| Publisher Description: "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 Vac as/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.
