(1997) Place and time:
Jail Munchen-Stadelheim,
in the hour before the
execution on 22nd
February 1943 Characters:
Sophie Scholl (soprano) /
Hans Scholl (baritone or
tenor) >>Weisse Rose<<
(White Rose) was the name
of the resistance group
to which Hans and Sophie
Scholl belonged. Udo
Zimmermann's composition
is characterized by the
varying structure of its
scenes: dramatic,
visionary scenes, e.g.
the remembered wartime
experiences on the front,
Sophie's anxiety about
the removal of the
children and the wish to
see her parents one last
time, contrast with
contemplative monologues
that are intended to
provide insights into the
individual's particular
situation. The composer
interweaves into the
structure of the piece
dream sequences with
sudden bursts of anxiety
that are not triggered by
the execution that is
about to take place but
by the consequences of
one's own actions. The
result is a deliberate
fusion of the various
parts into one another.
More than 100 different
productions prove that
the topic is as important
as ever and that the work
is both artistically
rewarding and
practicable. Udo
Zimmermann About the
piece Two young people,
the siblings Sophie and
Hans Scholl, are in a
prison cell, one hour
before they are to be put
to death by their fascist
executioners. Their
christian convictions and
sense of responsibility
gave them the courage to
put up resistance,
resistance against the
lies, the contempt for
humanity and all human
values. Sophie and Hans
Scholl took their stand
in the full knowledge
that they were taking a
deadly risk. They would
simply not have been able
to live with their
feelings of shame had
they not grasped the
chance of fighting for
what they believed in,
even though it was a
dangerous thing to do.
Memories of past events,
doubts, hopes and fears,
justification of deeds
and an acceptance of
death, all these things
happen and move in, and
between, these two people
during this
representation of the
hour before death. The
orchestra provides a
psycho-physical shorthand
of their inner mental
state. Musical effects
and gestures search for
their identity in human
behaviour. The moments of
stillness and silence
provide moments of
musical tension, which
are just as powerful as
the eruptions of fear and
desperation. CDs:

It
was Christmas Eve, and
the frost air was cold
and still. The house
where the kittens lived
was snug and warm. In a
twinkling of an eye
everything changed. One
little kitten dashed out
into the night through
the unexpectedly opened
front door. The search
for the lost kitten takes
us outside, where we
encounter sneaky jumping
mice, howling alley cats,
snuffling hedgehogs and
quacking ducks. In the
end, all is happily
resolved! Opportunities
for mime, movement and
dance. If you need to

The song was
written in 2003, after
the composer-s spells of
work with Tom Bogdan. The
piece is dedicated to him
and to Meredith Monk, in
whose ensemble Tom Bogdan
regularly appears; as a
performer he has also
taken part in several
works by Monk. The song
begins in passacaglia
form, as a kind of quest
for an answer, seeking
the perfect solution. In
the light of the failure
of this to come about,
the second part explains
the futility of the
search. First
performance: March
2003.

In
Engelslicht und
Dornenschatten, the
author invites us to
listen to well-known
Christmas carols in a new
spirit, beyond all hoary
cliches. The Lieder fur
eine stille
Weihnachtszeit and
especially the different
instrumental
accompaniments grew out
of improvisation and the
desire to encourage the
formative creativity of
the musicians. The
arrangements correspond
to the recordings on the
eponymous CD known
through radio broadcasts.
I sought new approaches
to the carols. My fingers
played accompaniments as
if on their own, my voice
made repeats where there
were none, and did away
with some of the carols
original form. It was as
if something within me
was searching for a
counter-magic to thwart
the force of habit and
the automatism with which
Christmas carols are
often sung and heard.
(Christine Maria
Rembeck).
