The overture has a tripartite structure with two quick sections that frame a slow section. The first part begins with a theme presented by low brass, passes to the rest of the band and leads to a strike of tam-tam. Below is a small mysterious section that reminds us of the enigmatic corners from the small island of Es Vedrà. Then a more lyrical theme appears in the trumpets that represents the tranquility of the climate and the landscape of this place, which is conducted to the full orchestra. In the third section the first theme is reexposed and culminates in the energetic and spectacular end of this dynamic and brilliant overture.

DUNKIRK
Duration: 15:00
Dunkirk is a French city that served as a backdrop for the Allied military operation between May and June 1940. Known as Operation Dynamo, it consisted of the evacuation of Allied troops that had been encircled by the Nazi German army during the Battle of Dunkirk in full invasion of France. Almost the entire British Expeditionary Force, part of the Belgian army and three units of the French army had to evacuate the beaches and the port of Dunkirk before the German offensive. In spite of the bombings and the cornered by the German military, they were able to rescue more than 300,000 soldiers. José Alberto Pina has tried to reflect the most dramatic moments of this operation. The composition is divided into small sections. It begins with The Prologue where the main theme of Dunkirk appears, followed by The mole, the beach, where the long wait was taking over the soldiers. In The bombers you can hear how little by little these planes were getting closer to take a nosedive and destroy the lives of the soldiers. The Dunkirk Spirit is a term in the British press that refers to the solidarity of the British people as they played a fundamental role, using small boats to get close to the beach and help with the transfer of soldiers. The Failed Evacuation is related to how the soldiers try to survive while trying to climb the big ships, but the bombers end up sinking without the possibility of surviving. In The Hymn, the melody of the beginning of the work is listening again on the trumpet, now developed throughout the orchestra and with great lyricism and nobility to finish with The Successful Evacuation, where the full orchestra along with the drums will put a spectacular ending to this fantastic composition by José Alberto Pina.

SENDES
Duration: 16:30
When I started writing this work, I was clear that I did not intend to write a programmatic piece based on a story, but on an emotional image. My intention was to talk about the human being, to represent through music, emotions and motivational processes with which he lives daily. It is a series of variations developed from a technical and musical point of view with which I intend to emphasize, the life of a human being, showing thematic variations as well as emotional ones. At the beginning of the first bars, all the material is presented thematic, only three musical notes that represent the human being: RE-MI-SOL.
