TOMAS MARCO / JORDI CERVELLO / RAMON BARCE / FRANCISCO CANO

 MUSICA ESPANOLA CONTEMPORANEA LP

Movieplay / EMEC

Rare spanish 70's original with avant-garde pieces from composers Tomas Marco, Jordi Cervello, Ramon Barce, Francisco Cano.

Some info on the release:  Rare original issue, released in Spain sometime in the 70's on the great Movieplay label and EMEC (Editorial de Música Española Contemporanea) which was created in 1970 as  a collaboration of some spanish composers (Jesús Villa-Rojo, Claudio Prieto,  Carlos Cruz de Castro) for publishing spanish contemporary music.

Tomas Marco studied violin and composition in Madrid while at the same time pursuing the study of law (he received his licenciate in law in 1963). He turned to composition in 1958, and in 1962 began attending the Darmstädter Internationale Ferienkurse, where he furthered his studies with Bruno Maderna, Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, György Ligeti, Gottfried Michael Koenig, and Theodor W. Adorno. In 1967 he participated in Stockhausen’s collective composition project Ensemble at Darmstadt. His compositional style is rooted in the music of the Darmstadt School. For example, Transformación (1974) strongly recalls Ligeti’s Lux aeterna (1966)—both are composed for 16 solo voices—as well as the harmonic overtone-singing of Stockhausen’s Stimmung (1968). In 1965 he began a brief association with the neo-Dada composers’ group Zaj, founded the previous year by Walter Marchetti, Juan Hidalgo, and Ramón Barce. He helped to found the Studio Nueva Generación in 1967, by which time some of his compositions were beginning to include references to historical styles and quotations from earlier composers—for example, Angelus novus (1971) refers to Gustav Mahler, the Cello Concerto (1976) is based on themes by Manuel de Falla as well as the Cant dels ocells by Pablo Casals, and his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies (1987 and 1989, respectively) both use a quotation from Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra (Soler 1994)—and for this reason his name is sometimes connected with the German New Simplicity composers. Around 1970 he began to employ traditional forms such as the symphony, sonata, and, especially, the concerto. His return to nationalism involves amongst other things a number of important works for the guitar, including three concertos (Marco 1995).

Ramon Barce was born in Madrid in 1928, he went on to study Philosophy and Letters in Madrid. While he was often classified as a self-taught composer, he also studied at the conservatory in his native city. He is one of the representatives of the generation of 51, and founder of Grupo Nueva Música (1958). In 1977, he was the first president of the Spanish Symphonic Composers Association, and one of the catalysts of experimental action music. He was sub-director of the magazine “Ritmo” between 1982 and 1993.

Condition: Vinyl lies in mint- condition, looks super clean and plays nicely with some occasional surface noise, while cover lies in mint- shape, near to new (see picture).
