Sinf 2 - IV - Europa - A - Balcanes by Rafael Serrano - Composer published on 2021-03-01T18:39:01Z Rafael Serrano - Sinfonía No. 2 - MEDITERRÁNEO - IV Mov. - Parte A - “Balcanes”. English From Constantinople, already in the hands of the Turks, we headed to the Balkans, European lands whose history has been a series of settlements, dominations and diverse cultures. The work begins with a clear European-style musical cadence, reinforced by synthesizers and a “Bandoneon” that is of German origin. Then, oriental instruments, such as the Duduk, Ney and Zurna, show us the closeness between them, while the continuous changes and mixes between western and eastern instruments try to represent the great mixture of diverse people that populated the area in the same way as the we meet today. Español Desde Constantinopla ya en poder de los Turcos, nos dirigimos a los Balcanes, tierras Europeas cuya historia ha sido un vaivén de asentamientos, dominaciones y culturas diversas. La obra empieza con una clara cadencia musical de estilo europeo, reforzada por sintetizadores y un “Bandoneón” que es de origen Alemán. Acto seguido, instrumentos orientales, como el Duduk, la flauta Ney y la Zurna nos muestran la cercanía entre ambos, mientras que los continuos cambios y mezclas entre instrumentos occidentales y orientales tratan de representar la gran mezcla de gentes diversas que poblaron la zona de igual manera que como la conocemos hoy.
