The Simfonia al 1908 was written for the centenary of the Palau de la Música Catalana. It is a bold work, in the same way as the Domènech i Montaner building.
The four movements have as their leitmotif poems by Miquel Desclot – a friend and partner of Ros Marbà – and translations of poetry by Michelangelo Buonarroti. It is a work laden with musical resources and tones, with constantly varying tempos, imbued throughout with indeterminacy and running through clusters, or elements ranging from a rhythmic ostinato of exuberant percussion to the ethereally fading barcarolle, after the extensive, splendid end to the third movement. We read it in Desclot’s text: “the clouds open”, we “evade all hurdles”.
