En la sombra de Madrid

Madrid is a city full of art. Artists nowadays can benefit from a history with the most important composers and musicians of their time. Visiting the Royal Palace in the heart of Madrid, is my favorite way to imagine the real life of Scarlatti and Boccherini. As I stand in the hall I imagine them walking by, with their splendid clothes and wigs. The art of Goya and Velazquez helps me get in tune.

My piece wants to reflect the connection between centuries. The modern world can enjoy the seeds planted centuries back. There is a certain atmosphere of the folkloric Spain, the majestic guitar of the court, mixed with new dissonances.

In the middle of everything Joaquin Rodrigo’s ”Cucu” suddenly appears.
