Gutiérrez was a very active composer throughout his life and even ran a free music school so that he could teach and share music with anyone who wished to learn. An instrument where the note written differs from the note sounding is called a transposing instrument. When a baritone saxophone plays a C, an Eb note sounds. When a French horn plays a C, an F is produced. When a clarinet plays a C, a Bb comes out. Gutiérrez became a musician in the army, then earned the post of choirmaster of the San Juan Cathedral, where he stayed for 40 years. Some Transposing Instruments: When a trumpet plays their written C, a Bb note comes out. Our first duet project features La Despedida or The Farewell by Felipe Gutiérrez y Espinosa (1825-1899), the most important Puerto Rican composer of operas and religious music in the 1800s.
