IGOA, Enrique: Munch-Light, for String Orchestra, 1999 (Excerpt) by Enrique Igoa published on 2017-01-31T09:08:31Z Munch-Light is, evidently, a word game with Moonlight, because this work tries basically to catch the wonderful light of two paintings of Edvard Munch, besides the musical interpretation of them. "The Scream". It was difficult to hear it. It was a lonely, inner and muffled cry, coming from a single man. The anguish of this man was gradually increasing, and it became a collective and general anguish: the whole mankind joined him in a sole SCREAM. But it was just a mirage, and soon finds the man alone with himself, with his cry and his solitude. It remains only the chill of nothingness. "The Dance of Life". In the middle of the night, through the noise of wind and the shake of the waves in the sea, it approaches a distant sound, like a waltz from which we hear just a few disjointed fragments coming back and forth among the noises. It is the DANCE OF LIFE, that sometimes appears for us, but in most cases remains hidden to our senses, dull by materialistic desires. Genre Classical
