With
the Petrarch settings, I
am continuing my
preoccupation with
classical Italian
literature, after setting
Michelangelo in 2011 and
Ariosto in 2013. The
gesture and harmony of
the piece are developed
entirely from the text
and from the sensations
that are expressed there.
Petrarch's poetry is an
exploration of beauty and
pain that begins again
and again: beauty that
lies in pain and pain
that is causedby beauty.
Anno Schreier.
