In October 2020 Lago’s student at the Conservatorium of Amsterdam Neus MÃnguez told him that she had been invited to perform as a soloist with the Banda Sinfónica Municipal de Alicante (Alacant) in May 2021; an initiative to promote young musicians in the Alacant province (Spain). A nice coincidence because Lago had worked with that orchestra, its conductor José Vicente DÃaz Alcaina and the Fukio Quartet in 2016 resulting in a very fruitful collaboration.
Based on that experience Lago decided to write a new piece for the occasion taking as inspiration a series of fairy tales very typical for the region called ‘Rondalles’. Many of those were gathered and written down by the writer Enric Valor i Vives who played a major role in the development and liberation of the ‘valenciano’, the language very close to catalan spoken in the region. Three of these tales were chosen as inspiration for this musical suite: L’Albarder de Cocentaina, (The saddlemaker from Cocentaina) La Metgessa del Dimoni (The Doctor of the Demons) and El Forçut de Xixona (The Muscleman from Xixona).
The piece is dedicated to Neus, the Banda Sinfónica Municipal de Alicante, conductor José (Pepe) Vicente DÃaz Alcaina and also to Lago’s dear friend (from Cocentaina…) Jaume Gavilán Agullo and his family.
