na plangência lives between two literary excerpts that are connected mainly by the word “muffled.” The initial text, recited by the performer, was written by Cruz e Sousa, renowned for his symbolist poems. Through a dreamlike atmosphere, the music springs from this reverie, laden with chimerical aromas that are translated by the consonant harmonies of the electronics, to which the clarinet gives shape and relief, counterpointed by the friction caused by the muffled sounds . In the middle of the work, a quatrain by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow serves as a motto for the polyphony of heartbeats that will culminate in a grand finale in which the clarinetist becomes the protagonist.
