Venezuelan composer Aldemaro Romero has over 100 published works deeply rooted in the vernacular traditions of Venezuela, presented through Western musical forms and techniques. This study explores the ways in which Romero utilized conventional classical forms, structures, and compositional techniques from the Baroque period and combined them with native Venezuelan rhythmic and harmonic progressions in the work: ‘Suite para Cuerdas: Fuga con Pajarillo.’ Using fugal techniques, polyphonic textures, counterpoint, extended techniques, and improvisatory style, Romero seamlessly merges the rhythm of the traditional Venezuelan dance ‘Joropo’ with Baroque forms and structures, such as the orchestral suite. An example is how Romero utilizes improvisation, a key element of music from the Baroque period and Venezuelan music. Romero also blends the rhythm of the Pajarillo, a subgenre of Joropo in a minor key, with a complex 5-voice fugue through the use of imitation and repetition. The hybridization process in this piece is unique, as is the way Romero successfully fuses Western forms with Venezuelan popular music.
