Composed by Luis Cardoso. Contemporary. Octavo. 140 pages. Luis Cardoso #6168163. Published by Luis Cardoso (A0.934373).Challenged by my friend André Granjo, I wrote this piece for Wind Instruments Group of Coimbra (GISC), where André is now conductor. It is expected to be premiered during the first months of 2013, in collaboration with internationally renowned saxophonist Jean-Yves Fourmeau.
I've been teenager GISC saxophonist, and with the group traveled through several European cities, which otherwise would have been impossible for me. I dedicate the "Martim’s Legend" to GISC and Professor Adelino Martins, who directed the group for decades, until his retirement this year.
I related his name with a book I read, "A Lenda de Martim Regos" written by Pedro Canais and published in 2004. Martin, the main character, is born in Ribatejo (Portuguese province) in the fifteenth century, and his fate led him through Africa, America and Asia. Its amazing fictional story inspired me this music, because of travel, discovery, persistence and distracted absorbing knowledge.
