'What Inspires Poetry' is a contemporary classical composition by Spanish composer Jorge Grundman. The piece was composed in 2010 and premiered on May 22, 2011, at the National Auditorium of Music in Madrid, Spain. The composition consists of three movements, each inspired by a different aspect of poetry. The first movement, titled "The Word," is inspired by the power of language and the way words can evoke emotions and create images in the mind of the reader. The music is characterized by a slow, contemplative melody played by the strings, with occasional bursts of energy from the brass and percussion. The second movement, "The Image," is inspired by the visual imagery that poetry can create. The music is more lively and playful, with a prominent role for the woodwinds and percussion. The melody is fragmented and constantly shifting, creating a sense of movement and change. The final movement, "The Sound," is inspired by the musicality of poetry. The music is characterized by a driving rhythm and a sense of urgency, with the brass and percussion taking center stage. The melody is repetitive and insistent, building to a powerful climax before fading away into silence. Overall, 'What Inspires Poetry' is a complex and multi-layered composition that explores the many facets of poetry. Grundman's use of different musical textures and styles creates a rich and varied sonic landscape that reflects the diversity of poetic expression. The piece is a testament to the enduring power of poetry and its ability to inspire and move us.
