composition
Erotos III : for clarinet in B flat, cello and (optional) electronics / Nubim Soyoung Kim
Description:
In 2006 and 2009, I composed two pieces on the subject of the boundary between life and death. These pieces were titled ‘Erotos I’ and ‘Erotos II’. ‘Erotos III’ is the third composition of mine on that same subject, as well as a musical expression of the novel ‘The Stranger’ by Albert Camus (1942). The novel explores the theme of death and is divided into two parts.
The first part begins with the death of the protagonist’s mother, and ends with him murdering another character under an intense sun. The second part begins with the murder case in court, and ends with the sentencing of the protagonist to death. I composed this piece in two parts, the same as the novel. The first part has a slow pace and this part of the soundtrack is filled with eerie electronic sounds that signify the burning sun. The second part, beginning at bar 78, is fast-paced, as is the corresponding part in the novel, and the electronic sounds here demonstrate a persistent fear of death.
