Dos breves apuntes (2011)

I: Canción antifonal
II: Fanfarria

From the composer: "Dos breves apuntes" (Two Brief Sketches) was written for the 1762 J. Bosch (Santanyi, Mallorca) organ. These are two very short pieces that explore several of its wonderful sounds. "Canción antifonal" (Antiphonal Song) employs the wide spatial displacement between two solo reeds: Clarins en 15 (2') and the Trompa magna (16'). "Fanfarria" (Fanfare) is a brief romp for the colorful full reed chorus. They are dedicated to the great Spanish organist Montserrat Torrent, whose advocacy of traditional Spanish repertoire and instruments has always been very inspiring.
