HISPALIS

"Hispalis" is inspired by the city of Seville, situated in the southwest of Spain. In this piece, composer Juan Pérez takes you for a walk through this magnificent city: La Giralda, its river "río Guadalquivir", its dreamy streets, the Plaza de España and its traditions. The work is divided into 4 parts: the introduction, where the Andalusian style and the sevillanas stand out; second, where the great festivities are depicted; a third one that represents the passion of the Semana Santa (Holy Week), and the last one, where the styles of several of its most emblematic neighborhoods and places, such as the Alameda or the Santa Cruz neighborhood, are captured.

This composition was created with the help of a contribution from the Music Investment Fund, an initiative of Buma/Stemra in cooperation with Voi©e, the Copyright Interests Federation and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in the Netherlands.
