English comments:
Death and the Maiden.This is a Catalan folk song that captivated me the very first time I heard it. In 1974 I decided to indulge myself by using this song for a composition for violin and string orchestra (and solo violin with a quartet). The popular theme takes the form of a long violin solo based on triplets with a background of soft harmonies played by the rest of the musicians. --Jordi Cervello
Comentarios del Espanol:
La muerte y la doncella. Se trata de una melodia popular catalana que desde su primer momento me cautivo. Fue en 1974 cuando me decidi a recrearme con ella a traves de una composicion para violin y orquesta de cuerda (tambien violin solista con cuarteto). El tema popular encuadra un largo solo del solista a base de tresillos inspirados en el Coral-Preludio de una cantata de J. S. Bach. --Jordi Cervello.
