In 1930 Ricard Lamote de Grignon was appointed conductor of the Girona Symphony Orchestra and in 1932 he won the competitive examination to become assistant conductor of the Barcelona Municipal Band. His works from this period include Quatre estances de Kayamm [Four Kayamm Rooms] and Dos petits poemes [Two Little Poems], both for soprano and orchestra. Joan de l’Ós, a symphonic poem premiered at the 1933 International Festival of Contemporary Music, marked his consecration as a composer. Triptic, based on three poems by Rabindranath Tagore, was composed in April 1934 and represents a great step forward in the orchestral sonic refinement constantly sought by the composer, a refinement close to Impressionism, expressed with its own voice.
We can also perceive in the work certain oriental touches and a great descriptive capacity, creating an indissoluble union with Tagore’s idealised poetry. The three songs, which are performed seamlessly, tell the story of a maiden and a “young wayfarer”. In the first two poems the young man appears before her, and the maiden, out of shame, does not dare to present herself as the young woman the wayfarer seeks. In the third, the maiden stands at the edge of the window waiting for her “wayfarer”.
