Toshio Hosokawa (Composer) | Heinrich Heine (Text writer)

Die Lotosblume

Hommage à Robert Schumann
for mixed choir and percussion
Der Lotus gilt im Buddhismus als ein Symbol der Reinheit – nicht nur asiatische Dichter widmeten dieser Blume zahlreiche Verse, selbst Heinrich Heine sang dem Lotus ein nächtliches Liebeslied. Der Großvater von Toshio Hosokawa war Ikebana-Meister – vielleicht erklärt das die besondere Liebe des Komponisten zu Blumen und speziell zur Lotusblume. In seinem Werk Voyage VIII für gemischten Chor und Schlagzeug, das im Auftrag des Westdeutschen Rundfunks geschrieben wurde, lässt Hosokawa Heines Lotusblume im Mondlicht seiner Musik erblühen.

Description

Robert Schumann’s song Die Lotosblume taken from Heinrich Heine is one of Toshio Hosokawa’s most valued art songs. The dialogue between the lotus and the moonlight is a very emotional motif in Asian culture. Hosokawa explains: ‘In Buddhism, Buddha is sitting on a lotus flower as a symbol of the transcendental. The lotus sinks its roots into the muddy ground, grows through the water and opens up to the sky. In the moonlight, the closed bud is reminiscent of the hands of a man engrossed in his prayers.’
