Joaquím Homs: Música de cámara con guitarra

Joaquim Homs, a pioneering Catalan composer born in 1906, left an indelible mark on the world of classical music with his innovative and evolving style. Initially exploring free counterpoint and atonality, Homs' early works showcased his adventurous spirit. In 1954, he embraced the twelve-tone technique, delving into the complexities of serialism. A pupil of the renowned Roberto Gerhard, Homs' compositions reflect a deep connection to his Catalan roots, particularly through his vocal settings of Catalan verse. His instrumental works, ranging from orchestral pieces to intimate chamber music, demonstrate his versatility and mastery. Homs' discography, featuring albums like "Homs: Music for Guitar & Guitar Duo" and "Homs: Music for Chamber Orchestra," invites listeners to explore the rich tapestry of his musical journey.
