Meditación 
Composed in 2020 in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, as a tribute to the pain and the victims of the pandemic.

Preludio azul 
To my mother, victim of the voracity of the Spanish Civil War. She must be in heaven and therefore bears the name Preludio Azul.

Evocación 
I remember my post-war youth with my brother and his support in helping me to become a musician. This work reflects in its notes, the sacrifices we made to get ahead in our youth.

Murmullo musical 
It is a musical murmur in major and minor keys simulating a continuous stream of notes.

El viento de la vida 
Prelude dedicated to life, its drive and strength.

Caprichos
This is a spontaneous and playful work. The interplay between melody and chromaticism gives it a special interest.

Guitar and dance | Premiere

  • Canto al difunto Francisco. Performer: Luca Romanelli (Italy). Dancer: Manuel Garrido (Spain)


    Canto al difunto Francisco

    My father disappeared during the Spanish Civil War.

    The play begins with some searching sounds: Where are you? Where are you?
    57 years later I found him in Argentina and went to see him.

    It is a funeral dirge. The melody alone is slow, then it is repeated faster with harmonic intervals in its first note, and finally the melody, enriched by intervals of thirds, shows the joy of finding each other after many years.

    All is joy! We want him to come to Spain, but my father gets ill and dies, he was 89 years old. The piece repeats the initial chords again with some variation and says goodbye with beats on the strings (tambora).

    I composed it on the plane and played it alone, while he was present in person.

Guitar and singing | Premiere

  • Balada a una desconocida. Perfomer: Luca Romanelli. Soprano: Estíbaliz Martyn (Spain)


    Balada a una desconocida
