About the creation

In this short work an attempt is made to merge the musical narrative with a choreographic one.

The singer and players (not including the harpsichordist) are asked to make a movement trajectory on stage as represented graphically in the next page. The recorder player and the viola player have each one 5 positions -with a music stand and the complete parts of both ready for reading at each position-  dispersed around the harpsichordist. They have as well specific movement instructions in the score itself, where an arrow pointing at the appropriate time indicates to start moving to the next position.

The singer has the same indications in the score but her trajectory, as shown in the diagrams in the next page, is a different one. She holds her score at her hands, so there are not static pre-established positions – with music stands- .  While the instruments move in circular manner, the singer’s trajectory is generally intersectional and diagonal to the others.

At the end, the three performers join the harpsichord at the places shown in the diagram. The instrumentalists read the works’ ending from the harpsichordist’s score.
