Babel
Kantate nach Moses I, 11, Vers 1-9
für Erzähler, zweistimmigen Männerchor und Orchester
Um den Anfang des Turmbaus zu beschreiben, verwendet Igor Strawinsky klar gegliederte Melodien in zarter Stimmführung und – wenn der Chor das Wort Gottes intoniert – blockhaft gesetzte Akkorde. Wird in der Folge aber von der Sprachverwirrung und der Zerstreuung der Völker berichtet, verkompliziert sich der Satz: Strawinsky verschiebt Akzente, vervielfältigt Melodien und erweitert die Harmonik. Die Musik berichtet vom Versagen der Sprache.

Description
In this work, Igor Stravinsky uses clearly structured melodies in delicate polyphony to describe the initial construction of the tower and block-like chords when the choir intones the words of God. The compositional structure becomes more complex in the subsequent depiction of linguistic confusion and the scattering of the peoples: Stravinsky shifts the accentuation, multiplies the melodies and extends the harmony. The music represents the breakdown of language.
