"Música para un Poema" journeys through the landscape described by Lorca in his work Poema de la Seguiriya Gitana - based on the hidden sounds of the words... and their silence.
It is music with its own individual personality, which carries with it Andalusian echos and reminiscences of the Renaissance, music of dialog with the text, music that once lets it rest and then highlights it or even dispels it altogether.
At the same time, the text's abstraction remains untouched: The resonating optical and acoustic stimuli, indeed the foreshadowing of a bitter, salty taste, do not become more concrete than the shape that a dark spirit in search of sounds would assume...
The Seguiriya (a style of flamenco) comes as well, with its consistently floating headless rhythm and its deadly breath.
Music and text with which silence is as valuable as the spoken word or the sound of the guitar.
Metamorphosis of that which once was but written text, quasi in communion with music without words.
