The only theme composed in the whole album. It uses a scale related to the Western Minor scale (in G) and the ‘Spanish’ or ‘Andalusian’ scale (in D), but it is closer to Arabic maqams (modes) like the nahawand, hiyas and bayati, and to the Turkish farah-fasa.
lyrics
¡Alma árabe de España!
Al Andalus.
¿dónde están tus almas moras?
¿dónde tus jardines y tus fuentes?
¿dónde el ronco son del ‘ud
y el lamento del nai por su cañada?
(silencio en calles y plazas)
(en valles y en desfiladeros)
(silencio en cimas, en cuevas)
(silencio)
(silencio)

“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach
Enough said. pt
