The
formal structure of this
organ chorale with solo
clarinet follows a Jewish
death prayer. The solo
clarinet represents the
chant of the traditional
prayer leader while the
organ plays the response
of the congregation of
the synagogue. The piece
ends with a cadenza of
the solo clarinet to
which an optional organ
improvisation can be
added.Barbara Heller
dedicated this chorale to
the memory of Elke Mascha
Blankenburg (1943-2013).
Talking about her before
the first performance,
the composer said: 'She
was open-hearted with a
really tender soul, very
trusting. Her creativity
knew no limits; she was
also an almost fanatical
campaigner for music by
women. In the music you
will hear now I have
attempted to convey some
aspects of her
personality: charming,
loving, obstinate,
committed, volatile,
tragic, crazy, untamed,
tender and anguished.'
The various sections of
this chorale may be
performed in a
correspondingly
contrasting manner:
searching, hesitant,
visionary, focused,
volatile, accusatory,
hopeful, etc., with use
of rubato and powerful
contrasts in dynamic and
tone quality.
