Schöpfungsmesse. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Within approximately six weeks Haydn, in 1801, composed his 'Creation Mass' as the fifth of altogether six late missae solemnes commissioned by his employer, Prince Nikolaus II. Esterházy. The sobriquet 'Creation Mass' is not authentic, but it is probably based on the quotation in the Gloria taken from the oratorio 'Die Schöpfung'. / Messe / Répertoire / So…

Kommt, Eilet Und Laufet. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Critical new edition 2004, edited by Ulrich Leisinger: Carus 31. 249; old edition, edited by Dieter Hellmann: Carus 31. 249/50. Parody of the secula cantata 'Entfliehet, verschwindet, entweichet, ihr Sorgen' BWV 249a. Like the Ascension Oratorio BWV 11, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Easter Oratorio BWV 249 is entirely and unjustly overshadowed by his t…

Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Mahler’s Ninth sings of beauty, love and impermanence “World! Farewell!” noted Mahler above the final measures. His last completed symphony embraces the world of yesterday, while pushing the door wide open to the modern age. The composition, created in a “mad urgency and haste,” had already posed puzzles for his copyists. While Mahler was able to clarify some of them already in …

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Of all his early chamber works, the Nocturne is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams, almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908. In the veiled beauty of its highly chromatic harmonies we hear already the tone-poet of the slow movement of A London Symphony , while in the fleet-footed Scherzo there is alr…

Make the silence talk'La Muette knew how to make the silence talk like no one', writes Djavann in his book (La Muette, © Flammarion 2008). Those words deeply touched me for they express one of the most beautiful metaphors in music. Through the lines of discourse, beyond words, I was listening to the silence of 'La Muette'. A rare and intense listening which joins the same internal listening I use …

Op. 89. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. The Three Fates or Parcae were the goddesses of fate in Greek-Roman mythology and sang on themes of curse and fate. The Parzenlied in Goethe’s verse drama “Iphigenie auf Tauris” is concerned with these themes and became the model for Johannes Brahms’s setting. His Gesang der Parzen (Song of the Fates) op. 89 describes in thrilling eruptive sounds the fight to overcome …
