Orquesta de la Region de Murcia- Spanish Suites & Trumpet Concerto
SKU: 8436597700979
The Spanish Suites is inspired by a different palo of flamenco, which the composer transforms in unique ways. Some movements incorporate elements such as bitonality or atonal diatonicism-techniques used to create contrast or convey a particular effect-without becoming the predominant compositional resource. Gines Martinez Vera, is a distinguished educator and an expert in orchestral arrangement, Martinez Vera presents here new compositions that are not only impeccably crafted but also deeply rewarding in performance, rich in analysis, and thoroughly enjoyable to the ear. These are works unafraid to delight-modern in their folkloric inspiration, brimming with rhythmic vitality and orchestral colour, evoking the celebrated Huapango of Moncayo. A student of Copland who, in turn, studied under Nadia Boulanger, Moncayo embodies that powerful Franco-American model, brilliantly adapted to a Hispanic symphonic language-one that merges Albeniz-like lyricism with jazz inflections and flamenco flourishes. It is within this lineage that the music of Martinez Vera finds it's voice. His is a bold artistic vision in a world of high art music still dominated by the experimental. But, fortunately, Gines Martinez Vera writes beautiful music. And beauty is not the privilege of the elite-it is a necessary sustenance for all.
