Calls for peace – beautiful and devastating
Seicento vocale’s debut CD traces a musical and thematic line from the Thirty Years’ War to the world wars of the 20th century – a concept album that depicts aspects of war with tonal and verbal eloquence: from the dubious glorification of a hero’s death to the obvious senselessness of dying young.
In the center is Rainer Maria Rilke’s tale of a young cornet, as the melodrama Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke (The Tale of the Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke) sensitively and captivatingly set to music by Victor Ullmann in the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1944. Seicento vocale has divided Ullmann’s composition for piano and speaker into separate scenes, which are arranged for choir and juxtaposed with a capella works by Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann. Thus, out of Rilke’s bleak journey into a distant war zone, from longed-for rest and a Baroque danse macabre, the catastrophe unfolds: on the morning of the battle, the Cornet oversleeps; so as not to abandon his unit completely, he lunges unprotected into enemy lines. For the bereaved, choir and listeners, only the empathy of grieving nature in Brahms’ In stiller Nacht (In Silent Night) remains.
Ernst Krenek also assumes a baroque tone with the selection of poems for his Kantate von der Vergänglichkeit des Irdischen (Cantata on the Transience of the Earthly). It combines the timeless expressive content of poetry by Gryphius, Fleming or Opitz with a modern musical language. Written in 1932, the cantata explores themes of suffering and the physical and psychological effects of war as a way of coming to terms with the past, yet it is also prophetic.
Max Regers Requiem „Seele, vergiß sie nicht“ (Soul, Forget Them Not) on a text by Friedrich Hebbel can be read as a commitment to a vibrant culture of mourning and remembrance, which Brahms intensifies even more in his setting of Schiller’s Dem dunklen Schoß der heilgen Erde (To Holy Earth’s E’er-Darkening Womb): comfort is found in the hope that the honest work of mourning may sow the seed for a better, more blossoming future.
The young ensemble and soloists shape their music freely and colourfully and possess a high quality of sound and interpretative depth. With their debut album, Seicento vocale aim to contribute to a responsible and historically conscious coexistence. The works serve not only for musical enjoyment, but also to commemorate and process the horrors of past wars, together with the desire for a collective “Never again”.
