Title: Concierto Iberico - III. Fire
Premiere performance of "Concierto Ibérico" [2009], concerto for euphonium, by German-American composer Tim Jansa [b. 1974].
NOTES:
Fire is primal, elemental, passionate, fascinating, and barely controllable. Since the beginning of recorded history, it has been at the center of events that shaped the fate of humankind -- both for good and for evil. But fire also has an unrivalled cleansing power: the old, the outdated, the sins of the past can all be erased through the flames of a purifying fire; and probably no other festival in the world embodies all these aspects of fire like the Fallas of Valencia.
Like the fallers during the DespertĂ which starts every morning of the week-long celebration, several orchestral hits awaken the audience and ring in the festivities of the day with an explosive display of firecracker and fireworks barrages. The sheer overwhelming sensory impact of the celebratory crowd and the masterfully conceived, fanciful large and small ninots [Valencian for 'puppets' or 'dolls'] to an observer walking through the festive plazas and streets become mere glimpses and fleeting impressions, represented by short fanfares and brief reprises of previous thematic material. Outbursts of a rapid motif reminiscent of a frenzied ritualistic pagan dance around a burning fire gradually build to the climactic collapse of the flaming pyres that consume all but a few of the fallas at the end of the festival. Out of the sparks and smoldering embers emerges a peaceful quotation of an Andalusian folk song. The concerto ends in a characteristically "Spanish" fashion by using musical idioms typically associated with music from this region, bringing this work to a rousing conclusion.
