Beschreibung
Goyas Dog is a 14-minute, four-movement work, in each movement the composer responds to one of Francisco Goyas prints and paintings of animals. In movement 1 (The Dream of Reason and the Imagination: owls, bats, a cat and a lynx), Goya is asleep with his head on a table, around him is a cloud of owls and bats. Movement 2 is The Duchess of Albas lapdog: one small white Bolognese, the dog looks folorn, surly even, while the Duchess is taking a proud flamenco pose. Movement 3 Goyas Dog: the head of a dog, describes the dogs mournful and desperate expression, as it rises above what could be quicksand, or a wave. In movement 4 (A Bull Stands his Ground: a fighting bull), a bull stares, unfazed, at the four men who threaten him with spears: two fighters are already dead at his feet.
