Bascantado, lusingando

The intention of this cycle of works is to familiarize the young musician with issues that are common in today's scores. From the time of their youth, they should acquire a taste for experimentation and this spirit of sonic adventure should be preserved when they study scores from the traditional repertoire.

Thus, in the first piece, JOYPEGGIOS, the singer will face the challenge of conducting large musical ideas interrupted by audible breaths.

In the second part, TEGEROHAGIA, slow glissandi, the use of both speaking and singing will challenge the musician to find the right solutions.

Part III, CON-FUSIONE, CON MOTO, the playful use of "wrong" note names, is completed with theatrical elements.

In Part IV, HARMOMYTHS, the use of diphonic singing becomes the central element.

Laughter together with a modified quote from Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff will be the spice of the last part, LAUGH & FALSTAFF.

Bascantado, lusingando is revised by Nicholas Isherwood, described by George Crumb as „one of the finest baritones of the international scenes”.
