José Monfort Monserrat, a neighbor of Gata, has composed a procession march in honor of the "Mare de Déu dels Desemparats", a work he has dedicated to the Fishermen's Association of Dénia. The march will premiere on May 11, during the procession that will run through the streets of the marine district and the port and will be performed by the Musical Artistic Group of Dénia.
As the author explains, this 5 and a half minute piece "is composed for seven voices and eighty musicians are needed to perform it". Monfort took less than a month to compose it and it is not the first work that he gives to the city. Already last July, during the procession dedicated to the Sang Santíssima, one of his marches.
Councilor for Culture, Pepa FontThe waitress Mare de Deu, Sara Marchante, and Maite Agulles, on behalf of the Artistic Association Musical of Dénia Monfort have accompanied the presentation of the work this morning in the municipality of Dénia.
José Monfort
José Monfort, at almost 80 years old, is a young composer who has barely dedicated himself to music for a decade. Now, he is a prolific author who in this time has completed 64 works and already has scripts prepared for another thirty. Only in 2014 he has composed six procession pieces for various towns in the Marina Alta.
Among its short-term projects, Monfort recounts enthusiastically participating in a tribute "to all women in Spain" organized by a radio station in Valencia for the month of July and the release in September of a work dedicated to Josefa Domingo Catalá, Duchess of Almodóvar, Madame de Gata, Lliber and Xaló, on the occasion of the second centenary of his death.
