Description
A massive and epic symphony inspired by the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola. A hundred musicians performing live these glorious sounds. The spirit of the Jesuits lives in this music: Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.
Notes
The Jesuit Symphony is an epic work inspired by the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The idea of writing such a symphony emerged after the composer read the book “Ignatius of Loyola, the pilgrim saint”, by the Jesuit priest José Ignacio Tellechea. The movements were written and finished in a single inspired burst and in the order they appear in the Symphony. After six months of intense work, the composition was ready.
In May 2005, the composer visited Rome and presented the full score to the Curia Generalizia of the Jesuits as a musical offering for the Company of Jesus. The General of the Order, father Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, wrote a moving acknowledge letter.
The Jesuit Symphony was recorded in the city of Puebla in July 2013 by the Orquesta Sinfónica del Estado de Puebla (Puebla State Symphony Orchestra), Mónica Chávez as soprano soloist, and Mtro. Fernando Lozano conducting. The World Premiere of Jesuit Symphony took place at San Pedro Museo de Arte, Puebla, on July 26th, 2013. The Premiere was a huge success. The audience kept applauding for several minutes in a standing ovation. On September 10th, the work was performed, even with greater success, at the National Conservatoire, in Mexico City, in a special concert for the 70th Anniversary of Universidad Iberoamericana.
