Dedication(not set)
Program NotesLa ciudad celeste is a single movement work. Its "continuum" is based on a dialogue between the baritone soloist and the chorus, with several orchestral episodes reflecting the outstanding images of the biblical narration.

The composer has expressed that he was mainly attracted by the surrealistic quality of John the Divine's description of a city descending from the celestial space like "a bride adorned for her husband."
