ISBN: 9789461330130 ISMN: 9790803557085
Twenty-four carefully selected (arranged by me) lieder by Heinrich Heine, from the hundreds of poems about love he wrote. As far as I know, they have not yet been set to music by others.
The theme is (of course) love: passionate, poignant, funny, melancholic, full of pathos, yearning, witty, etc.
Since Heine did not give these poems a title, I have allowed myself to do so. The same applies to the title of the cycle.
I composed the lieder in a logical order for me, but not necessarily for you.
Depending on the text, the lieder always have a different character!
For the moment these lieder will be released exclusively in Heine's German version.
Aristos
Below you can get an impression of these lieder for
(big) SATB Choir and String Orchestra.
I advise you not to listen to the music via a mobile phone, tablet or laptop. That could turn out to be a disappointment, unless you use very good headphones.
For a reasonably acceptable experience, a computer with a good sound system is required!
Please note:
This music is an electronic representation and is therefore not comparable to a human version!
For example, one does not hear the words of the sung text by the choir, but only "aah" and "ooh".
The instruments, on the other hand, are quite realistic thanks to the latest electronics.
It remains, however, that the whole of the interpretation of the conductors/musicians is missing and therefore may sound somewhat sterile.
