Based on a text by Anna Achmatowa

Instrumentation: for twenty-five female voices in six groups from very high to very low register and a minimum of three male voices (bass solo)

Texts: Anna Achmatowa

This piece is based on a phonetic analysis of the voice of Achmatowa as she reads one of her own texts, and it is the musical rather than the semantic elements of Achmatowa's recitation that have been used. A cantus firmus-like line (male voices) defines the melody of her speech in a slow motion tempo. The six choir groups run "homophonically" and are a vertically "harmonious" splitting of the cantus firmus.

"Seit Jahrhunderten hat die abendländische Musik geistliche Messen hervorgebracht - teils basierend auf religiöser Überzeugung, teils die bewährte sakrale Tradition fortschreibend. Einem solchen Werk begegnet die Missa de homine mit einem zeitgenössischen und gegensätzlichen Zugriff: "Nicht Gott, sondern der sterbliche Mensch mit seinen positiven wie negativen Eigenschaften steht im Mittelpunkt."

Der Cantate Basel Kammerchor brachte die Missa de homine im Wechsel mit Joseph Haydns Harmoniemesse zur Uraufführung.

Six songs

Instrumentation: for bass and orchestra (2(pic).2.2.(bcl).2(cbn)/2.2.0.0/timp.perc/str)

Texts: John Donne

Orchestral version of the six songs for bass and piano.
In 'A Valediction' I have taken six poems by the Baroque poet John Donne with one prevailing theme: the saying of farewells, the leaving of loved ones. The theme is circumscribed in Donne's picturesque language in a multitude of modes ranging from tender pain to powerful and reckless claims of freedom, and on further to ecstatic delirium in the knowledge that physical separation is revoked by spiritual unification.
In a similar manner to the text, the music circles around a complex nucleus of themes that merge into great lines and trace the various shades of feeling.
'A Valediction' is dedicated to Ute and Susanne Stoecklin.

"Silence, ça pousse!" ist der Titel einer Ratgebersendung zur Gartenpflege von TV France 5. Zum anderen geht es im übertragenen Sinne darum, inwieweit man allgemein in selbständig wachsende Prozesse eingreifen soll oder sich darauf beschränken möchte, zuzusehen oder zuzuhören. So heisst es bereits in der skandinavischen "Snorra Edda" um 1220: "Er kann auch hören, dass das Gras auf der Erde und die Wolle auf den Schafen wächst, sowie überhaupt alles, was einen Laut von sich gibt."

Die drei Kompositionen basieren auf Gedichten, welche Alban Berg (1885-1935) in seinen "Jugendlieder" (1901 - 1908) für Stimme und Klavier vertont hat. Für einen altersklugen Komponisten ist es durchaus reizvoll, für einmal Texte zu vertonen, die er üblicherweise nicht in Betracht gezogen hätte. Denn Alban Bergs Jugendlieder, im Alter von 16-23 Jahren geschrieben, vertonen hochromantische Gedichte auch aus dem Freundeskreis, während er später hochkarätige Autoren bevorzugt hat.
