Pere Gomila wrote a poem especially for the occasion and the piece was originally orchestrated for wind orchestra, percussion and double choir. Pere Gomila’s superb poem is clearly nationalistic in spirit. It evokes difficult and dark times and it encourages us towards a hopeful future. The music follows the text very closely, combining moments of grandiosity with others which are more energetic, intimate and expansive.
