Braga is entitled after a lithograph of the same name by noted Canadian artist John Snow. I knew John through his association with New Works Calgary, an organization he co-founded in the early 80s. I had the pleasure of composing a short piece on the occasion of John and Kathleen Snow’s 50th wedding anniversary; John presented me with one of his lithographs (Braga) in appreciation. I’m not certain of the origin of the title, but I assume it is named after the city in northern Portugal. The still life has a sense of intense summer heat, and the flowers suggest to me simple geometrical figures as much as blossoms. I have tried to capture something of the character of this lithograph in the composition. The text is from a trovador poem entitled Cantiga d’amor written by Airas Nunez in the late 13th century. The language is Galician-Portuguese, a medieval dialect popular with poets throughout the Iberian peninsula at that time. The work was commissioned by New Works Calgary for the Ensemble Resonance with the assistance of the Canada Council –BL
