Program note
“Estampas del mar” is quite of five poems by the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, of which I have composed three into this suite for female choir. I found the poems in a collection of his poems, a book gifted by my mother in 2012. Lorca´s poems have the inexplicable quality I love, they already feel like music and make sense to me, in a way that the translations simply don’t. These songs are dedicated to my father, who always has lived close by the sea.
