about

“Compas”
Compas is the Spanish word for rhythmic structure. In Flamenco the most typical compass consists of 12 beats and I have used that in this movement. I also use nonsensical words which are typical of some flamenco songs and which are, by myself and in the flamenco songs, for their rhythmic sound.
The piece actually begins with the Arabic for Good Luck “Baraka”, but mostly the words used are “Tirri Tan” and have no literal meaning.

lyrics

Baraka. Tiri tiri Tan. Dan dan.
Taka Tigada. Dan dan
