The first piece,  Desde Que El Alba Quiso Ser Alba, Toda Eres Made has a spine-tingling and haunting theme and features a clockwork rhythm that carries the pulse.  Tristes Hombres Si No Mueren De Amores is darker,  more barren and more reserved than the first piece,  which provides a bridging contrast for the more lively but delicate and charming Alrededor De Tu Piel, Ato Y Desato La Mía.  The fourth piece Ríe, Que Todo Ríe: Que Todo Es Madre Leve is bright,  nonchalant and somewhat insouciant but retains it sense of contemplation with its slow tempo.  Me Cogiste El Corazón Y Hoy Precipitas Su Vuelo is as dark and resonant as the second melody.  In the closing piece,  Llego Con Tres Heridas: La Del Amor, La De La Muerte, La De La Vita Brouwer broaches the complicated themes of love and life and death,  dealing with these ambiguous subjects with another hauntingly beautiful melody.
