Programme notes
The idea proposed was an attempt to connect/unite (merge) the classical-erudite world with the jazz world using the proposed instruments. Thus, I tried to study the characteristics of jazz (since it was the area I had studied less) and then relate them to classical-erudite techniques. An example of this is the supposed walking bass (usually associated with jazz) that appears in the course of the piece while progressively transforming.
Written in 2015 as part of my Undergraduate Degree in Music — Composition at the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa (PT).
