Eleonora Claps, soprano

MA/IN 2017 MATERA INTERMEDIA FESTIVAL
Ipogeo Auditorium Casa Cava, Matera (Italy)

Lament I, from the cycle of compositions About pain and other passions, inspired by a recording belonging to the sound collection of the first Lucan ethnographic expedition, made by Ernesto de Martino in 1952 on the traces of the ancient, Mediterranean and pre-Christian crying. The recording, made in Ferrandina – Matera province, is a funeral lamentation performed by a young peasant woman from the area who accepted to “interpret” it only after exhausting negotiations. The most disconcerting datum that this document gives us, in addition to the inexpressible and boundless love for her brother, is the tremendous beauty transpiring of pure modesty that every time stops the lament before it rises to complete song; thus the piece that constantly builds a phōnē, an intimate and suspended dialogue of osmotic fusion between the electronic and the soprano’s timbre. It is a continuous consummation and stretch at the most a genesis of sound when the tension of expectation is unexpectedly beaten and torn of inescapable.
