PHOBOS (SINFONÍA Nº 3)

Fobos (del grec Φóβoς, "por/fòbia/pànic") is the larger of the two moons of the planet Mars.

In Greek mythology, Phobos was the son of Ares and Aphrodite and the personification of fear and terror.

The piece was conceived as a one movement symphony, in the style of the early symphonies of the eighteenth century, but with a developed structure and motifs. Phobos begins its thematic structure with the introduction of a leitmotif in I-VII-III, over the dominant of the dominant (V/V) of a so-called spatial tonality (a term referring to a tonality's basic identification information which is not reasserted by the tonality's development process).

In the introductory phase, diverse alphanumeric combinations are created on the basis of a symbiosis of letters representing the title of the work in relation to the Eb chromatic scale, as much for the rhythmic-melodic constructions of the woodwinds as for some of the chords struck by the brass instruments. Its later variations are constructed following the classical systems of musical development.
