1.Heracles y Yolao
2.El sueno del monstruo
3.El Hydra
The innovative Spanish composer Ferrer Ferran
has taken Greek mythology as an inspiration for
his concerto for trumpet and concert band. Hydra,
the water monster decapitated by Hercules and
Iolaus, terrorised the area of Lerna, near Argos.
The concerto is in three sections which contrast
with each other. The first section is rhythmical and
triumphant, the second is calm and melodious and
the last part provides an aggressive ending. A
welcome addition to the repertoire for solo trumpet
and concert band.
