For Beat Furrer, the poet Dino Campana (1885–1932) is “probably the only one of the Italian writers of his time who was capable of bringing to life the new futuristic ideas with a great poetic power and a strong association with the Italian and French literature of the past.†Campana’s highly poetic images taking in the night-time view of the skies, for instance, or a town in which the people seem to wander around like lost souls, become a fantasy on endlessness, an unforgettable musical impressions in Furrer’s songs.

Using four well-known poems by Else Lasker-Schüler as basis of a vocal work does not mean “setting to music†in the customary sense to the composer Lothar Voigtländer from Dresden: The colourful figure of the poetess, her unusual imageries, her (even religious) visions, as well as her close relation with renowned fine artists of her time had been on his mind for quite some time and in 2009 found their way into this composition: The dramatic, irregularly declaiming singing voice is harmonised with mystic, exotic piano farlands and the sounds of bells. At the composition competition of the Viennese Mahler Society in 2010, the songs were awarded the 1st prize.

Text: Old Testament.
Mezzo-soprano, Piano Duration: 5' Text: Old Testament Composed: 1983 Published by: Subito Music Publishing The aria's biblical text, which deals with the Jews' exile into Babylonia, was set in a straight forward, atmospheric, syllabic manner. Its stark piano accompaniment and long-breathed, darkly eloquent melodic line (adapted from fragments by the Renaissance madrigalist Carlo Gesualdo) proved extremely apposite. --The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Rota wurde vor allem als Filmkomponist beruhmt, hat sich aber immer wieder der Vokalmusik gewidmet. Diese Werke mit haufig geistlichen Texten sind leicht auffuhrbar, harmonisch einem sakralen, spatromantischen Stil verpflichtet und unmittelbar eingangig.
