Balazs Futo.
The
piece was written in
2003, commissioned by the
Budapest Spring Festival.
The process of the work
follows the line of the
composer-s personal
interpretation of the
original poem. In this
song the original dark,
grim ending appears as a
sort of cathartic
denouement. The theme is
love versus mortality.
The work is a kind of
wholly composed song
written in the 21st
century; its form derives
basically from the text.
The narrator begins the
story in Sprechgesang and
in the final lines of the
poem tries to sing in a
normal singing voice.
This acoustic line is
followed by the merging
of the sinus tones into
the clarinet parts. Thus,
basically, a peculiar
change of tone introduced
for dramatic purposes
constitutes the essence
of the song. First
performance: March
2003.
