A triptych
is a three-part
altarpiece. In the middle
of these fantasies for
viola stands a biblical
psalm, on the sides each
a poem from the 20th
century, which refers to
psalms. After Georg
Trakl's De Profundis, the
first fantasy captures
the lonely landscape at
the beginning of the poem
and the yearning voice of
the orphan girl. In the
second fantasy (after the
23rd Psalm Davids)
pastoral-comforting mood
frames the heaviness of
the Wandering in the dark
valley. The third fantasy
of Paul Celan's Psalm
lets the music emerge
from the void, unfolding
a melody with discreet
allusions to psalmodody
and Jewish music, which,
despite shadowy clouding,
ultimately allows for
flowering (above the
thorn).
