Ave Maria is a motet intended to express love and contemplation. The “Sancta Maria” part attracts particular attention, with its repetitive character encouraging a meditative state. The unison with the word “nunc” underscores the concept of “now”.
Dies unus, literally “day one”, draws on text from the Book of Genesis: the beginning of the world. By extension, it refers to the initial moment of any life or story, when nothing has happened yet and anything is possible: the moment of great hope.
El collar de caragoles i Primavera en un jardí romàntic (The Snail Necklace and Spring in a Romantic Garden) consists of a pair of twinned poems. Their fresh, tender, innocent air expresses sentiments greatly admired by the poet Màrius Torres.

Pobresa (Poverty), with lyrics by Jacint Verdaguer (from the book Flors del calvari), expresses the emptiness we feel when faced with the loss of the things in which we placed our trust, very much a hymn to sadness and the final dignity of people.
Reple nos mane (“May your love fill us every morning”) is an appeal for love and protection in a moment of uncertainty.
Son soneta i Sardana satírica de Rupít (Sleep, Little Sleep and Satirical Sardana from Rupít) is an arrangement of two traditional songs with a considerable contrast. One is a simple lullaby and the other is an ironic, festive song.
