Music and dance form an artistic symbiosis against a beautiful backdrop this summer.
The Barcelona Symphonic Band presents various works based on dance rhythms. Xavier Pagès-Corella (Sant Pere de Ribes, 1971) developed in his works "Variacions Grotesques" dance forms based on a harmonic progression taken from a comic opera that he wrote himself, entitled Bruna de Nit.
Agustí Borgunyó (Sabadell, 1894 - Barcelona, 1967) wrote "L’Aplec" in New York as a tribute to the dance festival in Catalunya by the same name. The English composers Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) and Lennox Berkeley (1913-1989) were inspired by different Catalan dances to write the suite "Mont Juic." "The Ballets of Miquel Asins Arbó" (Barcelona, 1916 - Valencia, 1996) comments on four dance forms – the mazurka, the habanera, the foxtrot and the march – based on four popular Valencian melodies. With "Puigsoliu," Joaquim Serra i Corominas (Peralada, 1907 - Barcelona, 1957) pays tribute to traditional rhythms.
