The piece was named as a Finalist in 2007 Cincinnati Camerata Composition Competition, and is a Project Encore selection.

This work will be followed by The dance of planets and stars of La Lluna by ‎Ian Shaw, a work based on The poem by Jacint Verdaguer and winner of The second edition ‎of The El Cor Canta International Composition Competition for Choir and Orchestra. The ‎concert will be rounded off with a call for peace with Missa per la Pau (Mass for ‎Peace), by Salvador Brotons.‎  less
