A fairy tale full of inspiration written by a child was the stimulus for the creation of this polytonal work for orchestra. With humor and innocence, piquant orchestration and cinematic use of the sound, the work is dedicated to the child, Michalis Tillianakis and to Eleftherios Geitonas, director of Geitonas School who gave the idea for this project.
The work has been transcribed for piano, 4 hands op.34b, for the Duo Pianismo recital in Benetatou Cultural Center of Psihiko in 2010 and for wind quintet op.34c for the Q innegal Wind Quintet Concerts in Athens in 2011 (Attikon OdeionConservatory, Art Gallery Café, Athens, Perigiali Theater, Korinthos). Excerpts of the work has been transcribed for Chamber Orchestra op.34d and performed by Psychiko Youth Orchestra conducted by the composer at Arssakeion Educational Institute Theater in 2016.

This beloved holiday classic is arranged with the early beginner in mind and is perfectly suitable for students nearing the end of the Bastien Primer B or Alfred Primer C method series. Piano Primo is written in Middle C Position, uses eighth notes, and is played one octave higher than written throughout the piece. There are also several spots where the left hand crosses over the right hand to reach a note that is outside of Middle C Position. Notes are also slightly enlarged for easier reading. Piano Secondo is ideal for a teacher or intermediate student who is comfortable with reading both hands in bass clef. The harmony changes ever so slightly with each iteration. Only 5 days are written here, but it would be easy to add repeated bars to get through all 12 days. Either way, this makes for a great piece for a young student at a winter recital! The PDF download contains both a full score and a set of individual parts - Piano Primo and Piano Secondo. Both parts are formatted to avoid any page turns.

Rudesindo Soutelo
Filhos da Revolução dos Cravos / Children of the Carnation Revolution (2024) for Piano Duet [ca. 5' 21]
ISMN: 979-0-707704-21-9

The songs of intervention that filled the revolutionary spirit are perceived by the generations born afterwards as grandfather’s little stories. The children of a revolution are always calm and carefree, but this complacent detachment contains within itself the germs of new tensions that could become the cause and beginning of a new revolution.

The original version, for Orff instruments, was written for the Instrumental Group of the Vila Praia de Âncora Primary and Secondary School to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution.

The generative complex that organises the whole work {6[2, 2, 2], 2, 9[3, 3, 3]} is taken from the number of letters in the words of the title.

Os cantos de intervenção que preencheram o espírito revolucionário são percebidos, pelas gerações que nasceram depóis, como as historinhas do avô. Os filhos duma revolução são sempre calmos e despreocupados, mas essa acomodada distensão encerra em si mesma os germes de novas tensões que podem vir a ser a causa e o princípio duma nova revolução.

A versão original, para instrumentos Orff, foi escrita para o Grupo Instrumental da Escola Básica e Secundária de Vila Praia de Âncora para assim celebrar o cinquenta aniversário da Revolução dos Cravos.

O complexo geratriz que organiza toda a obra {6[2, 2, 2], 2, 9[3, 3, 3]} está tomado do número de letras que contêm as palavras do título.
