Héctor Campos-Parsi

Héctor Campos-Parsi

Héctor Campos-Parsi (b. Ponce, Puerto Rico, October 1, 1922; d. Cayey, Puerto Rico, January 30, 1998) was a Puerto Rican composer. He studied at the New England Conservatory with Francis Judd Cooke. He was born at the Asilo de Damas hospital in Ponce.

Family

His father was José Miguel Campos and his mother was Elisa Campos. He only had one sibling, Mercedes Campos Parsi.

Music

The oldest written composition by Campos-Parsi that is preserved is a waltz in popular Latin American style. The title page was written by hand with very artistic calligraphy. It is dated June 13, 1941 and bears the title "Elisa." It is dedicated "to my beloved mother," and the cover has an interesting photograph of the composer and his mother in front of their house in Santurce. The style of this waltz is very similar to the popular Latin waltzes of the time. Divided into short sections that are repeated, its melodic lines have a songlike quality. This work demonstrates that Campos-Parsi's notational technique at this time was rather poor. However, despite problems with the use and cancellation of accidentals, and the rather stiff pianistic writing, the music contains some interesting harmonic ideas and compelling melodies.

Campos-Parsi's major works include "Divertimento del Sur" for string orchestra with flute and clarinet solos, and the piano work Sonata in G, dedicated to pianist Jesus Maria Sanroma.

Journalism

Campos-Paris wrote articles for several newspapers: "El Mundo", "El País", "El Imparcial", "La Torre", and "El Día" in the years following 1940. He also contributed short stories, articles and poems to two weekly magazines: "Puerto Rico Ilustrado" and "Alma Latina". The articles included recital and movie reviews, social announcements, and publicity for the various student organizations.
