Requiem of light and darkness for the present moment
There are pieces of music that are born from silence and return to it, like a shared breath. El cant dels ocells, rooted in Catalan tradition, is one of those melodies that traverse time with disarming simplicity. In its voice, made of earth and light, resonates the most ancient desire: peace. Transformed into a universal symbol precisely by Pau Casals, this song opens the concert like a prayer without words.
With Exsultate, jubilate, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart invites us to a radiant jewel. The voice takes flight with lightness, as if celebrating the possibility of a world reconciled with itself. In this youthful and luminous music, peace is not the absence of conflict, but fullness, a suspended moment where everything seems to find its place, just as Victoria de los Ángeles did in her masterful interpretation of this piece by Mozart, the most universal of composers.
His Requiem leads us toward another dimension: that of memory, mourning, and transcendence, so important in this moment we are living through. Unfinished, like so many lives and so many dreams, it contains a force that moves us deeply. Between darkness and light, the music traces a path that is not only one of farewell, but also of consolation. In each chord, in each silence, one senses a search for a deeper, more intimate and universal peace.
This concert is a song for peace but also for the reflection and remembrance of so many lives lost in conflict. From the Victoria de los Ángeles Foundation, a voice that moved the world with its humanity and truth, we are promoting for the third year this Concert for Peace that seems, unfortunately, increasingly necessary.
