Works

al-Uqṣur

Since very early that I've been interested in the ancient world civilizations, and the Egyptian civilization is perhaps the one that most fascinates me. This work portrays an “imaginary folklore” mainly based in literature about the Ancient Egypt. Work dedicated to Francisco Ferreira and Banda Sinfónica Portuguesa, with premiere at the 3rd Concurso Nacional de Composição Banda Sinfónica Portuguesa.

Movements:

1. al-Uqṣur – The ancient city of Thebes, the great capital of Egypt during the new kingdom, and the glorious city of the god Amon-Ra

2. Torrents from Nile – The Nile is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world

3. The Pyramid of Giza – The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis. It is the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the only one to remain largely intact

4. Cairo City – Cairo is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in the middle-east. Located near the Nile delta, it was founded in (Anno Domini) 969 and is known as “the city of a thousand minarets”

5. The Nile Delta – The Nile Delta is formed in northern Egypt where the Nile river spreads out and drains into the mediterranean sea. It is one of the world’s largest river deltas.

6. Luxor – The current name of al-Uqṣur..
