«Rèquiem a la memòria de Salvador Espriu» (Xavier Benguerel, 1989): hermenéutica y simbolismo musical en el referente poético de una misa de difuntos.

Xavier Benguerel's 'Rèquiem a la memòria de Salvador Espriu' (1989), premiered at Palau de la Música Catalana, integrates seven poems by Salvador Espriu into a Tridentine Mass structure, creating a unique funeral work that blends religious ritual with poetic symbolism. This study reveals how Benguerel's musical choices—such as meditative profane interruptions—enhance the dramatic intent of Espriu's poetry while maintaining liturgical coherence. The analysis employs hermeneutic methods to assess the alignment between text and music, demonstrating Benguerel's distinctive approach to constructing funeral symbolism in sacred-commemoration works.
