Under the title Les Hores, Homs wrote three works that were different -in terms of the selection and grouping of poems and of different instrumentalisation- taking as a base the poetic cycle of the same name by Salvador Espriu. The one that concern us here, written in 1955, was the first of the three versions and is written for voice and an accompaniment of three wind instruments: flute, oboe and bass clarinet. Once faced with the score, the selection and use of instrumental colour, toghether of the demanding treatment of the voice part -in terms of register and nuance-, confrims the aura of desolation, bordering on “expressionism”, present in the work, which is none other than a reading of the implicit and proper sense of the words of the poet from the perspective of the musician.
