Melodisms

Comments

Dedicated to José Miguel Castellano Castellano, oboist and friend of the composer.
This work was performed at the XXIII meeting of Valencian symphonic composers (COSICOVA), at the Palau de la Música in Valencia in November 2011 by Immaculate Esplugues (Piano) and Michael Morellá (Oboe).
Structured in three movements and modal style, it offers a variety of melodic lines of great emotional depth with its peak in the second movement (Melancholic Bagatela) where the structure of the melodies allow the performer to enter the wonderful world of personal interpretation.
The piano is not a simple accompaniment to the oboe, as it plays a key role in the flow of the composition, both regarding the dialogue between the two and the pace.
Light hearted thematic cells and a very definite rhythmic profile, along with with this variety of lines mentioned above, make a modern and fun work to be enjoyed both by the performer and the listener.
