Product Description
These two choral pieces are drawn from Marcos Fernández Barreros Requiem, a large-scale work for chorus and orchestra dedicated to his father. Originally composed for SATB choir, they have been adapted for female chorus while preserving the expressive depth of the original setting.
The texts, Campo and Caminante, are poems by Antonio Machado, whose evocative imagery reflects on nature, solitude, and the journey of life. Campo paints a contemplative picture of an open, desolate landscape, while Caminante (from Proverbios y cantares) carries the well-known metaphor of the path that is made by walkingan invitation to embrace the uncertainty of lifes journey.
Through rich harmonic textures, modal inflections, and subtle timbral shifts, the music enhances Machados reflective tone, creating an atmospheric and emotionally resonant experience. The arrangements for female chorus maintain the works essence while offering a new vocal color and expressive potential.

Estas dos piezas corales provienen del Requiem de Marcos Fernández Barrero, una obra de gran escala para coro y orquesta dedicada a su padre. Originalmente compuestas para coro SATB, han sido adaptadas para coro femenino, preservando la profundidad expresiva de la versión original.
Los textos, Campo y Caminante, son poemas de Antonio Machado, cuya imaginería evocadora reflexiona sobre la naturaleza, la soledad y el viaje de la vida. Campo dibuja un paisaje contemplativo, abierto y desolado, mientras que Caminante (extraído de Proverbios y cantares) desarrolla la célebre metáfora del camino que se hace al andar, una invitación a aceptar la incertidumbre del viaje de la vida.
A través de ricas texturas armónicas, inflexiones modales y sutiles variaciones tímbricas, la música realza el tono reflexivo de Machado, creando una experiencia atmosférica y emocionalmente resonante. Los arreglos para coro femenino mantienen la esencia de la obra, al tiempo que exploran nuevos colores vocales y posibilidades expresivas.
