Schönes Lied. Leider kein Refrain
Finished 2005Ensemble und Liveelektronik
duration: 18'
Die „Verflechtung der einzelnen, menschlichen Pläne und Handlungen kann Wandlungen und Gestaltungen herbeiführen, die kein einzelner Mensch geplant oder geschaffen hat (...) Es ist diese Verflechtungsordnung, die dem Prozess der Zivilisation zugrunde liegt.“ (Norbert Elias: Über den Prozess der Zivilisation)
The „beautiful song“ asserts a history of the Lied, a process from monophony to polyphony shifting into chordal structures, from folksong to Kunstlied, from aria and melody&accompaniment up to a merely representation of melody by its partials (respectively close to e’ and g’).
The electronic has been realised at IRCAM and ZKM.
This work has been provided through support from the Forberg-Schneider-Stiftung for which I sincerely want to thank them. „Schönes Lied, leider kein Refrain” is written for the Ensemble Modern.
