An instrumental prelude

lyrics

I have used various languages in my work. They include Castilian (Official Standard Spanish), Arabic, Ladino (Sephardic Jewish) and Calo (Spanish Gipsy). I considered using some Latin - which would have been relevant - but in the end I decided I had sufficient words for my needs; I didn’t want to force the inclusion of Latin just to be “academically” correct.

There are sections of my work where languages are combined, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes within the same phrase, and sometimes in entirely corrupted forms. There are also words without any obvious literal meaning which I have extracted from “proper” words and used as purely musical sounds.
