Entia Imaginaria, from the Latin imaginary beings is a subject that fascinates me, especially after reading Jorge Luis Borges's Book of Imaginary Beings.
This three movements composition include:
1. Phoenix - bird that dies by fire and then is reborn from its ashes;
2. Sirena (Mermaid) - Creature part woman, part fish, whose beauty and singing lured sailors against the rocks in the sea;
3. Hippogryphus (Hippogriff) - Winged creature with the head of griffin and horse body. It symbolizes an impossible union.
This work was requested by Nuno Henriques (Bass Trombone), who I dedicate and was composed between December 2011 and February 2012.
Versions for Trombone Tenor & Strings, Bass Trombone & Piano and Tuba & Piano also available.
