- It is inspired by a painting by Pablo Palazuelo entitled "Second Cantoral III" of 1978, hence it is dedicated to his memory in the centenary of his birth. The idea of cantoral refers to the musical and this painting leads us to the scores where they appear written notes that signify a gesture, a tone, a colour ..., an energy turned into sound but that is visible here.
As Palazuelo, the real object of the work is energy, not the representation of something pertaining to reality that we can recognize. An energy that is expressed by vibrations, resonances, lines of force ... In this piece the Ensemble interacts as a single instrument in continuous movement. The colour work makes that this energy is transformed in the passage of the piece. For Palazuelo, matter is energy and his goal as a painter and sculptor was to achieve a plastic transformation of the internal rhythms of matter, considering geometry as a measure of matter. As Palazuelo, the idea of rhythm is fundamental in this piece, from there derives the consideration of the work as a process, allowing the ability to order and transform. Thus, these types of works are and are manifested in the development and organic growth of their formal structures.
