Product Details
Description
The choice of the poems and the order in which they are arranged reflect my own personal political perspective and emotional involvement, and it is this perspective and these feelings which give the collection its cohesion, rather than any narrative or musical structure. In some cases, I wanted to use highly developed post-serial structures and invest them with meaning; that is to say: to use abstract elements and force them to be vehicles for concrete expression. More direct formal materials include jazz, aleatoric writing and elements of music-theatre.
In other cases I tried to extend the Weill-Eisler-Dessau tradition in my own style. The listener will also, I hope, detect echoes and influences of various folk styles, as well as the tradition of the classical Lied.
The work was originally scored for 15 players. The number may be augmented, however, according to possibilities and necessities of the available forces. The players, who at various times have to hum, talk and sing, form an a capella chorus in No. 17.
- Hans Werner Henze
