Program Notes
This symphonic poem was dedicated to the Musical Union El Xúquer from Sumacàrcer and its conductor, Josep Ros. The work is inspired by the people from Sumacàrcer trying to tell the different characteristic things that identify it: its people, its festivals, the Xúquer River, the Penya-Roja castle, its orange groves and streets. We can find different languages throughout the work to narrate it, all of them are related to each other by a small generator motive about all the musical idea.
The work has been written to take part in the 129th edition of the International Competition of Valencia.
