LAS HORAS VACIAS (Opera/Monodrama para actriz/soprano, piano, coro y orquesta de cuerdas) Texto y música: Ricardo Llorca "Las Horas Vacías", una ópera para soprano, coro, piano y orquesta de cámara, es un ensayo sobre una mujer solitaria, adicta al Internet y que vive encerrada en su propio mundo de fantasía. "Las Horas Vacías" es un intento de explorar uno de los procesos psicologicos mas comunes y mas dolorosos que el ser humano puede experimentar: la soledad; la confusion entre el mundo real y el imaginario y la creciente sensacion de vacio en la que se ve inmersa la opulenta sociedad actual. "Las Horas Vacías" es el resultado de mi interés en yuxtaponer y combinar técnicas tradicionales con elementos de música contemporánea. Las fuentes de inspiracion tematica y estructural para este trabajo han sido ciertos motivos de la música del Renacimiento y ciertos elementos de la polifonia tradicional Española, combinados con un lenguaje mas contemporáneo. A partir de estas ideas, he creado células melódicas y combinaciones polirítmicas dentro de una estructura estable y con armonías de caracter bitonal sobre una base neo-tradicional. La partitura es compleja como cabe esperar en una ópera contemporánea, pero no indescifrable. Similarmente, las posibilidades tímbricas de la soprano son aprovechadas al máximo, apoyándose en algunos casos en la orquestación, y oponiéndose a ella en otros, pero siempre dentro de los límites de la escritura convencional para cada instrumento. "Las Horas Vacías" adquiere de esta manera un carácter dual, tradicional y contemporáneo a la misma vez, y manteniendo una narrativa coherente elaborada sobre una base armónica y melódica que podríamos calificar de no-atonal.

Coro de Camara o Sinfonico ) Piano solista Orquesta de Cuerdas ( Orquesta de Camara o Sinfonica.
