Composition History

The composition 'Más raíz, menos criatura' is part of a triad of works by Klaus Ospald, written between 2012 and 2016, titled 'Entlegene Felder' (Remote Fields).

Compositional Technique

In 'Más raíz, menos criatura', Ospald entrusts fragments of Miguel Hernández's poem to eight solo choral voices, which are woven into the orchestral texture rather than forming a compact ensemble.

Compositional Technique

In 'Más raíz, menos criatura', a compact group of instruments including an upright piano, two harps, celesta, and cimbalom, is tuned differently from the orchestra to create a unique tonal effect.

Composer Biography

The 'Quintett von den entlegenen Feldern' uses live electronics, which can expand an acoustic instrument's sound, space, and time by processing its audio signal in real-time through specialized music software.

Composer's Artistic Vision

For Klaus Ospald, musical content is more important than performance standards or genre conventions, and it determines the form and structure of his works.
