Since an
invitation to the Emerald
Isle, Harald Genzmer
(1909-2007) has been
fascinated with the local
tradition and culture.
Therefore, after the
songs 'Irische Harfe', he
wrote another cycle for
mixed choir at a ripe old
age: 'Lieder einer
Insel'. In three parts
with ten choral settings
altogether, the composer
tells stories from the
mythology of the Emerald
Isle in the Irish poems,
in the texts of old and
modern lyricists,
describes emotions,
desires, laments: from
'Weissagung Cathbads' to
'Lobgesang der
Gerechten', from the
bright 'Monch und seinem
Lieblingskater' to the
sad lament 'Das Lied in
einem Madchenherzen',
from the tender 'Anrufung
des Friedens' to the
contemplate 'Abendgebet'.
The freely tonal settings
range from simple,
chordal-homophonic via
declamatory to
expressive. Of
intermediate difficulty,
these choral miniatures
are suitable not only for
professional ensembles
but also for ambitious
amateur choirs.
