Product Description

Written for the pupils of the chamber music course at the Conservatoire of Barcelona (Conservatori Municipal de Música de Barcelona). 

The motivation behind the composition of this work lies in the need to offer a repertoire with the demands and challenges present in the repertoire used in exam boards, conservatories as well as GCSE, AS, and A level of Chamber Music but with a modern use of harmony and melody such as the one we can hear on television, in the cinema or video-games. So the harmonic language, the form, the compositional techniques and the use of rhythm, melody and articulation in this work presents a blend a current style present in American film music, television, musicals, Jazz or minimalism (with influences from composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, John Williams, Michael Nyman, or Hans Zimmer) with the type of writing, thematic treatment, piano technique and musical form found in the classical chamber music repertoire. 

The scoring challenges both performers to interact to each other and negotiate the musical material; sometimes by passing the main thematic ideas on to each other, other times by build it together and other times to influence and alter each other. All of it so both sound sources melt into one single musical discourse which evolves and transforms every so often, as if mimicking the multiple decisions and thoughts one can take during a self-reflecting process.

Escrita para los alumnos música de cámara del Conservatorio de Barcelona (Conservatori Municipal de Música de Barcelona).

La motivación detrás de esta composición en la necesidad de ofrecer un repertorio con las exigencias y desafíos presentes en el repertorio utilizado en exámenes y conservatorios, pero con un uso moderno de la armonía y la melodía como el que podemos escuchar en la televisión o en el cine. Así, el lenguaje armónico, la forma, las técnicas compositivas y el uso del ritmo, la melodía y la articulación en esta obra presentan una mezcla de un estilo actual presente en la música de cine Americana, la televisión, los musicales, el jazz o el minimalismo (con influencias de compositores como Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, John Williams, Michael Nyman o Hans Zimmer) pero con el tipo de escritura, tratamiento temático, técnica instrumental y forma musical que se encuentra en el repertorio clásico de música de cámara.

La partitura desafía a ambos intérpretes a interactuar entre sí y negociar el material musical; a veces pasando las ideas temáticas principales el uno al otro, otras veces construyéndolas juntos y otras veces influenciándose y alterándose mutuamente. Todo esto para que ambas fuentes sonoras se fundan en un único discurso musical que evoluciona y se transforma constantemente, como si imitara las múltiples decisiones y pensamientos que uno puede tomar durante un proceso de auto-reflexión.
