With his
musical setting
Nachtlicher Himmel based
on words from a letter by
Vincent van Gogh, Rolf
Rudin ventures into
downright impressionist
terrain. Just as the
famous painter creates
literary images with his
letters and knows how to
visualize landscapes and
frames of mind, the
award-winning composer
knows how to musically
capture such moods and
atmospheres. His
composition for two- to
four-part women's choir
(SSAA) and piano lives on
dynamic nuances, changes
of time, chromaticism and
triplet figures as well
as harp-like arpeggios
which give the work a
mystical quality. Due to
its chord progressions
with great chromaticism,
the choral part of this
c. 4-minute work contains
some intonational
obstacles which are worth
negotiating while holding
out the prospect of a
unique sound
experience.
