El poema de la jungla by Fernando J. Obradors is an orchestral work inspired by the classic book by Rudyard Kipling The Jungle Book. It was composed in 1938 and that same year was awarded the National Prize of Catalunya. It was probably orginally conceived as a ballet, however there is no record on any performance of the work as a ballet and consequentely it is known as a symphonic suite in three movements(«Lento misterioso-Tempo di marcia», «Andante» and «Maestoso-Allegro»). The second movement is a idylic nocturne. The complete work has a duration of some 30 minutes.
This symphonic poem is an important work of Catalan orchestral music and in the catalogue of imaginative works by Obradors. It was influenced by Impressionism, perhaps due to the compossers studies in Paris, and it has simple outlines, well-defined melodies and transparent textures. The final movement is the most notable movement and longest of the three. It begins with a mysterious poetical atmosphere which gains energy as it develops. This movement intersperces tranquil and spacious eposides with others that are more agitated, epic passages that contrast with more lyric ones.
I. Lento misterioso (9:29) II. Nocturno (7:44) III. Maestoso (13:46)
