About the Book

"The Dark Side", monodrama for mezzosoprano or baritone and piano is an early work of Llorca. It was premiered by Nancy Fabiola Herrera and the composer at the piano on October 4th, 1995 at Lincoln Center in New York City. In "The Dark Side" Llorca experiences for the first time with the voice, which alternates systematically between spoken and sung, a resource that will be a constant in his later opera "Las Horas Vacías/The Empty Hours". "The Dark Side", with a duration of twelve minutes, is divided into six parts: Recitative, Prayer, Recitative, Monologue, Recitative, and "Thread". The text, written by the composer himself, is an argument against fanaticism with certain touches of humor most pronounced in the recited parts Other performances: Concierto: Paul Recital Hall (The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center, Nueva York) Mezzosoprano: Cheryl Marshall.

About the Author: Ricardo Llorca is one of the most promising talents to emerge from the new generation of contemporary Spanish-American composers. Llorca was born in 1962 in Alicante, a city located in the southeastern coastal region of Spain that has been the birthplace of many great musicians -Oscar Esplá, Ruperto Chapi, José Iturbi, López Chavarri, Martín y Soler, Joaquín Rodrigo, Tarrega, etc. He later moved to Madrid, where he studied at that city's Royal Conservatory under Román Alis and attended the most theoretically advanced courses at the Festival de Granada with Luigi Nono, Carmelo Bernaola, and Luis de Pablo. After graduating in 1988, Llorca traveled to New York in order to continue his studies at the Juilliard School, where he has worked with composers David Diamond and John Corigliano. Upon completing his studies, Llorca assumed a faculty position at Juilliard, and continues to teach there today. Llorca combines his teaching responsibilities at Juilliard with his work as a composer, which has garnered him the Richard Rogers Scholarship (1992), the Virgen de la Almudena Award (1999), and the John Simon Guggenheim Award (2001). Ricardo Llorca is the composer-in-residence for the New York Opera Society and the New York-based dance company "Sensedance". Llorca is currently teaching at The Juillliard School and at The Queen Sofía Spanish Institute in New York City. Llorca is a grant recipient of "The Argosy Foundation" and "Met-Life/Meet the Composer 2008".
