Program Notes
La Font de les Ginebroses was commissioned by conductor Xavier Puig for the Municipal Band of Barcelona, Catalonia. Inspired by a love poem of Enric Casasses, the work unfolds rhapsodically and features a clearly identifiable theme that permeates the entire composition.
About his work, the composer writes:
La Font takes shape introvertedly, even when it has a bright middle section, ending ethereally with a prolonged and sweet recorder solo. It is essentially a melodic piece supported by sonorous harmonies that seem expansive and open to me. I am heir to Catalan music of the twentieth century: although my work has contemporary features, it preserves that character of the Mediterranean that defines us.
