Portada de la obra The Ballad of the Triad Purchase Music

“La Balada de la Triada” (“The Ballad of Triad”), was inspired by the best-seller trilogy “Idhún Memories” by the valencian writer, Laura Gallego García. In her every move is intended to describe eachof the main characters in the story, all with the variation of the same melodic design, presented at the beginning with the fanfare of trumpets. The first movement "The ice look" describes Kirtash, a ruthless murderer who can become Shek, the winged snakes that governing IdhuÅLn and has destroy all unicorns and dragons. Can hear melodies sinuous and erratic court, that emulate the movements of these reptiles. The next move "The magic of the unicorn" represents the female character, Victoria (Lunnaris, the last unicorn). The unicorns are responsible for the magic to all people, without them this disappear. This section contains a much slower and melodic music, not without some turmoil, because Victoria is in love with the two male characters and they are enemies to each other, and this affects their gift. Finally, "The Fire of the Dragon", describes Jack, who like the other characters is a hybrid, capable of becoming Yandrak, the last dragon of Idhún. Musically, is represented by a powerful theme that recurs like a leitmotiv, throughout this movement ends with a recapitulation where they mixed harmoniously all themes of the symphony.
