Structure
One area in whichNarcís Bonet has made a significant contribution as composer is in his works which call for participation of the public. In his
Christmas Cantata he asks for the public to sing along in select moments, giving the work a transcendence and a greater power of expression.
In '
He mirat aquesta terra
' (
I looked upon this land),
Narcís Bonet creates a unique atmosphere through the extended arabesques of the flute, the intonation of the text by the voice and the repetitions of the phrase 'I looked upon this land' by the public. The piano or organ serves as accompaniment.
The poem, by the great Catalonian poet of the 20th century
Salvador Espriu, speaks of the deep connection with his land and culture that all Catalonians feel for their country. Therefore, the message of the poem is universal. The phrase 'I looked upon this land' is printed in the score in English so that the public can repeat the phrase easily.
The score comes with a IPA phonetic transcription. Please watch our web for an audio recording of the piece which can serve as a reference for the pronunciation.
