Speakers and piano or orchestra - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q22787 12 Pieces from the Poem of Rainer Maria Rilke. Composed by Viktor Ullmann. This edition: vocal/piano score. Downloadable, Piano reduction. Duration 25 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q22787. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q22787). German.Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke obviously is the last work outlined by Viktor Ullmann in the concentration camp ofTheresienstadt. Other than with the two symphonies developing from the piano sonatas Nos. 5 and 7, Ullmann apparently thought of an orchestral melodrama first, it was only later that the note for recitant and orchestra or piano was added. This version of the work is known to be performed several times in Theresienstadt. Only the first piece had been orchestrated by Ullmann himself, but he had written down the essentials of the orchestration in the hardly decipherable manuscript in great detail. Ullmann chose 12 sections from the prose work by Rainer Maria Rilke, shortening the plot sensibly. Except for the elimination of some sentences which refer to the rose-petal episode and which are incomprehensible without the framework plot, the borrowed texts are unabridged. According to an instruction by Ullmann in the autograph, the text indicated above the staves is only roughly coincident with the music.3 (3. auch Picc.) · 2 · Engl.

Schott Music - Digital #Q18644. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q18644). German • French.German and French fragments by Rilke from the years 1911 to 1921 form the basis of the text of this composition. Reimann sees Rilke in affinity with Kafka. The tonal language is not lost in dreams, as is often the case in Rilke settings, but dramatic and confrontational, culminating in the percussive hammering of the piano at the text passage: 'with two faces on the two fists'.

SATB choir unaccompanied - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8355-E Composed by David Evan Thomas. 21st Century. 10 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8355-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8355-E). English.Forever Toward You was commissioned by Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, in honor of Claire Colliander. The text is a translation of a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926) from The Book of Monastic Life. Rilke’s poem speaks of a desire to encounter the Creator—the You in the title of this composition—and of the necessity for doing so through action, not thought alone. The tempo of the music alternates between those ideas of activity (Allegro energico, Buoyant) and reflection (Poco andante, Molto moderat), giving this three minute piece quite a bit of variety and interest. Duration: 3:00.

Girl's choir (SSMezAA) a cappella - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q20948 For girl's choir (SSMezAA) a cappella. Composed by Peter Eotvos. This edition: choral score. Schott Chamber Choir. Downloadable, choral score. Duration 6 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q20948. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q20948). German.This six-minute madrigal setting was commissioned by the renowned Hanover Girls' Choir and composed on the basis of one of Rainer Maria Rilke's profound poems. It begins as a thanksgiving prayer: for the summer, for the autumn fruits. But the first winds bring along the fear of the cold and loneliness of winter: 'Whoever is alone now will remain so for a long time, will stay up, read, write long letters…'. Peter Eötvös lets the poem unfold twice, each time in a different way, thus intensifying the reflection. The tonality is treated freely, and the choral setting extends the underlying five-part texture, in which the choir's soloists create striking echoes, up to eight-part passages.

Medium voice and piano - intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q46013 Composed by Max Kowalski. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Op. 2. Duration 28 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q46013. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q46013). German.Max Kowalski (1882–1956) was a full-time lawyer who never gave up on his passion for music: singing lessons during his law studies, conducting and counterpoint classes, among others, at Dr. Hoch’s Konservatorium in addition to his work at his own law office in Frankfurt. While studying, he already published his first works; 15 song cycles were published until 1933. In the years that followed, the Jewish-born Kowalski was restricted in working both as a lawyer and as a composer due to his persecution by the National Socialists. In 1938 he was arrested, deported to the concentration camp of Buchenwald and finally forced to flee into exile in London. Contemporaries called Kowalski a lyricist among the composers. The choice of texts of his songs shows his great knowledge and love of German literature. For example, he set to music texts by Friedrich Hölderlin or Rainer Maria Rilke, but also Indian or Japanese poems. Kowalski left numerous unpublished songs which are published by Schott Music in a two-volume edition: Volume 1 (ED 22586) contains his Jewish songs (1935-37), the Heinrich Heine cycle (1937) and all English-language songs (1941-46). Volume 2 (ED 22587) contains Kowalski's late works: the songs based on texts by Friedrich Hölderlin (1950) and the Geisha Lieder according to Klabund (1951).
