The four Cançons sobre poemes de García Lorca (Songs on poems of García Lorca) by Miquel Ortega are written in a style that we might call post-falla, with evident Spanish roots, essentially Andalusian, given the nature of the poems.

The Prelude and Fugue in C by Benet Casablancas is the first in a long series of piano compositions by this composer. Despite being a rather green, beginner’s score, it provides an interesting introduction to his body of works for piano.

Author: Civilotti, Alejandro
These pieces are dedicated to the memory of the composer’s nephew, Sergio Javier Godoy who died in April 2005, and were written two months later. The meaning of these four pieces for guitar and clarinet is to establish a dialogue with those questions will never be answers.
