Program Notes
On February 23, 2002, the Cultural Association “La Tertulia” of Chiva, to which I belong, held a tribute to the well-known painter José Morea. One part of the event was the premiere of four pieces (grouped under the title of Miradas (glances) I composed that were inspired by three of his paintings. The second, Tramonto en-con Palinuro, evoked a melancholy dusk in Italy: you were observing, amongst a mist of warm colors, the town of Palinuro reclining over the sea and forming a large island in doing so. In the bottom right hand corner, the painter himself was smoking and calmly watching the scene. The piece was written for cello and piano.
Five years later, this composition was revisited and, after a profound revision (many aspects of the original have been modified), presented in two different versions: one, like the original, for cello and piano, and the other with accompaniment by wind instruments and percussion.
