"TIENTO DE SOMBRAS" | ORGAN RECITAL at the REALEJO DEL MAN | Sánchez-Verdú premiere

Realejo organ built by Pedro de Echevarría in 1728.   Works by A. de Cabezón, P. Bruna, G. Gabrieli, J. Lidón, B. Storace, among others.  

WORLD PREMIERE of the piece Arqueologías del umbral (for the realejo organ of the Museo Arqueológico Nacional) by the composer and conductor José Mª Sánchez-Verdú:

"Music will act as a link between past, present and future in this premiere of a contemporary work composed especially for the 18th-century realejo organ preserved in our Museum.

The piece, commissioned by the MAN, is a journey through several prototypical territories of keyboard music, from the Spanish Renaissance to the Baroque. Its foundation is always the organ as an instrument, together with its musical, historical and cultural memory. (...)

The work is dedicated to Presentación Ríos for her long work with the organ and with the MAN's projects, to Silvia Márquez, once again the protagonist of a work of mine for organ, and to the MAN for the commission and for its trust in my work."
