Náufragos, I 02:11
lyrics
Senhor sou eu este infante ou corsário louco que vos tenta a fala trazendo nas mãos as páginas inda úmidas doutras cartas rasguei todos os mares depois de navegar por mapas náufrago de palavras nunca dantes navegadas Senhor vos digo mais não existe mar além do búzio que tendes no peitoo e no cais nos espera a mais antiga das caravelas (nosso barco de papel)

Náufragos, II 07:22
lyrics
naveguei Senhor naveguei e navegando aprendi do mar o balé de suas águas naveguei Senhor naveguei e navegando aprendi do mar que o mar todo o mar é um naufrágio naveguei Senhor naveguei

Náufragos, III 08:43
lyrics
o mar Senhor é de águas muitas e infindo mas toda superfície é longe e longe do mar de dentro aos olhos dos faróis toda distância azul é finita e finda o mar sem que bebamo ‚s das distantes águas que no coração fazem dilúvio e sede Senhor longe somos nós quando velejamos sonhos (o vôo da gaivota nos é pouso e o mar se faz bebedouro de nossos pássaros)

Náufragos, IV 03:34
lyrics
Senhor me procuro desde o ventre desde o gênesis eu me procuro e toda busca é perda vaidade aflição do barco Senhor arregaçai vossa alma para a travessia que não navegar é encalhar-se no corpo eternamente entre Ítaca e Canaã a esperar por Moisés com a tábua das marés ao mar Senhor ao mar ao mar ao mar em terra todos seremos o mesmo fim

Náufragos, V 04:41
lyrics
sonhos sonhos Valladolid e Canaã eu me procuro por mapas eu me procuro todos os mares náufrago terras terra terras terra terras terra mar? cais pelo lodo do cais cais pelo lodo do cais cais pelo lodo do cais eu me procuro por mapas eu me procuro todos os mares eu me procuro náufrago

about

'Náufragos' is a 35 mn-long electroacoustic work in six parts, composed around 2000. It is based on the cycle 'Diante d’El Rey' by the Brazilian poet Lúcio Lins, and on Debussy’s symphonic poem 'La Mer'. A small detail of the 1st movement, once multiplicated, digitally processed and transformed, gives almost all the sonic and structural elements of this work. Fragments of the poem read by Lúcio Lins himself, and excerpts of ritual music in parts II & III and sea’s phonographies, complete the material.

The stage music for 'Noite Escura' — a play written and directed by Paulo Vieira in 1998, about Teresa d’Avila — enlighten her erotic contact with the Angel. In Noite escura II, Josquin Desprez’ 'Qui habitat' is processed in such a way the sound of the choir is progressively dissolved in an electronic aura, thus symbolizing the mystic ascension of Teresa close to God. In contrast, the stern dramaticism of the Spanish composer Cristobal de Morales, whose a Capella 'Piu Jesu Domine' I left practically untouched, just arranged for a virtual choir dominated by low winds (Noite escura V), may be seen as a metaphor of the secular and religious oppression endured by Teresa.

'Passio', written in 2004, enters into the obsessive obscurity of the opening sonority of Bach's 'St. John's Passion'. There is also a version for contrabass saxophone and tape, written and dedicated to Daniel Kientzy & Reina Portuondo.

This CD is a project who was supposed to have been granted and released by UFPB (Federal University of Paraíba) in 2005, in commemoration of its 50 years' jubilee, while poet Lúcio Lins was yet living.
