The composition, with an approximate duration of one hour, is considered unique in contemporary music for piano and electronics, especially in its reinterpretation of Spanish Renaissance choral music.
Composition History
The work reinterprets Spanish Renaissance choral music, drawing on pieces of a funereal nature, mostly "Versa est in luctum," from composers like Tomás Luis de Victoria and Francisco Guerrero.
Album & Artwork
The album's title, "Resonare Fibris," can be interpreted as 'Fibres of resonance' or 'Fibres of echo,' or even 'exalt to the top of one's lungs' from a Latin hymn.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The project "Resonare Fibris" by Sergio Blardony aims to confront different time periods, specifically the Spanish Renaissance and the present, through music and poetry.
Compositional Technique
The composition features a dialectic between free and metrical structures: pieces directly referencing Renaissance works are without meter, while those titled "Resonare fibris I, II," etc., have exact measures.
Compositional Technique
The work combines piano and electronics, with the electronics conceived as a spatial extension of the instrument, creating a 'meta-instrument' or 'contemporary organ'.
Notable Performances
RESONARE FIBRIS premiered on November 7, 2020, at the XXVIII Jornadas de Música Contemporánea de Segovia/CNDM, performed by pianist Mario Prisuelos.
