In January 2005, Roel was invited to the "Music nas
Montanhas" Festival in Poços de Caldas, Minas
Gearais, Brazil, where he conducted his
"Imaginario" Symphonic Band Overture. These
are his words:
When I was a kid, family love and discord
on rainy Saturdays ended up in our neighborhood movies.
As the afternoon faded into early evening,
I settled myself in those sticky brownish chairs and dived
into the screen, sometimes to kill the bad guy of the moment,
sometimes to love the English-speaking girl of my dreams,
but always to become the hero again!
Playing with this kaleidoscope of images,
I have created IMAGINARY, like
a Fantastic Overture for Symphonic Band, where melodies
and their colors approach, almost, an instant of the world
and, awaiting for the next meeting, the kid in the story
plays homage to the movies.
