Program Notes
La Rosa de Desierto follows El Agua Prodigiosa in the trilogy that the composer dedicated to Johan and Pirluit, two characters from the Middle Ages created and drawn by comic book artist Pierre Culliford, a.k.a. Peyo. The relative obscurity of these two characters is undeserved, as it was this comic book which introduced those little blue and white characters known as the Smurfs.
In this story, Johan and Pirluit get caught up in battles, celebrations, robberies, desert treks, and other episodes, finally rescuing a beautiful princess, the daughter of the Islamic Emir, who had given the Emir’s warrior a metal rose as a gift.
The score makes use of an eclectic idea to describe each situation, mixing different languages and styles ranging from modal passages of all kinds to atonal passages.
This piece should serve to pay tribute to these two likeable characters, forgotten by some and unknown by the majority.
