Description: A haunting, mysterious, lyrical work, Cantares de los perdis is a setting of three of Federico Garcia Lorca's poems, collected early in the 20th century among Andelusian gypsies. These are among Lorca's most desolate poems, the cri du coeur of an exile, a refugee, an outsider lost in a wilderness beyond rescue or comprehension, whether political, psychological or existential. The percussion two instruments (timpani and crotales , along with the tuba create an evocative soundscape.
