Schott Music - Digital #Q6601. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6601). German • English.With the Eight Fragments Bertold Hummel has successfully created a most impressive work. Uncommonly concentrated in the evoking of atmosphere and reflecting the texts strongly, these dark grey songs - to quote Ludwig Hirsch - develop a sadly expressive, almost somnambulant charm. These songs seem to have become Bertold Hummel's completely inwardly turned Winterreise, the epigram of a psychosis, full of concealed suggestion and dark references, but always more full of hope. The sun becomes the constantly invoked bearer of hope. The music is highly expressive, exploiting the various performing and bowing possibilities of the stringed instruments and their capacity for nuances to the limits; occasionally oppressive visions in sound appear. It is music in danger, of a most fragile balance. Nor are subtle musical references missing. With only one note, following the word music, harmony and tonality are conjured up.

Schott Music - Digital #Q42375. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q42375). Latin.Bertold Hummel schrieb das vorliegende Ave Maria für seinen Sohn Martin, der dieses Stück auch in Begleitung des familiären Streichquartetts musizierte, wovon eine noch erhaltene Bratschenstimme zeugt. Die zweiteilige Komposition verbindet eine terzverwandt angelegte Dur-Moll-Tonalität mit modaler Harmonik. Prägendes Element der Begleitung ist eine absteigende, phrygische Tonleiter, die im Verlauf des Stückes die Richtung wechselt und auch Transformationen ins Dorische bzw. ins Moll erfährt. Der zweite Teil („Sancta Maria...) greift die Musik des Anfangs wieder auf und führt zu neuen Kombinationen des musikalischen Materials. (Christoph Weinhart 2015).
