Work introduction
This composition was created for the concert organized by the Societat Coral Amics de la Unió de Granollers, titled Poemari. The Children's Choir of this organization, along with the Chamber Choir of Granollers, premiered it on Sunday, November 28, 2021.
The piece is dedicated to the young singer Àlex Honrubia Gil, who passed away prematurely at the age of only 21 years old.
Llunyana
No et sento freda encara
que estiguis lluny
en ànima i distància.
(Amb un rem busca'm
a la muntanya.)
No et sento freda encara
que estiguis lluny
de besos i abraçades.
(Amb un branc cerca'm
per la mar blava.)
No et sento freda encara.
Ets raig de sol
en un sepulcre d'aigua,
cera i record
caient en lentes llàgrimes.
(Oh rem florit,
branca mullada,
sang de ponent
dalt la muralla!)
