This work, commissioned by the Catalan Association of Composers, debuted in 1996 in Barcelona, and is a triple homage: to J.S.Bach (in the evoking of the Suite in B minor for the flute and orchestra, in its first movement); to Salvador Espriu (in the general title of the work, its subtitles, and the poem that illustrates the third movement), and to Antoni Vila-Arrufat (for whom I composed "I have looked at this land," in commemoration of the Centennial of his birth).

Salvador Espriu’s verses took on the extraordinary dimension of a collective prayer for our land, which the author would like to be able to recreate each time it is heard. There is also a version without the soprano voice (which is taken over by the orchestra) and, therefore, without the text.

I. Quan la llum ... (When the light ...)

II. Quan el falcó ... (When the falcon ...)

III. He mirat aquesta terra. (I looked upon this land.)
