Description
Terra i cultura IV
Book Summary
This volume, the fourth in the series, brings together a careful selection of winning and finalist songs from the 2010 and 2011 Miquel Martí i Pol awards. Conceived as a book-CD, the work is presented as a didactic and cultural outreach tool that fuses Catalan-language poetry with original music. The reader will find around twenty compositions that turn the annual poetic-musical output into an accessible resource for educational centers and the general public, also offering detailed information about the poets and performers who bring this project to life.
What is it about?
The work is the result of the Terra i Cultura Competition, an initiative created in 2008 by Celler Vall-Llach and the Miquel Martí i Pol Foundation. Its objective is to reward and promote the best songs recorded with original music based on Catalan-language poems. This fourth volume includes a book that complements the CD with essential information on the eleven poets whose verses have been set to music, as well as brief biographies of the performers. In this way, the material functions not only as a showcase for contemporary poetic-musical creation, but also as a recreational-cultural working tool for schools, with the support of the Departments of Education and Culture of the Generalitat and the Associació de Mestres Rosa Sensat.
