gegangen Hand in Hand,
vom Wandern ruhen wir beide
nun überm stillen Land.Rings sich die Täler neigen,
es dunkelt schon die Luft,
zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen
nachträumend in den Duft.Tritt her, und lass sie schwirren,
bald ist es Schlafenszeit,
dass wir uns nicht verirren
in dieser Einsamkeit....

Through trouble and joy we have
walked hand in hand,
now we both rest from wandering
over the peaceful land.The valleys around us fade away,
already the sky grows dark,
only two larks still soar
dreamily into the fragrant air.Come here, and let them fly around,
soon it will be time to sleep,
we must not lose our way
in this solitude....

Main dans la main nous avons cheminé
traversant joie et détresse,
las de marcher, nous reposons maintenant,
entourés de la nature silencieuse.Autour de nous les vals s’inclinent,
l’air déjà s’assombrit,
seules deux alouettes prennent leur envol
énivrées du parfum de la nuit.Approche et laisse-les voleter,
il faut bientôt dormir,
que nous nous n’égarions pas
dans cette solitude....

Reviews
... Dargeboten werden Matsushitas Werke vom weithin bekannten Kammerchor Saarbrücken in bewährter Qualität und souveräner Gestaltungskraft.
Gustav Danzinger, CHOR aktuell, 1/2020
… Besonders beeindruckend ist hierbei die Dynamik des Chores, der vom dreifachen Pianissimo bis zum dreifachen Forte die gesamte Palette an Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bietet. Ein gelungenes Album, von mir empfohlen für einen nachdenklichen Winterabend mit schwerem Rotwein im Glas.
Haino Rindler, Chorzeit, 12/2019
... Den komplizierten Harmonien, den teils extremen Lagen, der Kleingliedrigkeit und dem Abwechslungsreichtum im musikalischen Ausdruck ist der Chor zu jeder Zeit gewachsen und erschließt dem Hörer diese Musik scheinbar mühelos. - grandios!
