3 Mouvements continus

Commissioned for the 7th edition of “DROME DE GUJITARE”, this piece was created at the theater of the city of Valencia, on October 27, 2023, under my direction by the D.D.G guitar orchestra. It pays tribute to the memory of my friend Roland Dyens. The 1st movement, quite brief (1 minute), emphasizes a motif which metamorphoses into a harmonious accompaniment of the themes of the 2nd movement (5 minutes) “LIGHT”, this in calm and serenity. This 2nd movement fades at the end to reveal a motif which accelerates to give a burlesque and clumsy dance: “DANCE ELEPHANTASQUE” (3 minutes) with an obsessive theme which concludes this work.
