Dayron Ortega Guzmán, guitar; Maykel Elizarde Ruano, tres (Cuban guitar-like instrument, with 3 pairs of strings each tuned to the same pitch); Eduardo Silveira, percussion.
Arrangement for string quartet of closing duet from Claudio Monteverdi's circa 1643 opera, L'incoronazione di Poppea (The Coronation of Poppaea). As Poppea is bestowed the title of empress, she stares into Emperor Nero’s eyes, and they sing to each other, "I gaze at you, I possess you."
