Cinc cançons per a la Sandra (Five songs for Sandra)

Five songs for Sandra is a lieder cycle, in Catalan and Spanish dedicated to my wife Sandra. In these songs I have tried to reflect some of the experiences and joys that she has given me.

The first song, Coneixença (Meeting), deals with the summer months when we exchanged messages through the computer. In the second, Confidències (Confidences), on a playful accompaniment there is a brief summary of the difficulties and defects of the two of us. The third, Pau (Paul), is a tribute to my first child, as well as the fifth, which is titled Mar i Júlia (Mar and Julia), and is a tribute to my two twins. In the fourth, Entre las sábanas (Between the sheets), I make a brief summary of what weekends usually are at home.
