The work of Mira Lobe has accompanied me since childhood, and especially since I began my career as a composer. When looking for suitable song texts, I quickly find what I need in her work. The song cycle Lob(e)lieder [Lobes Songs or Songs of Praise] is based on poems from Zwei Elefanten, die sich gut kannten [Two elephants who knew each other well]. Each song tells an animal story in a concise form with virtuosic word play. These colourful poetic miniatures carry large musical potential; it is not only the humour ofthe stories that inspired me, but also their language quality. Elisabeth Naske. German.

Roses Are Falling - 5 songs for Mezzo-Soprano and Piano by Bent Sorensen (1998) with lyrics by Selima Hill. Programme note: Roses are Falling had its origin in a small opera sketch I created with the English poet Selima Hill in just under a week during an opera workshop in the south of England in the autumn of 1998. After the workshop I was asked to make a song cycle out of the material. The opera sketch begins with a woman and a man sitting alone in a room. They have drawn aside from the rest of a large party and they have just decided to finish their love affair. The other guests at the party come into the room, and amidst the crowd the man leaves the room. The women is leftthere alone among all these inconsequential people: alone, singing her own thoughts and torment. The first three songs were all taken from this part. In the fourth song, which was written late, the text is taken from one of Selima Hill's poetry collections. The fifth and last song comes partly from the beginning of the opera, where the man and the women sit alone (she knows what is coming), partly from the end of the story, where despite the gab in time and space they touch each other with their dreams. His voice is heard as a whisper that merges with hers: He takes me in his arms like the moon that turns and take the evening from the sun. Roses are Falling was premiered in 2000 in London by Lore Lixenberg and Domenic Saunders.

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.

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.
