简介

Geoffrey Gordon's Lorca Musica per cello solo, in a performance here by Dutch cellist Wouter Mijnders, is inspired by poet Federico Garcia Lorca, as well as the work from which it is drawn: his three act ballet, The House of Bernarda Alba, after the play of the same name. Although Lorca Musica is not intended as a direct derivation of the ballet--and does not in any way attempt to follow the dramatic thread of the play--it is nevertheless intrinsically linked with that work, both thematically and spiritually. The motifs of Alba, and of Lorca’s life--lust, longing, repression, shame, passion, desire and death--provide the framework and wellspring for this music. Thematic material--phrases, melodic fragments, harmonic and rhythmic cells--have been imported from the ballet. The opening bars recount the death of Adela which concluded both the play and the ballet. However, here it is designed to make a much broader statement. Other references--the Tango, the agitato and sereno themes--are similarly intended to expand on the Alba play, and comment more profoundly on Lorca’s life and death.
