Created in 2004 for the radio production Orlando furioso of the WDR, 'Orlando-Lieder' tries to give new and colourful form to the old narrative style of an invented time of troubadours. Tenderness is juxtaposed to passion, harmony to brusqueness. The voice of the countertenor symbolizes the objective observation of what is happening in the novel by one of the balladeers travelling the courts of the world and informing us about the adventures of people, their strange encounters and their great emotions.Mezzo-Soprano and Piano. Contents: Lied der Sehnsucht * Lied der Wehmut * Der Hippogryph * Hexensabbat * Orlandos Traum * Logistillas Schloss * Amors Pfeil * Insel der Dufte * Lied der Augen * Eis * Liebesschmerz * Lied vom Meer * Lied vom Mond * Untrostlich * Erwachen.
