Warsaw Concerto José Miguel Fayos-Jordán

The present work is intended as a tribute to the great Polish composer W. Lutoslawski. Hence its title; "Warsaw Concerto" (the composer's native city).

Formally, the work is conceived as a Concerto for symphonic band, where each movement pays its own particular homage to a compositional stage of Lutoslawski's creative corpus. Following this idea, throughout the work we find various techniques and processes commonly used by the composer, such as the use of Polish folk melodies, use of dodecaphonism and serialism, chordal constructions by structured superposition of thirds, use of the cluster as an element generating textures, processes of counterbalanced randomness, use of the "Chain form", etc.

Movements:

I. Prelude and Fugue

II. Ricercare "in Chain form

III. Interlude

IV. March, Choral and Postlude

Dedicated, with all my admiration and affection, to Andrés Valero-Castells
