  • Font-Romeu (Sardana)                                         Antoni Juncà Soler

Awarded at the Juegos Florales from Mataró in 1919, the piano version is a reduction that includes the score for cobla. Dedicated to his friend Pere Surribas. Again, the mastery of the art of composition is appreciated in Juncà as in Puigcerdà, despite being a reduction and not an original work for piano. In 6/8 for the introduction and the short pieces, and in 2/4 for the long pieces, it is an original score that constantly seeks the interplay between binary and ternary rhythms. It has a lot of contrast of characters and dynamics, and attractive melodies.

[i] In the Catalunya Nord region ménétriers are still called jutglars today. 

[ii] “The repeated note in the left hand represents the tamboret played by the same musician playing the flaviol in the cobla” (Fàbregas i Marcet 2002, 42).
