Wahrend der vielen Corona-bedingten Lockdowns seit Fruhjahr 2020 habe ich mich, warum auch immer, tief in die vielgestaltige wie aufregende amerikanische Lyrik des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts verloren - auch, aber nicht nur auf der Suche nach spannenden, vertonbaren Texten.Bei William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) schliesslich, der trotz seiner eminenten Bedeutung gar nicht so viel vertont wurde, hat mein Suchradar schliesslich angeschlagen.Fernab der protzerischen Bildungsburgerei eines T.S. Eliot, Lichtjahre entfernt von der gefahrlichen Faschismus-Nahe eines Ezra Pound, gehort WCW, wie er gerne liebevoll genannt wird, mit Elizabeth Bishop und Robert Lowell wohl zu den Fixsternen der amerikanischen Moderne. Diese feine, reduzierte, vermeintlich unscheinbar-verspielte, auf den zweiten Blick aber so subversive und messerscharf-bedeutungsreiche Lyrik hat mich seitdem vollends in ihren Bann gezogen.Auf Gedichten aus drei Banden basierend, ,,Sour Grapes(1921), ,,An Early Martyr and Other Poems (1935) und ,,The Wedge (1944), habe ich schliesslich einen sechs Orchesterlieder umfassenden Zyklus komponiert. Mit diesem wollte ich WCWs Gedichte nicht etwa verdoppeln oder nachzeichnen, sondern ganz bewusst meine personliche Sicht auf diese fragilen Meisterwerke werfen. Dieses Auftragswerk der Wiener Symphoniker und des Wiener Konzerthauses wurde vom fein modellierten Klang und Facettenreichtum dieses wunderbaren Orchesters inspiriert. Es ist meinen Eltern gewidmet.

Haydn's Missa Sancti Joannis Nepomuceni, dated 21 May 1772, is dedicated to the Bohemian martyr and patron Saint of bridges, Johannes Nepomuk (ca. 1340-1393, canonized in 1729). Despite the addition of woodwinds and brass to the three-part string section, the Mass is in a comparatively simple, compact form as was expressly required by Count Hieronymus Colloredo, Haydn's second employer in Salzburg. Even in the final sections of the Gloria and Credo Haydn forgoes not only vocal virtuosity, but also the polyphonic artifices which traditionally characterize these passages in the Mass. Like the Missa Sancti Amandi (1776), the Nepomuk Mass does not employ vocal soloists.

Mixed choir (SSSAAATTTBBB) - difficult SKU: HL.49043945 For mixed choir. Composed by Steve Martland. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Choral. Softcover. Composed 2011-2012. 106 pages. Duration 23'. Schott Music #ED13369. Published by Schott Music (HL.49043945). ISBN 9790220133503. 8.25x12.0x0.3 inches. English. Sea Songs, commissioned jointly by Ars Nova Copenhagen and Glasgow Concert Halls, is a kind of sequel to Martland's Street Songs (originally written for the Kings Singers and Evelyn Glennie). As with the earlier piece, Martland made use of to the library of the English Folk Song and Dance Society at Cecil Sharp House in north London.I wanted specifically to find texts that were not just the usual nautical heave-ho sort of thing, but instead explored the dangers and hardships still being experienced by sailors as recently as the early 19th century. I was also very happy to see in these texts the sense of camaraderie and mutual support that existed between the sailors. (Steve Martland)Dance to your Daddy sets the scene of a sailor's wife at home, dandling her baby son and singing to him about his daddy away fishing, and about the future. Both the tune and the words come from the Northumberland area around Newcastle. This song is very well known in the UK and gave the title to a famous television series When the boat comes in.Fire Down Below is about the effects of fire - a constant danger on board wooden ships. At the end of this song the words take on an extended meaning: Fire in our hearts for the friends that we love.The Dead Horse is about the initial month of work without pay in which all seamen had to take part. They referred to it as the dead horse - hence the expression to flog a dead horse when something is a waste of time. The seamen resented this unpaid time, and the text expresses their frustrations metaphorically by listing what they would do to the horse! The music's frantic gallop alludes to the horse's desperation.Although The Sea Martyrs presents itself as a ballad, this text has a more literary feel, and unlike the other songs it doesn't include a chorus refrain. It concerns the sailors' lack of pay, the consequences of asking for pay (being hanged!), and the poverty of their families at home. The poem portrays the sailors' deaths as an almost religious sacrifice to help future seamen.At the end of the work, the opening of Dance to your Daddy returns as a kind of descant, sung by an angel calling to the hanged men.
