about

In this musical meditation I’ve used little fragments of the melody done with trumpets in the former piece, a melody that represents God and Jesus. These fragments are intermingled with another long dialogant melody embodied with the sound of a flute, which represents the angel giving Mary the news and asking her for permission to conceive Jesus in her. I’ve used the flute because its soft sound/timbre evokes the tenderness of the angel when communicating. The intermingling of the melody of the angel and that of God/Jesus evokes that the message of the angel is divine.

At the end of the piece, after the melody/message of the angel and the affirmation of Mary, a human voice makes an incursion in the piece, repeating the melody but with a human voice. This singing with the human voice evokes the moment of the Incarnation. In this very moment the choral work of this musical project starts, making an analogy between the human choral voice and the human condition of Jesus (communed with the divine) during the historical period of time he stayed in this world.
