Recovering the liturgy of memory in memory, master of masters, dancer and choreographer, Joan Magrinyà proudly remembered his debut with Le bourgeois gentilhomme by Moliere and Richard Strauss on the stage of the Palau, nearly a hundred years ago, and the hug of hope that you give him Pau Casals presenting him to the public of Barcelona.

Remembering the memory of his memory, in symmetrical analogy: the debut of the young maestro Éric Varas - chosen in philharmonic communion to conduct this Requiem - and the return of Asunción Aguadé, the great star dancer of the maestro (from the late Liceu ballet), they are the noun that conjures this concertante of musicians, singers and dancers, in memoriam, recovering the ancestral condition of ritual liturgy of the dead with which Mozart created the substance of the resurrection.

Eternity may lie in the transmission of the memory of the memory in what is taught—in what is learned—in the transmission of the spirit that is the seed of life. Life and death, in art, perhaps, share a similar feeling, in a constant analogy of eternity. Jaume Villanueva
