A choral work for male voices or mixed chorus (in this edition), dated 1897, based on a text by Apel·les Mestres i Oñós (1852-1936), whose writings have frequently been a set to music. He was an artist, poet, playwright and horticulturist who was highly respected at the end of the 19th Century.
There are two extant manuscripts of the work, the first of 68 pages and the second contains 72 pages. The work was inspired by the months of the year, a subject which has inspired various composers such as Vivaldi, Haydn and Tchaikovsky. Composed for male chorus, just as was Clar de lluna [Moonlight], this work was probably conceived to provide repertoire for the Clavé chorus of the town where the composer lived. It includes various vocal effects used by the Clavé choruses. The composition is organized into a work for each month, with the exception of December which was not composed, and uses a variable distribution of the voices and appropriate tonalities for the expression of each month. The work is relatively simple to perform and is homophonic throughout. The voices are alternated in order to intensify the expression.
