Скачать или смотреть VIRIDIS by Álvaro Collao León

Premiere of Viridis (2022) performed live at Lille Sal in Musikhuset in Aarhus, Denmark the 3rd of March 2022.

Program note:
It is a dialogue which represents a sound variety of the color green. Using this color as a starting point I wanted to create a sense of calm, even creating a soft and simple atmosphere. I composed harmonic and lyrical fields inspired by the female voice, generally from Latin American folk music.
During the course of the work, we will be able to hear subtle sounds, which are intertwined with the voice of the musicians, causing unique timbre resources that complement the use of the extended techniques of the cello and the baritone saxophone.
This piece is dedicated to my friend Kristina Thede Johansen who I admire so much!
