However if used as an a cappella piece theflavor and excitement are still there for the singers and audience. A wonderful addition for your treble library!

DR Pigekoret-Sange for Pigekor 4 redigeret af Phillip Faber og Jakob Faurholt (2017). Fra forord:Med serien Sange for pigekor ønsker vi at fokusere på bredden i ligestemmig sang og præsentere de bedste satser fra DR PigeKorets repertoire. Vi har samlet nye og gamle danske sange og dette hæfte spænder fra Carl Nielsen til Agnes Obel og Marie Key. DR PigeKoret har siden etableringen i 1938 været formidler af den danske sangskat og har med bestillinger af både originalværker og arrangementer været med til at forny den ligestemmige sang. DRs nodearkiv bugner afværker og arrangementer for pigekor og hvert år kommer der endnu flere til. Et udvalg af disse sange præsenterer vi i denne serie i håbet om at de kan være til glæde og inspiration for andre ligestemmige kor. Alle satserne i serien er blevet sunget af DR PigeKoret eller DR JuniorKoret og bag i hæftet findes der noter til et udvalg af sangene. Phillip Faber og Jakob Faurholt

Five choral songs. Par SCHONHERR CHRISTOPH. Since his earliest childhood, Christoph Schönherr has been fascinated by all things nautical. His cycle Von Schiffen, Meer und Wind (Of Ships, Sea and Wind) brings together verses by different poets that explore the sea in its various guises. The work's selected poems describe the vast ocean that can fill us with a deep sense of tranquility, but can also bring mortal danger with its storms and destructive waves. Boats, and especially sailing ships, are often associated with freedom, a sense of weightlessness, and security. But if we are caught in a storm at sea, we suddenly find ourselves at the mercy of nature. We are made painfully aware of our own insignificance in the greater scheme of things.According to the composer and passionate sailor: ?In the five choral songs I attempt to characterize the atmosphere of the texts and the emotions they contain. My experiences at sea, for example in storms or when simply contemplating the motionless water, guided me in my search for a suitable means of musical expression.? / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / SSAA
