Cants Màgics is a collection of six songs composed by Federico Mompou, a Spanish composer and pianist. The work was composed in 1929 and premiered in Barcelona in the same year. The songs are written for voice and piano and are based on poems by Catalan poets. The first song, "Damunt de tu només les flors" (Above you only flowers), is a gentle and melancholic piece that sets the tone for the rest of the collection. The second song, "Aquesta nit un mateix vent" (Tonight the same wind), is more lively and rhythmic, with a playful melody that reflects the poem's sense of joy and celebration. The third song, "Jo et pressentia com la mar" (I sensed you like the sea), is a slow and introspective piece that captures the poem's sense of longing and desire. The fourth song, "Jo et vull cantar com els ocells" (I want to sing to you like the birds), is a delicate and ethereal piece that evokes the beauty of nature and the joy of singing. The fifth song, "La nit de Nadal" (Christmas night), is a haunting and atmospheric piece that captures the mystery and magic of the holiday season. The final song, "El combat del somni" (The battle of dreams), is a powerful and dramatic piece that explores the themes of struggle and perseverance. Overall, Cants Màgics is a beautiful and evocative collection of songs that showcases Mompou's skill as a composer and his ability to capture the essence of the poems he set to music. The work is characterized by its gentle melodies, introspective lyrics, and sense of wonder and magic.
