spanish language with a concentration in Latin America. Deluge is part of his composition capstone project.
