Grade: 4
Angkor is a symphonic poem inspired by its city and its temple, one of the most impressive complexes in the world.
“The first movement begins with the awakening of Angkor. It is a tranquil moment where we find ourselves in the sunny morning of the city and little by little we enter the jungle, which shows us all the strength and life it has within.
“In the second movement we begin the journey towards the temple. It is a mysterious journey full of questions and steps that advance without knowing exactly what will be at the end.
“And in the third movement we arrive at the Temple of Angkor. Here everything unfolds: the emotion, the grandeur of the architecture, and the spirits that abound within it. The feelings evoked in this movement transport us to all the mysteries that remained unsolved in the city of Angkor.”
