"Triptic de mossèn cinto" is a composition for choir and orchestra by the Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo. It was composed in 1979 and premiered on May 17, 1980, in the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, Spain. The work is divided into three movements, each based on a poem by the Catalan poet Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer. The first movement, "La Festa de la Remei," is a festive and lively celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of the Remedies. The choir sings in Catalan, accompanied by a bright and colorful orchestration that includes brass, percussion, and strings. The movement is characterized by its rhythmic vitality and joyful spirit. The second movement, "El Virolai," is a more introspective and contemplative piece. The choir sings in a hushed and reverent tone, accompanied by a delicate orchestration that includes harp, flute, and strings. The movement is characterized by its ethereal beauty and spiritual depth. The third movement, "La Pàtria," is a grand and majestic finale that celebrates the beauty and grandeur of Catalonia. The choir sings in a powerful and triumphant tone, accompanied by a full orchestration that includes brass, percussion, and strings. The movement is characterized by its sweeping melodies and stirring harmonies. Overall, "Triptic de mossèn cinto" is a masterful work that showcases Rodrigo's skill as a composer and his deep connection to the Catalan culture and language. The work is a testament to the enduring power of music to express the deepest emotions and aspirations of the human spirit.
