Escrita para bombardino y electroacústica pregrabada y en vivo, esta obra fue estrenada por Rubén Costa Paz acompañado por Jorge Carrillo como sonista en el marco de las actividades celebradas durante los EME 2015. En palabras del propio autor, "Queen Mary’s Death es una precuela de la
célebre obra de Henry Purcell que pretende ser una aproximación poética al
topos del memento mori a partir de la tragedia de una mujer que en la flor de
su juventud se enfrenta a la muerte".
Aquí tenéis la versión de estudio grabada por Rubén Costa Paz y Jorge Carrillo Fernández a finales del curso pasado.
Written by Henry Purcell (1659-1695) originally for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, four trumpets, and organ, was performed at the funeral of Mary II of England and parts of it sounded at the funeral of the composer himself. The version that you can listen here is adapted for tuba ensemble and percussion, trying to preserve to the maximum the extraordinary beauty of the music written by Henry Purcell.
Enjoy it...

The concept of the expanded tubas was developed last year by Miguel Ángel Fernández. Miguel had been working in a very nice musical installation called Humanless Orchestra in which a chamber orchestra was reproducing a recorded piece, using the instruments as the own resonators... When I saw this project, I asked Miguel, that is in fact a wonderfull friend of mine, to do something similar with tubas... but instead of reproducing recorded music, we could play something together, a free improvisation with the aid of live electronics....
After several trials, modifying several things, the expanded tubas started to function as we wanted... we hope you enjoy the live recordings of this two versions of the same piece... a free improvisation called Turbo...
Thanks Miguel!!

It's always good to receive a visit from a professor
of tuba, a colleague who shares his experiences and his vision of the tuba with
the students of CONSMUPA. The Erasmus + program not only allows mobility for
the students, but provides an excellent vehicle for the exchange of educational
experiences through the teachers mobility. The CONSMUPA Tuba studio has already
been benefited by the visit of Gabriel Capet, from Lille (France) and soon,
from the 20th to 22 May 2015, we will enjoy the visit of Professor Alexandre
Cerdá Belda, from Conservatory G.
Martucci of Salerno (Italy). Classes are open, any tuba player who want to
come to the CONSMUPA to meet Alexandre Cerdá, will be welcome.
In this case it is a somewhat special visit as I know
Alex for many years, we have meet in numerous tuba courses where we developed a
great relationship. By then, we were young, full of enthusiasm and eager to
learn ... Alex's visit is a great opportunity to ensure that we continue full
of enthusiasm, and our desire to learn has grown ... being both still young…but
no so young.
Welcome Alex !!

Siempre es
positivo recibir la visita de un profesor de tuba, un colega que comparte sus
experiencias y su visión de la tuba con los alumnos del CONSMUPA. El programa
Erasmus+, no solo permite la movilidad del alumnado, sino que proporciona un
excelente vehículo para el intercambio de experiencias pedagógicas a través de
la movilidad del profesorado. El Aula de Tuba del CONSMUPA se ha visto
beneficiada por la visita de Gabriel Capet, procedente de Lille (Francia), y
próximamente, durante los días 20 al 22 de mayo de 2015, podremos disfrutar de
la visita del profesor Alexandre Cerdá Belda, procedente del Conservatorio G. Martucci de Salerno (Italia). Las
clases serán abiertas, cualquier tubista que desee acercarse al CONSMUPA para
conocer a Alexandre Cerdá, será bienvenido.
En este
caso se trata de una visita un tanto especial, ya que conozco a Alex desde hace
muchos años, coincidimos en numerosos cursos de tuba en los que entablamos una
estupenda relación. Éramos jóvenes, cargados de ilusión y con muchas ganas de
aprender… su visita es una magnífica oportunidad para comprobar que seguimos
cargados de ilusión, y nuestras ganas de aprender han crecido… aunque ya no
seamos tan jóvenes.
Bienvenido
Alex!!

It is not easy to coordinate a group of thirty-four tubas and two
percussionists, coming from different parts of Spain for the occasion, is not
easy to get that LABoral Centro de Arte kindly yield us, thanks largely to the
efforts of David Muñoz, a breathtakingly
beautiful space, is not easy to have two great professionals like Miguel Ángel
Fernández -in charge of conducting video- and
René de Coupaud sound engineer, both extraordinarily generous sharing
with us their valuable time and expertise. It is not easy, as I say, embarking
on a project of this size, taming a difficult and uncomfortable acoustic for a
group like Keep in Touch Tuba Project, and interpret a wonderful music imagined
by the genius of Henry Purcell (1659-1695 ) for vocals, natural trumpets and
strings.
The challenge was enormous, but the generosity of all who participated
in the project has made possible to end the day back home, tired, rather
exhausted but satisfied. Keep in Touch In Tuba Project, papers and lecterns
spread with extraordinary ease, musicians mingle with different levels so that
all voices be equalized. From Yotuba platform, David Munoz and Hugo Portas,
tireless and effective managing the purchase of shirts, provision of music
stands, chairs, conductors stage and all the small details, seemingly
insignificant but essential, as well as the control of the musicians with the
countless calls and messages that this job entails. Miguel Angel Martin came
with his inseparable camera, and although this time, feeling a bit sick, he
did'nt play, he spent the whole day with us capturing the beauty of teamwork.
Again, a recording of these characteristics is not easy, in fact it is
only possible through the generosity of all who participated in such an
exciting project. Pending the video and audio assembly, I think the result
will be satisfactory ...
