HOMS: Music for Chamber Orchestra |
A pupil of Roberto Gerhard, the Catalan composer Joaquím Homs developed a style that, after
experiment with atonality, led to a full use of serialism. His music, however, remains expressive
and approachable. Apart from the early Suite, written at fifteen, the other works included here
follow the development of Homs’s musical language from the Piano Concertino of 1946 through
serialism to the expressiveness of his String Soliloquy and Piano Diptych of the 1970s.
