aus Sieben frühe Lieder. Par BERG ALBAN. From Sieben Frühe Lieder, the choral transcription of Im Zimmer provides a fascinating glimpse at the compositional bent of a young Alban Berg, decried by his mentor Arnold Schönberg as “too vocal.” While Schönberg may have succeeded in re-training his pupil, the Seven Early Songs still live one hundred years later to please our modern ears./ Répertoire / Double Chœur Mixte SATB

Comparable à Alban Berg dont ' sept premières chansons ' show à travers dans la musique, Heinz Holliger a choisi quelques chansons de jeunesse vraiment enthousiaste, créé dans les arrangements faciles et leur marque pour orchestre. Hormis utilisé comme réduction pour piano, la signification originelle de cette édition demeure évidente : un autre morceau dans la grande tradition de l'allemand a menti pour voix et piano. / Soprano Et Piano

Par SCHWEITZER BENJAMIN. An Zimmern was initially planned to be part of a cycle of Hölderlin settings. Hölderlin’s late lyrics offer a certain riveness between equation, lunatic bursts and a dissociated smoothness. This ‘riveness’ can be found in the work’s concentrated character, which combines fragile colours of piano and flute, an eruptive climax and exactly organized lines and motives. During the thorough revision of the score, 17 years after the composition of the primary version, I tried to preserve the character of the piece with its strong influences from Alban Berg’s expressionistic style, but to accentuate the musical ideas of the work more exactly and subtly at the same time.

LULLABY from The Unicorns (1967/82/86) 'The Lullaby from ‘The Unicorns’ arose from an opera libretto I commissioned from John Heath-Stubbs (1918-2006) in the late 1960s. In his story two unicorns are discovered in a remote part of Africa. Both the East and West want to obtain them for research so they send out rival expeditions. The Western technique is to lure the unicorn with a young girl singing a lullaby. Both East and West capture unicorns but the mythical animals escape in the end. I never completed the opera but I made a six movement suite from it called The Unicorns. There arethree songs and three instrumental numbers and the first performance was given with Elisabeth Söderström and Solna Brass under Lars-Gunnar Björklund at Ekensbergskyrkan Solna Sweden on 31 October 1982. This version was recorded (Albany TROY 760) and my arrangement of the three songs for voice and piano was recorded by Marilyn Hill Smith (Albany TROY365). The career of the Lullaby continued with a version for clarinet and piano which I premiered with Jack Brymer aboard the Sea Princess in the Mediterranean on 29 September 1986. The oboe version was for Sarah Francis and Duke Dobing and I have recorded it for flute and piano (Naxos 8.572287). Lullaby can be played with a variety of solo instruments and is also available for piano left hand and piano solo which I have recorded.' - Peter Dickinson
