felizcumpleañosmozart.com (PS)

FELIZCUMPLEAÑOSMOZART.COM(Happybirthdaymozart.com) came about through a commission from the 2006 La Coruña Mozart Festival to celebrate the name day of the Salzburg composer's birth. There are versions both for orchestra and chamber group. The intention to give homage to Mozart is shown in a single-movement work in which we witness, in the form of a collage, a super-imposition of over thirty themes taken from various works by Mozart which combine alternating, in dialogue, overlapping, and interspersed with the central motif of Happy Birthday. The work is lively, cheerful and carefree after a solemn opening in which we hear the final chords of Don Giovannisuperimposed on the Lachrymosa of the Requiem, from which Mozart awakes to live among us for eternity.
