SARA Variations 20 16
viola + prepared piano
This work is composed for viola and prepared piano and is based on a poem written in four verses. In each of the verses each of the letters that make up the name SARA is highlighted. In addition, these verses can be arranged in different ways, thus creating different variations. The musical work is also divided into four parts. These parts are interchangeable, making up a total of 16 combinations/variations that complete the entire work. Likewise, the letters that make up the name SARA are highlighted, giving each of them a sound: S (B), A (Ab), R (D) and A (A). These four sounds form the harmonic and melodic base that completes the work. In addition, these four sounds are indicated based on two techniques for each instrument; on the one hand, the viola is tuned in scordatura in B, Ab, D and A; and the piano, with four clamps placed on its drones, will mark the same sounds.
Premiered on January 13, 2017 at the Teatro A Fundación in Vigo by Ensemble 430
