Commentary
This work is inspired by melodies and rhythms of different types of music from the oral tradition. The underlying germ of the elements of folklore is common in its three different movements and creates the cohesion between them and the unity of the work.
In the first movement, heights from different melodies of folklore and popular music are used as moving timbres.
In the second movement the melodies of popular origin that in the first movement were heard as isolated pitches, appear as melodic curves.
In the third movement, the main parameter is movement, organized around different rhythms from Basque folklore.
