'Como una Flor' is a contemporary classical composition by Cuban-American composer Yalil Guerra. The piece was composed in 2010 and premiered on May 15, 2011, at the New World Center in Miami Beach, Florida, by the Miami Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Eduardo Marturet. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, titled "Florecer," is a lively and energetic piece that features a prominent melody played by the strings. The movement is characterized by its use of syncopated rhythms and driving percussion, which give it a sense of urgency and momentum. The second movement, titled "Marchitar," is a slower and more contemplative piece that features a haunting melody played by the woodwinds. The movement is characterized by its use of dissonant harmonies and sparse instrumentation, which give it a sense of melancholy and introspection. The third and final movement, titled "Renacer," is a triumphant and celebratory piece that features a soaring melody played by the brass. The movement is characterized by its use of bold harmonies and driving rhythms, which give it a sense of joy and exuberance. Overall, 'Como una Flor' is a dynamic and expressive composition that showcases Guerra's skill as a composer. The piece combines elements of classical music with Latin American rhythms and melodies, creating a unique and vibrant sound that is both accessible and engaging.
