Program Notes

The symphony consists of two parts of three movements each. The two parts separate the two most important mountain ranges: Part 1, Serra de Tramuntana and Part 2, Serra de Arta. Each movement represents a mountain or (in the case of the 5th movement) a mountain region.

Massanella is the second tallest mountain on the island of Mallorca in the middle of the Serra de Tramuntana range, and is a beautiful shape with twin peaks. Both summits are walkable.
