Re-flect. Carlos Pellicer Anderes

V-1008-2024

Re-?ect is a proposal for four percussionists in which the acoustic and spatial factor is very important. The title of the work is the key to understanding these aspects and also how most of the musical discourse is fed. Re-?ect means re?ection, and in this sense the work is built from an axis of symmetry on which the ?rst two percussionists re?ect on the third and fourth respectively in terms of rhythms and sounds. Also, taking the title as a reference, the importance of the only tuned sound in the entire work is very evident: the RE note. From this sound, and only with this sound of a certain height, a sound game with different heights is created that is intended to envelop the stage. Last but not least, the two letters RE, have an important personal meaning for the author: the work is dedicated to Esaú Borredá (Madrid Symphony Orchestra soloist) and Raúl Benavent (RTVE Orchestra soloist), friends of the author. The game with the two initials of their names (RE) is evident. Subtlety, precision and strength are the three qualities of these great musicians that they try to re?ect in the work.
