Benet Casablancas: Three Epigrams for orchestra

This work belongs to a chapter in the composer’s oeuvre characterized by formal concision, concentrated discourse, and expressive contrast—all qualities inherent to the epigrammatic poetic genre—without neglecting other associated aspects such as direct effectiveness in the exposition of the argument, wit, and even certain moral connotations.
