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.

Comenta
rios 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.
