Using four
well-known poems by Else
Lasker-Schüler as basis
of a vocal work does not
mean “setting to
music” in the customary
sense to the composer
Lothar Voigtländer from
Dresden: The colourful
figure of the poetess,
her unusual imageries,
her (even religious)
visions, as well as her
close relation with
renowned fine artists of
her time had been on his
mind for quite some time
and in 2009 found their
way into this
composition: The
dramatic, irregularly
declaiming singing voice
is harmonised with
mystic, exotic piano
farlands and the sounds
of bells. At the
composition competition
of the Viennese Mahler
Society in 2010, the
songs were awarded the
1st prize.
