"Canciones" is based on the idea of singing instead of song, melos instead of melody. Even though the act of singing is constant in the piece, the songs themselves never happen to be defined: singers and wind instruments sing without a song.
The melodies in this context are invisible threads that flow like the reminiscence of a song. I’ve composed the memory of something that never existed.
