mezzo-soprano and chamber ensemble uses four poems by the Basque writer Bernardo Atxaga. The transcendental view of life envisaged in these poems, their brusque contrasts and shifts of perspective in their formal writing, together with the use of a language filled with symbolic references fit in adequately with my actual way of thinking about music. Therefore, the music neither ignores nor mutilates the chosen poems. On the contrary, their capricious shapes decisively determine the structure of the work I have created. Bizitza was composed with funds from the Basque Government. © Gabriel Erkoreka Reproduced by permission of Oxford University Press
