Suit simfònica.

This was the compulsory piece for Division Two in 1986, the Contest's centenary year.

The composer, an expert on traditional Valencian music, used a series of traditional and easily-recognizable Valencia melodies and rhythms.

The piece is made up of four movements:

I.- Folies, with a dance with folk origins.

II.- Dolçainers, with the "Ball dels Nanos" theme from the Valencia Corpus Christi procession, wrapped in a habanera rhythm.

III. - Rat penat, an unusual pasodoble based on the song "Ja ve Sento".

IV. - Cançoneta, which is based on the song "L'airet de la matinada".
