Hey MozartThree young composers join Intermezzo host Leora Zeitlin to discuss how they composed and performed their original pieces in the "Hey, Mozart!" competition in New Mexico last year.

"Hey, Mozart!" is a program that encourages children under age 12 to compose music, and the winners had their music orchestrated, performed and recorded by members of the New
Mexico Symphony. The program was started by Alejandro Rutty, of Hartwick College in New York, and he is artistic director and producer of the New Mexico program. Leora talks with Jamie Des Enfants, Cambria Huff and Christopher Trujillo, and listens to their works. All three works are performed by the "Hey, Mozart!" Orchestra (members of the NM Symphony), with Javier Lorenzo conducting, and come from the "Hey, Mozart!" New Mexico cd, produced by the Crisol Bufons Co. and Hartwick College Child Composer Project:

  1. "Hippopotomus," by Christopher Trujillo, arranged for orchestra by
    Michaela Cohoon;
  2. "Dog Jog," by Jamie Des Enfants, arranged by Michael Lichtenberger
  3. "Mear Byd Weid Newd," by Cambria Huff, arranged by Alejandro Rutty.
