Pyrenean Symphony
The Sinfonía pirenaica (Pyrenean Symphony), inspired by the Pyrenees, was composed by Jesús Guridi in 1945 and premiered on 8 February 1946 in Bilbao by the Bilbao Municipal Orchestra conducted by Jesús Arámbarri.[1] Lasting c. 49 minutes, it consists of three movements:
- Andante sostenuto — Allegro molto moderato
- Presto ma non troppo
- Allegro brioso
All three movements are based in the Sonata form, while the harmonic language reflects Basque folk music through the use of altered thirds and sevenths in a major tonality. While it is an abstract symphony lacking a programme, it usually comes close to the tone of a symphonic poem and it features descriptive effects.[2]

gollark: JS is weird, basically.
gollark: `y[[4, 5, 7]] = 5` worked fine without spaces now, by the way.
gollark: Why would that affect anything?
gollark: That didn't work earlier but does now. Weird.
