Farewell Music

Wit h the Ernste Gesaenge (Serious Songs) for baritone and string orchestra Hanns Eisler created at the end of his life a key work whose complex message becomes more than clear from the music settings of texts by five different poets, together with the Holderlin motto articulated in the prologue. It reflects - between resignation and hope - the difficult current state of societal development.  At the same time, not least by harking back to earlier works, it is a kind of quintessence of his composing. The piano arrangement of the subtle orchestral accompaniment is intended not only as a study aid for singers, but also as a work for public performance.

Then I Ceased to Ask Those Questions. Composed by Jean Sibelius. Voice; stapled. Deutscher-Lieder-Verlag.

Nearly all of the orchestral arrangements were made years after the original compositions. Yet even though the arrangements were made in a very short period of time, Sibelius handled the combination of solo voice and orchestra with equal mastery.

Sibelius made most of the orchestral versions of his songs for the soprano Ida Ekman (1875-1942), the incomparable Sibelius singer the composer called her in a dedication written in a score. Ida Ekman gave the first performance of the orchestral version of Se'n har jag ej fragat mera on March 30, 1914, in Turku. Idas husband Karl conducted the orchestra of the Turku Musical Society.Nearly all of the orchestral arrangements were made years after the original compositions for voice and piano. Yet even though the arrangements were made in a very short period of time, Sibelius handled the combination of solo voice and orchestra in all songs with equal mastery, sometimes creating dark and dramatic atmospheres (in Pa verandan vid havet), sometimes radiant, colorful impressions (in Soluppgang), or light-colored, transparent textures (in Varen flyktar hastigt), and always basing his ideas on the poetic idea of the song while discovering refined ways of supporting it.In most cases, Sibelius used a comparatively small orchestra: Varen flyktar hastigt has only two flute and four horns added to the strings.
