Gotica is a horror and adventure TV serial, set in the XIXth century, that intends to return to the classical themes and atmospheres from this literature and film genre and adapt them to the mentality and taste of today’s public.

This overproduction is actually the most ambitious project for both Gotica’s producers: Morena Films and Produce + that are in negotiations to make it see the light.

This page is the promotional trailer’s main theme. This symphonic and choral composition, composed and orchestrated by Navarro is an adaptation of his symphonic poem Medea.

This piece is a fantastic allegory based on a text by Ovidio (Metamorphosis, book n. 7), writer and poet from the first century b.c. The composer describes the fight between the moon’s influence (darkness and course) and the sun (light and life).

Medea, the main character, the absolute queen of darkness, is represented alternatively by the soprano soloist and the choir. As an absolute queen of the witches, she is willing to prove her powers through all the forces of nature acting together, invoking her dark gods. The sorceress says in the poem: “I dispel the clouds and gather them again, I make the water from rivers go back to its sources”, etc. At the end of the composition, Navarro inserted deliberately in the original text the word: Gótica, creating six emphatic sentences that translated from Latin mean:

Gótica cum luna Gótica cum astra Gótica cum magos Gótica cum avi Gótica cum venenis GÓTICA

Gótica con la luna Gótica con los astros Gótica con los magos Gótica con el ensalmo Gótica con el veneno GÓTICA

The piece is written for full orchestra and an 80 people mixed choir that together with the soloist make the spell. You would be needing around 150 musicians to play it correctly. This recording has a real choir while the orchestra is based on samplers.
