Heinrich Poos (born 1928) is one of the great German composers of choral music of our time. In his 'Orpheus' cycle, Poos takes up the ancient myth of the singer and poet Orpheus who is a symbol of the power of music. The three-part work is based on texts from classical antiquity, the Middle Ages and the present time which are all dealing with the issue of 'music', texts by Plato, Virgil, Ovid, Shakespeare, Edward Bond. In addition to a powerful choir, the 40-minute work requires a narrator and a differentiated instrumental ensemble.
