Saturno (1997, clarinet & cello)
was inspired by Spanish painter Francisco de Goya’s painting
of the same name, from his series of ‘Black Paintings’
completed towards the end of his life. The piece is a personal reaction
to the horror of its subject matter and intensity of emotion. In
Erkoreka’s own words:
“[Saturno] makes a dramatic use of extremes
of register and dynamics, hoping to get into the psychology of Saturn
and to reflect the equally extreme situation of a man who, according
to mythology, is devouring his own son, fearful of being usurped.”
