Program Notes

Commissioned by the Horikoshi High School Wind Orchestra, this piece reflects and expresses the Sagrada Familia as a symbol of Jesus' life. His birth, devotion, passion and Glory are the central themes that are to be found as well in the history of this Roman Catholic Church, constructed in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

This master work of architect Antoni Gaudí also embeds the same passion in the birth of the building, as well as in its meaning.

- Program Note from publisher


The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family) is a large unfinished Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Gaudí's work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica, as distinct from a cathedral, which must be the seat of a bishop.

Plans call for tubular bells to be placed within the spires, driven by the force of the wind, and driving sound down into the interior of the church. Gaudí performed acoustic studies to achieve the appropriate acoustic results inside the temple. However, only one bell is currently in place.
