Cançons per a veu i piano

Four song cycles written throughout almost forty years are only a little token of the Catalan composer and pianist Leonora Milà’s contribution to our country’s music. Even so, this minor contribution (minor because of its quantity, not its quality) is essential if we want to understand Leonora Milà’s music. Her songs are, as she herself defines them, “neoromantic” and fit perfectly in the general context of Milà’s oeuvre from a formal point of view: an oeuvre, which is basically based on symphonic music, ballet and first and foremost on music for piano. Divided into four cycles and taking literary texts as a reference, Milà’s songs contain simple melodies with complex accompaniments, adding short pieces of a great musical density to the collection. In short, very interesting music, halfway between simple melody and calculated risk, that doesn’t differ at all from the rest of Leonora Milà’s works (over a hundred).
