The making
of El Cimarron began in
about 1986, with a
conversation I had with
Hans Magnus Enzensberger
about the difficulties of
writing political songs
today that would go
beyond the achievements
of Eisler, Weill and
Dessau in this field. It
seemed to me that I might
try to tackle the problem
by writing a cycle with a
variety of musical
materials out of which
perhaps something novel
might emerge in a new and
different context, almost
by chance. Enzensberger
told me of the recent
publication of a
biography by Esteban
Montejo, an old Afrocuban
who lived in Havana and
who recalled his
adolescence as a slave,
and suggested that I
should set episodes from
this book that he,
Enzensberger, would
select for my
experimentation.El
Cimarron, however, did
not turn into a cycle of
songs and was, indeed,
not even intended as such
- what came out of the
work is a new form of
theatrical music
making.Singer, flautist
and guitarist are
occasionally required to
play percussion
instruments.- Hans Werner
Henze
