![Chido - University of Manitoba Symphony Orchestra
Chido, for Orchestra
-Luis Ramirez (1992)
Performed by the University of Manitoba Symphony Orchestra
Julian Pelicano, conductor
Program notes:
In Mexican slang, the word chido [chee-doh] is used for many descriptions - when something is cool, awesome, beautiful, interesting, attractive, exciting.
This piece is the story of a man who had everything figured out. He was chido in every possible way. He walked around the city with obvious swagger, attracting everybodys attention. He knew everything, so people always looked up to him. His confidence radiated and no person could even imagine being as interesting and amazing as him. He had the kind of appeal that turned every womans head wherever he went. Everything was solved for him, and there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
And then he woke up.
- Luis Ramirez
