Erdmann-Abele / Lessing / Linckelmann - Nachtklaenge - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Veit Erdmann-Abele writes of his new InchThe term I like to use is Klangbild, a picture in sound. It refers to the musical reaction we can have vis-à-vis paintings or texts. Take the Five Meditations on Stained-Glass Windows, for instance the original stained-glass windows featured scenes from the Old and New Testaments. My music is by no means an attempt to InchdescribeInch those stories; rather, it is the outgrowth of my very personal, individual thoughts and emotions. My approach is like that of a book illustrator. The music should not attempt to recount the story; rather, quite differently, it offers an independent commentary on the events. I apply the same approach in my Inchmusical commentariesInch on Dietmar Scholz's textual aphorisms. The music does not literally depict Inchthe lonely hair that becomes important by falling into the soupInch, but tries to grasp the meaning hidden behind the text. This becomes particularly apparent in the case of Scholz's aphorism InchIn a mirror, everything is similar and everything is the oppositeInch this textual content can be musically depicted as a form. In the same way, my musical setting of the Romanesque Frescoes is not a description, but a commentary.Inch
