Erich Schmid (1907 - 2000) was an orchestra conductor, choir director and university lecturer who promoted world premieres and radiobroadcasts of contemporary music in Switzerland. He himself studied with Bernhard Sekles, among others, then with Arnold Schönberg and followed the aesthetics of the New Viennese School in his compositions. The historical-critical Erich Schmid Edition publishes for the first time all sixteen opus-numbered works as well as three additional piano works. The playfully inventive cycle for voice, piano and string quartet, dedicated to his “dear wife” Martha, brings together short compositions written in 1937-40. “These are,” says Schmid, “12 small pieces in a wide variety of instrumentation and different forms - some of them twelve-tone pieces, some of them in a technique that comes close. An attempt to write music that is technically easier to perform.” The arch-like overall form combines folksong-like vocal numbers on text from “Des Knaben Wunderhorn” with solo pieces, quartet movements and counterpoint art on the name of “BACH” and expresses Schmid's view of music in a subtly personal way.

The historical-critical Erich Schmid Edition publishes for the first time all sixteen opus-numbered works as well as three additional piano works. Suite No. 1 is an interesting hybrid that conveys the most modern compositional structure in the genre of light music. Schmid composed it shortly after the end of his year as a master student of Schönberg in Berlin. Like his other works of the time, its unusual instrumentation already shows an effort to move on from classical “high forms” and compose in looser structures, with the free use of the twelve-tone technique providing inner coherence. “Dance”, “Waltz”, “March” are linked by two inserted “Intermezzi” and introduced by an “Introduction� �. Not all movements require full instrumentation and are designed for solo rather than group performance. Professional playing techniques such as flutter tonguing and alienating sound effects through damping and muting are used.

Grundlage der von namhaften Musikwissenschaftlern erarbeiteten 35 Werkdarstellungen von Guillaume de Machaut uber Orlando di Lasso, Bach, Schubert und Brahms bis Schonberg und Britten ist die Interpretation der in Wort und Ton fixierten musikalischen Texte, die Erorterung von deren ideengeschichtlichem Zusammenhang und kunstgeschichtlichem Wesen unter vielfaltigen Gesichtspunkten. Mit der Erschliessung der Werkgehalte wird jedem Ausfuhrenden und jedem Horer - Chorleitern und Sangern, Studenten, Komponisten, Wissenschaftlern und Padagogen - der Weg zu einer gleichermassen geistigen und sinnlichen Auffassung der Musik gewiesen. In einem separaten Band sind alle im Text behandelten Kompositionen vollstandig wiedergegeben. Mit diesem Sammelband wird die erstmals 1983 erschienene erfolgreiche Publikation gleichen Titels fortgesetzt und zu einem Abriss der Geschichte der unbegleiteten Chor- und Ensemblemusik von der Ars antiqua bis zur Gegenwart erganzt, der theoretischem Analyseanspruch wie musikpraktischen Erfordernissen gleichermassen gerecht wird.
