Composed at various times of the composer's life, Lirica Catalana op. 14 [Catalan Lyric] is an anthology of Catalan texts from various authors and reviews of popular songs. This is the same process Comellas followed in Lirica Castellana and Lirica Inglesa. The songs of these groups do not have a musical connection, but more a linguistic connection. The melodic flow in the different groups, shows how the text and the language used, produced a concrete response Comellas' harmonic vocabulary.The highlight of this group is the Cant de la Sibil·la [Song of the Sybil·la], a liturgical drama and Gregorian chant, whose lyrics recounts a prophecy of the Apocalypse and was originally interpreted in Latin. From the thirteenth century there are versions in Catalan. These earlier versions Judici Signum weren't direct translations from Latin, but came from previous adaptations Old Provencal and Old Catalan, which gives us the idea of the enormous popularity of this song must have had in the past. The text by Comellas used is one of the most popular in Catalonia.

The song cycle Cancons dels mesos [Songs of the months] was written in 1919 to a set of poems by Apel·les Mestres (1854-1936). There is one song for each month and the poems seem to look at the months and seasons as seen from the Catalan Mediterranean where the wine harvest and the fields near the sea are so typical. Mestres was a writer, drawer and musician; as a writer he cultivated poetry, theatre and prose, which he often mixed in his work. Most of his lyric and dramatic work is set music by composers like Enric Granados, Amadeu Vives, Enric Morera. His use of the Catalan language was important in the renaissance of the Catalan culture so in style at the time.The songs of this cycle, are influenced by the Mediterranean sea, the coast of Cataluna and the general vocal tendencies in Europe around the turn of the century, mostly from the German school of Wagner and Strauss. In general there is little folk influence in the songs, but in two occasions there is a reference to the Catalan songs, Desembre congelat, and a direct use in one of the songs of the rhythm of the Sardana a typical Catalan dance.

Eduardo Toldra (1895-1962) was a Catalan virtuoso violinist, conductor, and composer, whose students included Ros-Marba and Montsalvatge. His compositional work consists largely of songs, folk dances, operas, and orchestral pieces; rather traditional in style, it was initially dismissed as old-fashioned compared to many of his contemporaries. Today however, a revival in interest in Catalan folk music and its influences mean he is growing in popularity.
Coleccion De Canciones: Volume 1 gathers together some of his best-loved songs for Voice and Piano, showcasing his simple, warm, lyrical style. From the early Abril (1920) toAquarel-la Del Montseny (1960), this collection spans most of his career, and forms a valuable addition to any vocalist's repertoire.

Comentarios del Espanol:La Fundacio Musica Contemporania y la Editorial Boileau, en su compromiso de ayudar a la creacion musical catalana actual, han editado seis obras de compositores catalanes para voz y piano inspiradas en poemas de J. V. Foix. Cada compositor ha escogido el poema adecuado a sus intereses expresivos y el resultado ha sido esta serie de partituras, con estilos y afinidades esteticas bien diferenciadas, que nos permitiran realizar una prospeccion en la produccion catalana actual. Todas las obras tienen como nexo comun la poesia de un poeta extraordinario, J. V. Foix, cuyos textos han inspirado a cada uno de los compositores y han provocado una creacion musical personal, que liberara las palabras de su sentido mas inmediato y nos situaran en otro plano posiblemente mas cercano al contenido real del poema. La musica sera capaz de trascender al significado de las palabras, evocando el espiritu y el misterio de unos textos que a su vez han estimulado la creacion musical de seis compositores muy distantes en sus planteamientos compositivos pero comprometidos con la misma idea expresiva. Xavier Montsalvatge, Se un poble lluny, de Provenca. F.2004 Pere Casas, El dificil encontre. F.2001 Joan Guinjoan, On son, oh mar, els deus i llurs imatges...? F.2002 Joaquim Homs, Sol i de dol. F.2003 Albert Sarda, Della els segles, immobils. F.2005 Josep Soler, Feu senyor Deu. F.2006.
