Programme Note

This popular transcription of Turina’s deeply impassioned orchestral score takes it cue from poetic aphorisms that preface each of the three movements. An ideal introduction to the genre of the tone poem as well as to the sounds of the composer’s Iberian roots.

Movements

2. Ensueño
