To talk about 'Flowering Passages' is to talk about Cieza, its history, its culture, its heritage and a special way to enjoy spring.
To discover a city and its heritage, time becomes a perfect ally, in which the absence of hurry allows you to find the leisurely beauty of a concert of sacred music, offered by the Coral Ars Nova, in the House-Museum of the Holy Week of Cieza.
The recital is so charming that it is an activity that is difficult to leave.
No choral music lover can doubt the value of the choir directed by Alejandro Molina, which is undoubtedly given by its excellent quality.
Of course, hearing it is an unforgettable experience: it far exceeds the expectations of all those who love polyphony.
They only have one thing on their heads: they want to offer a recital of choral singing that goes a little further than usual.
At the point between the good and the outstanding is the difference, and that is where the Ars Nova Coral moved under the direction of Alejandro Molina, whose mixture of youth and talent results in an extraordinary quality finish.
To all this was added the musical accompaniment of the pianist Pablo Martínez Pino.
A Holy Week museum can fool the view.
An exhibition space dedicated to imagery suddenly becomes a place of voices, music and friends.
A year ago the City Council of Cieza recognized the value of this activity, which was framed in a set of celebrations linked to the flowering project Bloom, and included 'Afterwork & Passages Flowering' in the program.
Everything in its place, everything remarkable.
Why 'Flowering Passages' is celebrated inside historic places of Cieza?
In the first place, because the spaces loaded with history offer people a cozy place to meet.
In sociocultural events, people need a place to interrelate.
Urban space and memory combine to tell us that certain places are special, consecrated by their extraordinary architectural merits and by social consensus.
We call these places historic buildings and it seems normal that they exist.
Some are large and protected as the Basilica of the Assumption.
Others are more modest and intimate, such as the hermitage of San Bartolomé or the Franciscan cloister of the Father Salmerón Municipal Library.
Each of them contains more than enough attractions to attract the attention of cezanos and visitors.
A good example of this is the House-Museum of the Holy Week in Cieza, which on this occasion is justified as the protagonist of what means 'Flowering Passages', as it appears as the place chosen for the concert of sacred music offered by the Coral Ars Nova .
The main interest of the recital last night resided in his repertoire: in the first part pieces of the universal Requiem of Mozart ('Introitus', Dies irae', 'Rex tremendae' and 'Lacrimosa' and, in the second part, compositions that have formed part in the last years of the chorale coral ('Ave verum', 'Cantata', 'Lord here you have me', 'Close to you, Lord', 'Death is not the end', 'Ave Maria' of Arcadelt, 'Signore dell Cima', 'Santo' and 'La noche.' Hence the well-deserved expression of respect and admiration received by the forty voices from a loyal audience that occupies a very important place in the trajectory of this choir.
More than 80 people, including the mayor of Cieza, Pascual Lucas;
the Councilor for Museums, Conchi Villa, and the president of the Board of Passion Brotherhoods, Joaquín Gómez, gathered in the historic building of Cánovas del Castillo street to attend this activity included in the Floración tourism project.
Indeed, heritage becomes the stage in which art and music merge.
They are two unique and surprising experiences that could be enjoyed in this first activity, but always with the healthy bases of Murcian cuisine in its formulation and with the personal touch that Gomis Bar Restaurant gives its recipes to present to the diner.
And he did it with very suggestive and attractive snacks, accompanied by a simple delight: the fifth of Estrella de Levante.
