"Por siempre Sabines" is a musical composition by Mexican composer Julio César Oliva, dedicated to the renowned Mexican poet Jaime Sabines. The piece was composed in 1999 and premiered on November 25th of the same year at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. The composition consists of three movements, each one representing a different aspect of Sabines' poetry. The first movement, titled "El amor es un perro del infierno" (Love is a dog from hell), is a tribute to Sabines' love poems. The music is passionate and intense, with a strong emphasis on the strings and the piano. The second movement, "Los amorosos" (The lovers), is a more introspective and melancholic piece, inspired by Sabines' reflections on love and relationships. The music is slower and more contemplative, with a prominent use of the woodwinds and the harp. The third and final movement, "Adiós a los amigos" (Goodbye to friends), is a tribute to Sabines' elegies and farewell poems. The music is somber and mournful, with a prominent use of the brass and the percussion. Overall, "Por siempre Sabines" is a highly emotional and expressive composition, reflecting the depth and complexity of Sabines' poetry. Oliva's use of different musical textures and timbres creates a rich and varied sonic landscape, evoking the different moods and themes of Sabines' work. The piece has become a beloved tribute to one of Mexico's most celebrated poets, and a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire and move us.
