Description

Edward Bond hat für das Programmheft der Stuttgarter Uraufführung des Tanzdramas Orpheus am 17. März 1979 anstelle eines Essays eine Anzahl von Gedichten geschrieben, die als Marginalien zu seinem visionären Ballett-Libretto zu verstehen sind. Für den Chorzyklus hat er noch einige weitere Gedichte hinzugefügt. Ich habe aus beiden Materialien eine Auswahl getroffen und sie im Sommer 1983 während eines langen Lehraufenthaltes in Tanglewood, Mass., in Musik gesetzt, mit Ausnahme von zwei Sätzen, die schon existierten, und von denen 'Epitaph' 1982 in Kindberg, Steiermark, als Teil eines Requiems für den Arbeiterdichter Walter Buchebner durch den ORF-Chor uraufgeführt wurde, während das andere 'Pressed by the weight of...' durch den Chor der Musikhochschule Köln als Zeil einer von AIDA organisierten Solidaritätskundgebung für die argentinischen desaparecidos aufgeführt wurde.
- Hans Werner Henze
