Forest Creatures by Caterina Schembri - Tonnta: "An Evening Song" @ New Music Dublin 2022

Presented by Ergodos in the atmospheric setting of the Chapel Royal in Dublin Castle during New Music Dublin 2022, "An Evening Song", was a meditation on memory, loss, and what we leave behind. The past and the present fused and new contemplative spaces opened up. Caterina Schembri Forest Creatures [2022, world premiere, commissioned for Tonnta by Ergodos and New Music Dublin] The piece emerged as an act of remembrance, a deep look back into my childhood largely spent in a house submerged in the woods of the high mountains in the outskirts of the city of Bogotá. This small geographical space that, for many years, represented an entire universe, is somehow a sanctuary to me. The text draws from symbols that are taken straight out of my personal landscape, that were for many years familiar to my eyes, or that draw from a particular memory of mine. I wanted to take these moments and images that inhabit my mind and give them colour, movement, space and time. The text is as follows: In the green tender morning light A potted orchid sits framed in the corner Irretrievable! I am five My childhood looks back at me With two pairs of blue eyes I can fit in the corner I can fit in a white canvas I can fit in the sylvan wood deck day and night Three plus two... Five And the city lies wide underneath my feet While three swallows take off and fly Gently lifted by the hands Of blooming yellow senna flowers.
