THE MATERIALS HAVE TO BE HIRED

The Geminis Concertino was written in 2005 and dedicated to Gerard Claret and the National Chamber Orchestra of Andorra (ONCA).

The work, as its name implies, is a small-scale concerto for violin and 15 string instruments. Its score is basically a chamber piece in which the solo part never takes an overly virtuoso role.

Conceived as a single movement, played without interruption, its internal construction consists of three "classic" sections:  A, bars 1-72, B, bars 73-161, and C, from bar 162 to the end of the piece. Part B begins with the two opening measures of Béla Bartók's Violin Concerto simply as a reminder of a composer and a work that has impressed me since I was very young.

I should confess that the entire Geminis Concertino has a certain Bartokian air that I attribute to the love I have always professed for this composer and that lately seems to affect me much as it did in my youth.
