LA ROSA PROFUNDA

LA ROSA PROFUNDA (Homenaje a J.L.B.)
for 2 bass clarinets and string trio
I only recently discovered the stories and poems of Jorge Luis Borges and was immediately captivated by the timeless fantastic atmosphere between reality and fiction. It is not for nothing that Borges is described as a co-founder of magical realism.
The commission for a miniature from the Distat Terra festival seemed ideal for me to write a homage to Jorge Luis Borges, as he also used short forms for his works throughout his life. So this miniature is an attempt to translate magical realism - a movement that is mainly represented in painting and literature - into sound.
