La Llorona - The Weeping Woman
Composed by Brandon Pozzo and Lozell Henderson
​
Based on the Mexican folklore figure, La Llorona (The Weeping Woman) is a dark tale that has been passed down through many generations.​
​
"[La Llorona] is said to wail for her own lost or dead children; in many of these stories, she killed her own children when she was alive and is doomed for her actions to be a wandering ghost. In other stories, she appears mainly to women who have children, while in still others, she kidnaps children, who are never seen again" (Winick, blogs.loc.gov).
​
The show follows her story from the beginning, when she was a beautiful woman in love. But, after being betrayed by her lover, La Llorona takes her revenge becoming the ghostly figure that has haunted this Earth for generations.
​
The second movement features a saxophone quartet moment perfect for a group that wants to show off their talented saxophone players.
