Sofia
Gubaidulina took
Christian
MorgensternÂ’s
collection of poems
“Gallow
Songs†as the
starting point for her
own song cycle.
Gubaidulina adapted 15 of
MorgensternÂ’s
seemingly childlike,
formally simple poems,
which are full of
linguistic playfulness,
for mezzo-soprano, double
bass and percussion. In
her settings, the
composer subtly explores
the ambiguities of
MorgensternÂ’s poems
and transforms their
grotesque imagery into
unique miniatures of
sound. 14 of these songs
are also available in a
version for
mezzo-soprano, flute,
double bass, bayan and
percussion.
