El Río Zarapito

El hijo pródigo

Válido

The death of a child is arguably the worst that can happen for a parent. As a result of this reversal of the expected natural sequence, those affected ask themselves questions about the meaning of their own existence.

The normal cycle of parents or grandparents dying before children and grandchildren is broken. This contradicts our life planning, parents can hardly avoid such a situation.

In his two musical parables Curlew River and The Prodigal Son, Benjamin Britten illuminates the topic of loss, once from the point of view of a mother and the other time from that of a father who has apparently lost his son and finds him again.

Influences from Japanese Nô theater, medieval choral music, Balinese gamelan, English folk songs and the Christian liturgy can be found in both compositions. The grief over a deceased son on the one hand and the joy over a found one on the other. The Far Eastern style context becomes clear in the economical but very colorful orchestration. A theatrical ritual of the
present, with roots in the distant past. Benjamin Britten has poured the broadest range of influences into a unity, which in their severity and through the extremely driven formalism offer the opportunity to meditate on love, grief, loss, hope and faith. Two deeply human dramas that deal with fundamental themes of our existence.
