The
conductor Frieder Bernius
regards the motets of
Hans Fahrmann as an
indispensable and
extremely welcome
addition to the late
Romantic repertoire. The
composer's output is
little known nowadays.
Born in 1860, he was
considered the Richard
Strauss of the organ
during his lifetime. With
their demanding
harmonies, Fahrmann's
choral motets place high
demands on choirs and -
like Reger's works -
stretch tonality to its
extremes. And not least,
their sonorous
expressivity is thanks to
their chromatic richness.
Frieder Bernius has
recorded the Motets opp.
34, 45, and 65 with the
SWR Vokalensemble for the
first time on CD (Carus
83.499).

Of Time
and Passing (2016) is a
cycle of three choral
songs written
specifically for the
London-based ensemble,
VOCES8, taking into
consideration their
versatilityand ability to
beautifully intone a
range of vocal colors
with precision and
grace.
The first
song, I. Life, sets my
translation of the poem A
Vida by Brazilian poet
Olavo Bilac (1865-1918),
a poet I discovered while
studying Brazilian
Portuguese at the
University of Michigan. I
was drawn both to the
simplicity of the text
and to the possibilities
of teasing out dual
contrasting moods. In the
beginning and end, this
song explores a texture
that is very much alive:
wave-like contours,
throbbing sounds, and
plenty of flowing
movement. Rising
eighth-note motives in
particular emphasize the
fleetingness of life. But
in the middle of the
song, the listener is
given a slowed-down
atmosphere to savor
life's beauty.
II.
To Everything a Season
capitalizes on VOCES8's
ability to effectively
interpret popular genres
a cappella. This ancient
text is taken from
Ecclesiastes (dated
around 300 B.C.) but I
set it to a modern,
rhythmically-regular and
percussive pop-style
idiom. Since popular
music in whatever era is
designed to appeal to
a specific ?present
time?, it is by its very
nature ephemeral, and
therefore seemed an apt
metaphor to evoke the
transitory nature of
seasons.
III. Into
Your Hands, confines the
writing into no more than
four parts, often with
octave unisons.This
creates a more direct and
word-focused setting in
which the Psalmist?s
urgent words are placed
at the forefront. Largely
homophonic, this song is
at times chorale-like, at
times
madrigal-like, finall
y relinquishing it?s
tension into peaceful
rest, proclaiming ?You
have redeemed me, O Lord,
faithful God??

Eb major. English. Barter
by Sara
Teasdale.
Life has
loveliness to sell, All
beautiful and splendid
things, Blue waves
whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways
and sings, And children's
faces looking up Holding
wonder in a cup.
Life has loveliness to
sell, Music like a curve
of gold, Scent of pine
trees in the rain, Eyes
that love you, arms that
hold, And for your
spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star
the night. Spend
all you have for
loveliness, Buy it and
never count the cost; For
one white singing hour of
peace Count many a year
of strife well lost, And
for a breath of ecstacy
Give all you have been,
or could be. --Barter
from Love Songs (1918) by
Sara Teasdale Sara
Teasdale (1884-1933) was
an American poet whose
short, personal lyrics
are noted for their
classical simplicity and
quiet intensity. Teasdale
was born in St. Louis,
Missouri and traveled to
Chicago as a young woman,
where she grew acquainted
with Harriet Monroe and
the literary circle
around Poetry. Teasdale
wrote seven books of
poetry in her lifetime
and received public
admiration for her
well-crafted lyrical
poetry which centered on
a woman's changing
perspectives of beauty,
love, life, and death.

The a
cappella motet Alleluja
(2018) is a song of
longing which resonates
existential need as well
as the hope of a profound
connection to God. In the
beginning, which is
delicate and motivically
very concentrated but
metrically deliberately
uncoordinated, more and
more voices gather to
sing together, until
suddenly, starting from
the bass, a violent and
rhythmically exalted
incantation breaks out.
The following fortissimo
unison in a high register
is the climax of the
entire work piece. In the
Abgesang, the beginning
is taken up, but now in a
polyphonic and
harmonically intensified
setting. The end in A
major seems like a
salvation. The work has
been released on the CD

Love
Abide encapsulates
the very contemporary
ethos of multicultural
spiritual devotion in a
world populated by a rich
diversity of faiths--all
feeling, as deeply and as
aesthetically, the
compelling potency of
music with love.
A rich offering
on a theme of interfaith
connectivity. The
Japanese lullaby-inspired
Zen Love Song and the
title work Love Abide are
totally
absorbing.
BBC
Music Magazine, 5
stars
With its
outspoken positive
approach, Love Abide is
like a musical bouquet of
healing herbs. Roxana
Panufnuik's beautifully
crafted music is
inventive and truly
enjoyable. The Colla Voce
Singers produce singing
of exceptional quality,
with impressive control
and a very good balance.
Remy Franck,
www.pizzicato.lu, 5
stars
If I had to
choose a
'glass-half-full'
contemporary composer,
then Roxanna Panufnik
would be near the top of
my list. Her Music exudes
openness and inclusivity,
and it is in the choral
settings where hope and
positivity - two words
that lie at the heart of
her work - are most
keenly felt. ... much of
her recent work can be
seen to be built on the
solid foundations laid
down on this impressively
varied and diverse
collection. A music of
hope in dark and troubled
times.

Based on the
well-known bible text
“Sing unto the Lord
a new song†(Psalm
96:1-3), this upbeat
composition with strong
dynamics and flowing
block chords alternating
with fast-paced polyphony
brings across this joyful
message and enthuses
singers.
Originall
y conceived for male
choir, women’s
voices have now been
added so that this
version for mixed choir
presents a further
dimension of colour. This
version also makes it
possible to divide the
choir into two groups,
one for women and another
for men, and to have them
sing either together or
as separate units.
The version for mixed
choir was premiered in
Uppsala Cathedral
(Sweden) on 26 October
2013, with the Uppsala
Cathedral Singers
conducted by Ulric
Andersson.
“
My music is my own and I
have never tried to be
original. That has always
been my motto and I have
only tried to use music
to express all the
feelings which life has
to offer. This has led
people to describe my
music as ‘so sad
that it sounds like birds
who have lost their
wings‘ but also as
‘the happiest
classical music that we
have ever
heard’. My
compositions are almost
all sacred. They express
not only my own faith but
also my appreciation and
respect for the timeless
texts that have been used
for centuries and
centuries.â€
