Di d`inviern (Luisa Famos) "Winter landscape" – piano clusters slowly 'thaw'. Shadow scales form, echo chords. Bells sound in the distance. 3. Queder engiadinais (Artur Caflisch) Bizarre text about a man who is asked by his wife not to smoke in the living room. Half sung, half spoken. The piano part is strictly composed using a numerical series. There is no alignment between the two musicians.

|
for soprano and violin sFr. 18.00 , € 14.00 The aphorisms of Robert Walser (he calls them phrases) unexpectedly caught my attention during nightly readings of his prose. The resulting compositional sketches, all of which were produced in one day, were graphically and verbally fixed (drawn), later interpreted (crystallised) and then precisely notated. The melodic steps of the female voice are often microtonal and are to be performed in the tiniest of intervals in accordance with the interpretation of the texts. In the sixth miniature the violin is retuned resulting in new, profound harmonic situations as well as creating friction between the strings and the voice. To set the texts of Walser to music, to elevate them and endure their depths filled me with an “incredibly intense joy”.

The statistical information is set to music in a recitative manner with very few, primarily sustained notes. This is in contrast to the ten newsflashes whose music is composed with lively movements and a tangible pulse in various structures. The somewhat macabre text montage reflects the apparent phenomenon of the sometimes-grotesque contrast of various themes and texts, which seems to magically attract humans.

| 18204 | Cécile Marti: trennend verschmelzen (2007) |
| |
|
|
for soprano and trumpet sFr. 18.00 , € 14.00 The core of this piece is created by the convergence of two sounds with very different tonal characters. It is an attempt at bringing together two differing tonal qualities (one soft and elastic, the other sharp and determined), to recoulour them and transform them. Is it possible to create a moment where a new mutual sounding body is formed, where a combination colour becomes a new primary colour? How can this threshold be approached: via the fusion of harmony, by increasing the disharmony, through the alternation of tone and tempo dispositions? The more the voice becomes a sound dispenser, the more instrumental it becomes. As there is no room here for language as a carrier of meaning, the phonetical formation of syllables allows the vocal sound to become purely tonal.

| |
|
|
for soprano, baritone, horn, two trumpets, trombone, percussion and strings sFr. 62.00 , € 48.00 Sappho and Alkaios from the isle of Lesbos are amongst the most prestigious representatives of Greek lyrics strongly connected with the Orpheus saga. After the heavenly singer has lost his beloved Eurydice to the underworld and, spurned by his endless mourning, he seeks the love of other women. Bacchante tear him to pieces in an angry rage and cast his head into the sea. The tide washes it onto the shores of Lesbos - here his mouth is once again brought to speech by the lyric of the island. Mythological notions merge with personal experience and sufferance in connection with the erotic. Eros is the ‘weirdest God’ (Alkaois) whose effect is to rip open the abyss between the highest fulfilment and the degeneration towards death. The elemental force with which he encompasses man awakes in him an orpheic longing for immortality and the desire to overcome the underworld; simultaneously bringing even more painfully the forlornness of his wish to consciousness. While Alkaios attempts to forget in wild drunkenness and sexual indulgence, we eavesdrop on Sappho, and the dark tones of a wish for love in which pain resonates with the transient. EIS EROTA combines fragments from both poets to produce a dialogue on the subject of love and death.
