This orchestral work is based in the latin palindromic sentence: "In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni". Its title means "Torch" in Galician language and it's an interpretation of the previous latin sentence.
It uses harmonies coming from the planetarium systems Kepler-11 and Kepler-186, which also appears horizontally and not only vertically. Its form respond to the palindromic nature of the latin sentence and the slowly elimination of its principal motifs to the end. Also, this piece present some textures on the woodwind and string sections that recreate the character of the torch.

This record is a mixture from the live recording of its premiere night and its second performance by the CSMB orchestra in Badajoz (Extremadura, Spain) (23rd of January, 2025) and Villanueva de la Serena (Extremadura, Spain) (24th of January, 2025).
It was conducted by Juan Pablo Valencia.
