I was born in Barcelona in 1964, I am a scientist and I have been composing non-professionally for the last 20 years. My favourite composers are Bach, Bruckner and Sibelius. I compose mainly chamber works, using a combination of traditional and modern harmony. I regard as my principal work (by which i should be judged or, if necessary, damned) as my Symphony No. 1. Other pieces are my String Quartet No. 5, the single-movement Piano Quintet in A minor, and my Variations for String Quartet, which is a serial composition, and the String Quartets Nos. 2, 3 and 4.
I play the Renaissance lute, and a lot of what I play is from the Renaissance era, having a strong interest in ancient music, so I present here also a series of pieces for lute in which I try to combine a modern language with the possibilities and history of this instrument. My son Daniel Vives-Lynch is a professional composer and also has his original compositions in this website.
