The reason. Carlos Pellicer Anderes

V-549-2024

The reason' is an intimate tour of our feelings through music. The lived and the desired, the most beautiful and the unexpected, the remembered and the ones we need to forget. A reason, we just need to ?nd a reason for it all, to make sense of our happiness. We are unconscious in thinking that it cannot happen to us, that they seem almost human experiences, feelings and experiences, even unattainable. The extreme situations we have experienced in recent years have perhaps confused us and impoverished our dreams. We stopped feeling like children, and we stopped feeling like we had won by meeting. A war always asleep, less and less an unexpected pandemic. All this has prevented us at some point from waking up every morning dreaming, living without a clock, waiting for something to happen, even if it had not been the moment. We re?ect too much, we feel little and we lack strength. The music written in 'The reason' wants to lead us to convince ourselves that we can start to believe the opposite and we can even feel it.

The ?rst movement of this diptych for wind orchestra aims to invade our hearts, that place that only we can truly access. The last part of the work aims to be impressive, from start to ?nish. Just a few minutes to experience that 'strength' that sometimes we assume we don't have, but it always resurfaces, sooner rather than later. Trust, why not, in that reason that has made us feel more, think less, and make us stronger. That reason we want to be with us inde?nitely, or wait for it forever. Time is in?nite, it never stops. We can wait to get it. The important thing is to get it.
