Resum

Basat en un poema escrit per Josep Carner, Robert Gerhard va compondre el 1932 L’alta naixença del rei En Jaume. Titulada pel mateix Gerhard com a cantata, l’obra és per a soprano, baríton, cor i orquestra i narra la història de com Pere II d’Aragó, enganyat, va concebre el seu fill, Jaume I el Conqueridor. Aquest article se centra en el terme cantata i per què l’obra de Gerhard pot (o no?) ser designada amb aquest nom. Al llarg de la història, les expressions cantata i oratori so-vint han estat utilitzades com a sinònims, tot i que no són exactament el mateix.Els compositors del segle xx no van ser gaire estrictes en l’ús del terme exacte per identificar les seves obres, i moltes cantates del moment eren, de fet, oratoris. L’anàlisi del text i de com el poema ha estat posat en música han de mostrar fins a quin punt el terme cantata és apropiat a la composició de Gerhard.
