The Island of Light - José Alberto Pina

The symphonic poem 'The Island of the Light' illustrates legends and places of the island of Minorca. In ' Cova d'enXoroi ' the listener can hear the legend of a Moor nicknamed Xoroi, who after a pirate attack, was left behind without being able to embark and remained hidden for a long time in secret without anybody knowing. Each night Xoroi stole what he needed to survive and during the day he stayed hiding in the cave. 'On the clouds ', the composer lets go, showing us his vision of the island from the sky, a movement that is full of strong emotional content. The work finishes with 'The Giants'.

As a horn player who played it, I totally approve this ending (but maybe not that much my mates behind).

[@JoseAlbertoPina]

hahaha Thanks! ;)

[@josephfremedcomposer]

Those horn rips at the end... AMAZING!!!! I play bass trombone so If I were behind those horns, guess i'll die. Gives me the chills every time!

[@JoseAlbertoPina]

Great you like it! I die every time I conduct it, I really like the power of the wind band in this part. I also recommend you this live performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6oZGiEa52Hm7c

Wow José Alberto! I didn’t even know who you were till I heard Pompeii and had to find more by you!!! You have become my inspiration! I LOVE how you add augmented chords like at 9:55 and the oboe is one of my favorite instruments so those solos really stand out to me emotionally! I hope to write like you someday!!! I LOVE YOUR STYLE!!! ❤️

[@JoseAlbertoPina]

Thank you very much Isaac! Beautiful words... If I'm inspired you I'm happy :) I send you all my best wishes!

[@ravenheart0577]

Tras haber usado los movimientos por separado en diferentes conciertos, ayer la tocamos integra, y la verdad, no hay palabras para describir lo que transmite tanto a quien lo esta tocando como al publico. Enhorabuena, Jose Alberto!!!

[@JoseAlbertoPina]

[@Lorenzo_der_Ritter]

Why is there a harp in the recording but not in the full score?

[@MolenaarEditionMusic]

It is an optional part..

[@Lorenzo_der_Ritter]

@@MolenaarEditionMusic ah okay I didn't expect the optional parts to be left out in the full score but apparently that's the case here

[@高銘鴻-q3n]
