Concierto de Campanas en el Casco Histórico de la Ciudad
El sábado 11 de septiembre, durante 50 minutos, el Casco Histórico de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires volverá a convertirse, tal como en Diciembre de 2008, en un inmenso auditorio al aire libre, en el que la gente que recorra sus calles podrá disfrutar de un excepcional Concierto de Campanas, gracias a una iniciativa del Ministerio de Cultura del Gobierno porteño.
El notable musicólogo, instrumentista y compositor español Llorenc Barber dirigirá con su batuta los sonidos de 60 campanas distribuidas en 15 campanarios ubicados en 11 sedes.
El concierto también se trasmitirá en una pantalla de 5 por 4 metros ubicada frente a la Plaza de Mayo a 2,50 metros de altura.
Las 60 campanas serán ejecutadas a mano por 34 músicos campaneros, además participarán 7 directores de campanario, 1 director de fuegos, 1 director de sirena, 10 percusionistas y 7 campaneros asistentes y habrá invitados especiales como Gillespi que tendrá a cargo la sirena de la Casa de la Cultura , Leo García y Christian Basso de La Portuaria.
El cierre será en el Edificio Siemmens (Presidente Roca 516) con fuegos artificiales y un final con todas las campanas sonando al mismo tiempo.
Promediando el concierto sonará con un solo espectacular la vieja e histórica Sirena del ex diario La Prensa, que funcionó en lo que hoy es la Casa de La Cultura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, en avenida de Mayo 575.
La elección del lugar se realizó teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de campanas. De esta manera se invita a escuchar y caminar a la gente por el Casco Histórico sin autos y colectivos y recorrer los campanarios en silencio. Sonarán las antiguas y solemnes campanas de San Ignacio de Loyola (Bolívar y Alsina), la parroquia más antigua de la ciudad; las del convento San Francisco (Alsina y Defensa) y sus cinco campanas españolas de gran vigor sonoro; las del pequeño Carillón de la Casa de la Cultura (Avenida de Mayo 575) con sus claros agudos; la vieja campana del Cabildo (Bolívar 65), y las del convento de San Juan Bautista (Alsina 820) colocadas allí desde 1806 y traídas de Francia, donde además se apostará un grupo de percusión de metales.
También se podrá escuchar el espectacular sonido del Carillón más grande de América latina, ubicado en la terraza del cuarto piso de la Legislatura Porteña (Perú 160) con sus 30 campanas alemanas que se ejecutan desde un teclado; el Reloj de la Legislatura (Perú 160); la Parroquia San Roque (Bolívar y Defensa), el Palacio Municipal (Bolívar 1), la Basílica de Santo Domingo (Defensa y avenida Belgrano) y la Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel (Mitre y Suipacha), en cuya única torre tres antiguas campanas serán también acompañadas por percusión de metales.
A raíz de la importancia del acontecimiento, se cortará el tránsito vehicular desde las 15 horas en el radio comprendido por Leandro N. Alem, Paseo Colón, Belgrano, Lima, Cerrito y Corrientes (no se cortará el tránsito en las avenidas, sino en el interior del perímetro señalado).
El servicio de subterráneo funcionará normalmente, para que la gente pueda trasladarse. Además, habrá cuatro puestos de informes para que la gente consulte y pueda retirar folletería explicativa.
Estarán ubicados en la Casa de la Cultura (Avenida de Mayo 575), Diagonal Norte y 9 de Julio, Corrientes y Florida, y Defensa y Belgrano. Y habrá personas recorriendo la zona, entregando la información.
Los «Conciertos de Ciudades» son una obra invención de Barber (nacido en Aielo de Malferit, Valencia, en 1948), el primero de ellos data de 1988 y fue en pequeñas ciudades españolas donde el artista empezó a dar forma a este concepto.
Este tipo de evento ya se han realizado en mas de 200 ciudades en el mundo, algunas notables como Roma, Londres, Barcelona, Madrid, México, Salzburgo, Berlín, Lisboa, Venecia y Milán.
Este próximo concierto será el tercero en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. El anterior fue el 13 de Diciembre de 2008 y tuvo un éxito resonante, ya que asistió una multitud estimada en 125.000 personas.
El estreno del concierto de campanas en Buenos Aires se registró a fines de 1998, con un público que superó las 100.000 personas.
Un concierto de campanas se trata de una cantidad de campanas en un radio reducido, libre de tránsito, ejecutadas a mano por músicos campaneros (tañedores), que leen una partitura especialmente escrita por Barber. No se tocan melodías, por el contrario se trata de una obra de vanguardia musical que busca «colores» y «espacialidad» en la música, para una platea móvil (el público), que camina en silencio por las calles de su ciudad escuchando sutilezas, rebotes y grandes «truenos» de metal, producidos por estos fantásticos instrumentos, a su vez las bombas de estruendo y los fuegos artificiales cumplen la función de «percusión aérea» y también siguen una línea de partitura escrita por el director, la vieja Sirena del ex diario La Prensa se luce a mitad de concierto con un «solo» espectacular , y desde los campanarios también bajarán otros sonidos que bajo instrucciones de los «Directores de Campanarios» ejecutan los músicos, tales como pequeños metales y tubos soplados que producen enrarecidos armónicos en el aire.
Esa cantidad de campanas combinadas con fuegos, estruendos, sirenas y demás aditivos sonoros producen infinitas sensaciones en la gente, que además recorre libremente un espacio que le pertenece, libre de motores y sonidos urbanos, por una vez, durante 50 minutos.
Las campanas, a través de la historia, han sido la «voz oficial» de las ciudades, para alegrías y tristezas, duelos o casamientos, fiestas, fechas patrias y evento importante que se recuerde, y todos guardamos una «memoria» especial cuando ellas suenan.
En 1998, cuando tuvo lugar «Será Buenos Aires» (nombre de la obra) mucha gente se emocionó hasta las lágrimas cuando arremetió el final espectacular de los últimos 15 minutos, acompañado por fuegos, bombas y sirena.
Se trata de un evento extraordinario que combina vanguardia con sentir popular, emoción con riqueza teórica, se trata de escuchar a cielo abierto a las campanas de Buenos Aires.
