Signat l'amic del cor: a song cycle by Nicolás Gutierrez

Signat l’amic del Cor is a song cycle by Nico Gutiérrez for voice, piano, and audio samples. Comprised of five songs, Signat l’amic del Cor is sung entirely in Catalan and is a tribute to two of Catalonia’s most prominent and distinguished poets. Based on the texts by Carles Duarte and Màrius Sampere, this cycle explores themes of love, nature, and, most importantly, water in a contemporary, neo-impressionist soundscape. Written in 2019, the cycle was premiered by Patricia Caicedo and Nikos Stavlas at the 15th annual Barcelona Festival of Song at the Palau de la Música Catalana. The score is published and available on this site.
