1955 erschien aus der Hand der franzosischen Nonne Carmen Bernos de Gaszold ein Gedichtband unter dem Titel Prieres dans l'Arche - Gebete aus der Arche. Diese Gebete werden den Tieren in den Mund gelegt, die mit Noah, in der drangvollen Enge der Arche vereint, das Ende der Sintflut erwarten. Die Dichterin folgt einer Tradition - man denkt an Asop, La Fontaine und Goethe - wenn sie im Wesen der Kreaturen Spiegelungen menschlicher Schwachen, Fehler und Tugenden erkennt. Denn die in der Wasserwuste gefangenen Tiere reden so fromm, furchtsam, selbstgerecht und banal, wie es menschlich ware. Und auch das Allzumenschliche - Hoffart, Leichtsinn, Neid - kommt zu Wort. Nur dass die Ichbefangenheit der betenden Tiere ihrer Unschuld keinen Abbruch tut. Ihre bedingte und bedrangte Natur findet Gedanken, die uns ein sympathisierendes Lacheln abgewinnt. Der Zyklus schien mir zur Vertonung geeignet, weil er ein religioses Thema unpratentios und originell vortragt und ein Stuck ermoglicht, das die ubliche Trennung zwischen weltlich und geistlich uberschreitet und Konzertsaal und Kirche in Anspruch nehmen kann. Zur Besetzung: Der Frauenchor muss aus den vier ublichen Stimmlagen 1. und 2. Sopran, 1. und 2. Alt bestehen, wobei auch noch Stimmteilungen vorkommen. In Nr. 9 Gebet der Taube wird noch ein (aus dem Chor zu bildendes) Soloquartett gebraucht. Der Instrumentalpart besteht aus einer Oboe und einem Streicherquintett (1. und 2. Violine, Viola, Violoncello und Kontrabass). Die Besetzung soll solistisch sein, kann aber bei den Streichern (und wenn die Klangbalance zum Chor dies wunschenswert macht) zu einem kleinen Kammerorchester erweitert werden. Der Charakter der Instrumente, ihre Techniken und Farben, erlauben mir realistische Klangmetaphern und physiognomische Parallelen - so, wenn das Cello im Duett mit dem Alt die hochmutige Giraffe in grossintervalligen Sprungen deutet, die rasende Geschaftigkeit der Ameise sich in schnellen Violinbariolagen ausdruckt oder die Oboe ein naturalistisches Rabengekrachz horen lasst. Der Zyklus beginnt mit dem Gebet des Noah. Man stelle sich das Gedrange und Geschrei vor, dass die Arche erfullt, die hochgehenden Wogen, den prasselnden Regen, und mitten darin den Urvater Noah, dem sich der Ausruf entringt: Herr, was fur ein Zirkus! Seine Ausbruche korrespondieren mit dem auf- und niederwogenden Streichersatz, bis der Sturm sich legt, die Wogen sich glatten und Noah in der mehrmals gedehnten Phrase Es dauert lange seine Ergebung und Hoffnung ausdruckt. Nach dem pharisaischen Gebet der Giraffe ergreift die Schildkrote das Wort. Ihr Instrument ist die Bratsche. Ihre schnaufende Kurzatmigkeit hindert sie, ihr Gebet zusammenhangend zu sprechen. Der fleissigen Ameise - sie erbost sich sehr uber die Grille, deren Wirtshausmusik sie unterbricht - folgt der Hahn mit hellen und scharfen Tonen. Er ist es, der die Sonne aufgehen lasst; man kann es in dem sich auffaltenden Klang der Coda horen. Der vergessliche Schmetterling taumelt in immer neu variierten Oboenfiguren durch die glasernen Sommerklange von Streicherflageoletts, bis es ihm einfallt, was er sagen wollte: Amen. Das Schwein bekennt sich zu seiner schnuffelnden und grunzenden Natur, die, von den Streichern mit rauhem Bogendruck gezeichnet, in der Coda durch eine stille F-Dur-Kantilene eine sonderbare Verklarung erfahrt. Vor uns die Sintflut ruft der Rabe, und sein durchdringender Oboenschrei ubertont das Wogen und Schwanken der Streicher, die hier Motive aus dem Gebet des Noah wieder aufnehmen. In der darauf eintretenden Stille bieten die Instrumente verschiedene Themen an, die folgenlos verschwinden - um nach dem Altsolo Die Arche wartet sich in einem ruhig-feierlichen a-cappella-Satz mit alternierendem Soloquartett wieder zusammenzufinden und das Werk in reinem Es-Dur beschliessen. Alfred Koerppen.

Written by Mexico's first well-known female composer, María Grever, this vals Mexicano (Mexican waltz) makes a charming a cappella work for outstanding choirs. The textured setting offers well-conceived choral parts throughout, sometimes using lower voices to provide a dance-like underscore for the lilting melody. A full translation and pronunciation notes aid in the understanding and mastery of an entirely Spanish text, which recounts a story of new love. Feature an agile soprano on the jaunty descant near the end.

Hymn for Pentecost. Composed by Ko Matsushita. Edited by Stefan Schuck. Contemporary Choir Music. Sacred vocal music, Whitsun. Full score. 12 pages. Duration 5 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 09.662/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.966200).

ISBN 9790007167677. Language: Latin.

Matsushita's setting of a hymn for Pentecost is a dialog between women's choir and piano: while the choir develops its melodies from the Gregorian hymn, the piano provides a counterpoint with the minimalistic sounds of fourth and fifths, together with short independent motives related to the text of the hymn. Corresponding to the chorale, the meter changes continually, as if floating. The choir is treated homophonically throughout and, in preparation for the climax of the piece it is briefly divided into six parts at the words pacemque dones protinus (true peace bring unto us). One again Matsushita proves himself a master of economy in his use of compositional means; thus his works of new church music are appealing, effective, and they express humility.

A setting of a nativity poem from Her Maker's Maker by Michael Symmons Roberts, New-made for a king was commissioned by Andreas Klatt for Farnham Youth Choir. Scored mainly in four parts, the choral texture is homophonic, the harmony rich yet approachable by young performers, with a decorative piano accompaniment. In the mould of a lullaby, the piece's over-riding calm is troubled towards the close by indistinct pp lontano interjections from the piano, in response to the poem's portentous closing words.
