Program Notes

On a leitmotiv based on Prélude à l'après -midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy, a metaphorical variation of the five representations of the meaning of the goddess Nemesis is described:

- Retributive justice
- Solidarity
- Revenge
- Balance
- Fortuna

Under an awakening of timbre and rhythmic combinations, it varies in canonical processes on intervalic deformations of the main motif, representing the complex abstraction of the meaning of Justice.

The set of instrumental densities represents the Solidarity between the different sections of the ensemble, with a return to the rhythmic-timbral motif as a link to enhance the different motivic variations proposed in Revenge on a structure based on the variation of the piece's own name ( NEMESIS = SEMINES = A-B-C-D-E-B'-A' )

The Balance will be reflected by the intimate placidity of the thematic variation of the leitmotiv in its different appearances, as well as timbral contributions, concluding with a classic game of the thematic variation represented in Balance with the original reason of Justice to develop the Fortuna movement.
