L'Incubo is a short piece (roughly three minutes long) intended for a string quintet. L'Incubo, translating literally to The Nightmare, is in three parts mimicking the construct of a nightmare or night terror. The introduction hastily expresses the beginnings of a night terror through the minor runs in the first violin part, then developed into organized chaos with merging duple and triple meter in the first major section. The first major part fades into a lulling second 'movement', to where the strings terrace in harmonizing parts that increasingly become more minor and blurred as the nightmare comes back to the surface. The initial chaos from the first miniature movement repeats, then fades as the listener 'wakes up' from the nightmare. The piece is relatively easy to read pitch wise, but rhythmic accuracy is a must due to the eerie, combined duple and triple meter. L'Incubo would be well suited for intermediate or advanced musicians. .

English.

John Keats’s poetry is especially well-suited to music because of its rich imagery and clear formal structures. The music here was composed within an English musical aesthetic, appropriate for a text by an English poet. Much of the music, especially the double choir sections, were inspired by the English choral music in the Anglican tradition. In addition to antiphonal textures, this piece employs some complex polyphony, reminiscent of the Renaissance, with a rich harmonic palette full of clusters and cross-relations. The piece ends in a dreamlike state, where the grasshopper and cricket are blurred into the overall beauty of nature. May be performed jointly as Two Keats Choruses with The Human Seasons (8086).
