Two studies in contrast present the best in 20th century Mexican music.

We Say...
Although they were contemporaries, the 20th century giants of Mexican music — Carlos Chavez and Silvestre Revuletas — were temperamentally polar opposites. Chavez wrote taut, stoic pieces whose neoclassical spirit recalled Stravinsky more than it did the world of peasants and sombreros. The “Sinfonia de Antigona” is a key example, a moody score based on the incidental music that he wrote in 1932 for Jean Cocteau's version of Sophocles's tragedy. Revueltas, by contrast, injected his music with heaps of local Mexican color, writing symphonic poems inspired by the country’s landscapes. They include the vibrant “Musica para Charlar” ("Music for Chattering") and the raucous, neo-primitive “Ventanas.” Alas, while Chavez had a long and fruitful life as a composer, conductor and academic, Revueltas was hard living and self-destructive, dying at age 40 of exhaustion and alcoholism.
