Programme Note

This work was formulated around the poem ‘Milonga de dos hermanos’ by Argentinan poet Jorge Luis Borges. The poem is a modern revisitation of the Cain and Abel story, wherein the Iberra brothers in the Costa Brava, a pair of prize knife-fighters (cuchilleros) finish in a murderous spat of fratricide. The opening line: Traiga cuentos la guitarra translates as, The guitar tells us tales; in this is a clear moment of truth about music and its storytelling function.

All music has something to tell us, if we want to listen to it.
