Abstract As a Bolivian artist, the author has always supported the idea of bringing Bolivian music to the world. The writer’s contribution over the years has been to collaborate with composers from Bolivia who have written for the viola. Some of the compositions performed use some of the most notable twentieth century compositional techniques drawing from minimalism, serialism, electronic music and other styles. Despite the diversity of these compositions, each still contains the very essence of the nationalistic sound of Bolivian folk rhythms and melodies, from the very mystical and sad melodies of the Bolivian Andes to the extroverted rhythms of the valleys and amazon regions. This treatise, Representative Works for Solo Viola by Bolivian Composers, will showcase two of the most important works for solo viola, and will also discuss two of Bolivia's most talented composers, Gerardo Yañez, and Jorge Ibáñez, whose beautiful musical languages transcends time and space. The discussion of each composer and the composer's work are divided in two sections: 1) The composer's biography and musical background; and 2) The composer's work for viola, analyses of folk influences, style, and some important aspects such as time, place, premiere of the composition.
