La polilla de Madrid est une composition pour orchestre de chambre qui est basé sur une traduction directe vers la musique d'un texte littéraire, la courte pièce de théâtre du même nom de Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645). En me servant de plusieurs techniques de traduction, j'ai créé une version auditive de cette pièce ; un opéra de chambre sans paroles qui retient la structure dialogique de l'original, tout en transfigurant les personnages et scénarios dans un plan sonore. Au fur et à mesure que la pièce évolue, l'ensemble — composée d'une flûte, hautbois, clarinette en si bémol, saxophone baryton en mi bémol, violoncelle, percussion, guitare et piano — se divise en différents sous-groupes afin de représenter des personnages spécifiques, chacun possédant ses propres qualités harmoniques et rythmiques. Une fois mis en relation par la structure du dialogue, la succession des divers complexes sonores constitue une sorte de dramaturgie de timbres qui s'aligne sur l'intrigue du texte et qui détermine la forme de la composition.
La polilla de Madrid is a composition for chamber ensemble that is based upon a direct translation from text to music of the homonymous short play by Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645). Using several translation techniques, I have produced an aural version of this play, a wordless chamber opera retaining the dialogic structure of the original, while transfiguring its characters and situations into the sonic plane. As the piece develops, the ensemble – comprised of flute, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, baritone saxophone in E-flat, cello, percussion, guitar, and piano – divides itself into various sub-groupings to portray specific characters, each possessing his/her very own harmonic and rhythmic qualities. When put into relationship by the structure of the dialogue, the succession of diverse sonic complexes make up a sort of timbral dramaturgy, following the plot which determines the form of the composition.
