EL ELEFANTE GRIS

“Behind a simple personification of the tuba with the elephant, the piano completes the metaphoric role according to the environment and context which developes the mammal. The two interpretation closeness and union will be the result of an image of the robust animal walking around the african steppe, facing up to its destiny. 

Inside an atonal composition language style, the intention is just surprise describing with an improvised language the seasonal life of the animal and also the raw and pure reality of the furtive and killer  hunt. The personality of the meeting between the instrument and the mammal is docile and submissive, and becomes only aggressive in just a few extreme situations. To get all mentioned before, the piece begins using a subtle and thin lament of the animal remembering its final destiny.”
