Recording of Lorenzo Ferrero's Fawn. "Fawn" has a number of very contradictory meanings in English; perhaps this is why it is a good title for a work on love that uses two extracts from Sappho as its text. The letters of this word are even the initials of a dedication that has meaning only for the author. It creates a relationship (Aristotelian?) between an esoteric (for oneself) and esoteric (for the public) that reproduces even romantic attitudes. This work can be performed live without any manipulation of the voice and is written as a normal score. The vocal part uses as a base the ancient eglian-chromatic medium and almost always respects Greek metrics and intonation.

In the epic, Gilgamesh is part god, part man, who is responsible for the building of the first walled city, Uruk, and other feats of technology. He has become close friends with Enkidu, a "wild man" reared by animals but then tamed and civilized to become Gilgamesh's heroic companion. However, Gilgamesh taunts the gods who declare that one of them must die, and here the story of the musical work begins, with the death of Enkidu. Gilgamesh reacts with anger, nostalgia for the glorious past, a prayer to the gods, and finally he commands them as King to reverse the death, all to no avail. At the end of the first half of the work, a supernatural "God voice" heard through the loudspeakers challenges Gilgamesh to come on a journey of quest for the secret of immortality. The second half begins with a tone poem (tape 7) called The Journey to …
