THE MATERIALS HAVE TO BE HIRED
The Symphony in E Major by Manuel Blancafort was awarded the I Premio Ciudad de Barcelona (1950) in the first year of the competition. It lasts about 30 minutes and is divided into four movements: “Allegro”, “Andante con motto”, “Scherzo” and “Allegro vivace (Alla galop)”.
Its premiere took place in September 1951 as part of the Concerts Populares de las Fiestas de la Mercè, performed by the Orquesta Municipal de Barcelona, conducted by Eduard Toldrà. The work was re-released by the Orquesta Nacional de España again conducted by Toldrà at the Palacio de la Música in Madrid in November of the same year.
It would not be until 1986, some thirty-five years later, that the work would be performed again by the Orquesta Ciudad de Barcelona, this time in Hospitalet and in Barcelona, conducted by Edmond Colomer.
Oriol Martorell would leave us a description: “The first theme of the Alegro recalls a popular Catalan theme; the second, of a dynamic character, is fugato-like. The Andante is intimate, melodic, austere and with resonances of religious atmosphere. The third tempo, Scherzo, was erroneously catalogued separately. For the first time it has been included in its rightful place; it is of a moving character. The fourth tempo seems to suggest the circus atmosphere evoked by the composer on other occasions”.
The composer himself would recognize that the Symphony represented a more classically oriented position than other works of his, and that within it he aspired to a sublimation of the characteristic nuances of Catalan musical folklore. The themes, all of his own invention, can easily be recognized as having a Catalan spiritual origin, especially in the first three movements. The fourth movement, on the other hand, has a more ironic character, in the key of a “gallop” that Blancafort wrote with ease, as if he were still in his distant days of the Polka of the tightrope walker.
