MOLENAAR

¿Qué ocurriría si ésta partida se llegara a humanizar dentro de nuestra imaginación a través de la música?

Grandes castillos, caballerías, peones como soldados de guerra distribuidos en dos reinados que luchan para obtener su independencia.

Al comienzo, las diversas tropas enfrentadas forman en una gran explanada para defender sus fortalezas y castillos (introducción). Las llamadas de los metales dan comienzo a la batalla...

Mientras, en el castillo reina la calma que presagia el gran desenlace. Los reyes, ajenos a la guerra, bailan en la sala de los espejos pero son interrumpidos ante el aviso de un nuevo ataque.

El valor y el sacrificio están reflejados en la figura de la reina, que es capaz de sacrificarse para salvar a su pueblo. Lucha con todas sus fuerzas pero cae en el campo de batalla.

El rey, en venganza, reúne a todos sus hombres y sale a luchar en la cruel y sangrienta batalla final.

La apoteosis final representa los cantos de alabanza a los caídos en la batalla.
 

A game of chess took place in London between two great masters, Anderssen (English) and Kiesevitzki (Russian).

That game was regarded as one of the most beautiful ever played in histoy. That was the reason why it was christened with the name of "The Inmortal One". In that game, Anderssen sacrificed important pieces, such as the Queen, to achiere the spectacular checkmate.

Compulsory piece for the:

"Band Contest of the Autonomous Region of Castellón" Spain, year 2000.

I Band National Contest "Ciudad de Buñol" Valencia - Spain, year 2000.

What would happen if that game got humanized in our imagination through the work of music?

Grat castles, cavalry, pawns as warriors divided into two Kingdoms that fight to get independent.

At the start, the fighting troops fall in at a great open area to defend their fortresses and castles (introduction). The brasswind and drums calls wark the start of the battle…

Meanwhile, a great calm reigns in the castle foreboding the mighty outcome. The king and queen, unaware of the war, are dancing in the mirrors room but they are interrupted after the warning given about a new attack.

Courage and sacrifice are reflected in the image of the queen, who finally sacrifices her life to save her people. She fights with all her strength but falls dead at the battle field.

The king, in revenge, gathers all his men and comes out to fight the cruel, bloody, final battle.

The final apotheosis represents the songs of praise for the fallen at the battle.
