Sis cançons de Nadal (Six Christmas Songs) has the aim to be an option for a program which includes Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols. There is very little choral repertoire that can be accompanied by harp and there are few pieces for female choir that are more interesting and brilliant than the aforementioned piece. The composer &pub2_8=Tríptic de Sant Josep &pub2_8b=Three songs devoted to Saint Joseph for a male choir and piano, with a castanet part “ad libitum” in the third song. Their musical language is classical, funny –a bit cheeky- and very easy reading. &pub2_9=Les dotze van sonant &pub2_9b=Children's Choir, High-voice Choir, Mixed Choir


12 Christmas carols for three choirs from all over Europe

“Les dotze van sonant” has its origin in a request of the Escola Coral del Palau de la Música Catalana de Barcelona (Choral School of the Palau de la Música Catalana of Barcelona) consisting in connecting 11 songs from all over the world with different arrangements, musical languages, keys and languages by means of different organ interludes and crown it with a new arrangement of the song “Les dotze van tocant”. This version premiered on Saint Steve’s day (December 26th) of 2006.

Thus, this piece consists of 12 Christmas carols from all over Europe, to be sung in nine different languages (German, Czech, Polish and Latin amongst others) for organ and three different choirs: a children’s’ choir, a female choir and a mixed choir, with easily accessible arrangements for our autochthon choirs, in order not to complicate the musical aspect, to permit a higher concentration on the linguistic aspect.

There is a possible forth choir, which can be incorporated in this piece: the public. It can join the singers on stage in two of the most known songs amongst Christmas carols: “Adeste Fideles” and “Escolteu! Els àngels canten”. The score includes a sheet with the music, the texts and an outline for both songs, that can be photocopied and handed out to the public with the program. &pub2_10=Sis cançons de Nadal &pub2_10b=Choir with piano or harp

The present edition is based on the autograph score kept by the Biblioteca de Catalunya and on a contemporary French edition. Both versions differ from each other in some details and the French edition is much more prolix in terms of dynamics, articulation, etc. &pub1_10=Trio en Fa Major &pub1_10b=Formación de cámara


The present edition is based on the autograph score kept by the Biblioteca de Catalunya. This score is especially imprecise in its notation of the tessitura (for instance when referring to high octave) and in the notation of pizzicati. On the contrary, however, it is more explicit in the notation of the dynamics. In the first case (tessitura), the publisher often has had to deduce the duration of the notation. As refers the pizzicati, the publisher has tried to simplify their use. All additions made by the publisher are written in parentheses or with discontinuous line. &pub1_11=Nem a ordenar les golfes! &pub1_11b=(Let’s go to tidy the attic!)

For elementary piano students.


Collection of piano pieces in progressive order of difficulty for piano beginners. What could you find in the attic? 33 songs like "The mouse", "The popcorn making machine," "The ship Galactica," "The basket of hippie clothes," "The Phantom" ... &___________________________________________________________________________________& &pub3_1=gaTONADES Il·lustrades &pub3_1b=Book + CD
