Hawkes Pocket Scores HPS 1634
Parada. HPS 1634. orchestra. Partition d'étude.

New edition of this hitherto unpublished 13-minute work, which was first performed in 2002 by the Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Jukka-Pekka Saraste. The title clearly suggests a parade ; but, as Lindberg points out, in Spanish, 'parada' also denotes a bus-stop or taxi-rank : a wry acknowledgement, perhaps, of the long wait for a slow movement from this composer at that time. For him, Parada is the middle panel of a loosely conceived triptych, the flanking sections of which are Feria (1997) and Cantigas (1999).
Lindberg draws a parallel with Debussy's Images, in which each of the three parts was conceived and premièred separately, and retains its own identity. Instrumentation : orchestra
