Peter Schindler Sonne, Mond und Sterne

Scenic cantata in two acts

Read and write feedback
In his scenic cantata “Sonne, Mond und Sterne” [Sun, Moon and Stars] Peter Schindler weaves texts from five centuries into a kaleidoscope of life. The poems are about the orbs sun, moon and stars; about love, desire, passion, time, the circle of live, about dreaming and dying. Quotidian and vulgarly funny as well as deeply serious topics are sung about. These texts by 26 famous German poets are reinterpreted through their musical adaptation. The cross-over music between jazz, chanson, pop and chamber music is blended by the composer into a unique and distinctive musical language. “Sonne, Mond und Sterne” speaks to all generations, from the experienced singer of classical music to the advanced youth choir with roots in pop music.

Additional material
  • Das Wunderhorn

    Ein Knab auf schnellem Ross
    sprengt auf der Kaisrin Schloss,
    das Ross zur Erd sich neigt,
    der Knab sich zierlich beugt.

    Wie lieblich, artig, schön
    die Frauen sich ansehn!
    Ein Horn trug seine Hand,
    daran vier goldne Band.

    Gar mancher schöne Stein
    gelegt ins Gold hinein,
    viel Perlen und Rubin
    die Augen auf sich ziehn.

    Das Horn vom Elefant,
    so groß man keinen fand,
    so schön man keinen fing,
    und oben dran ein Ring.

    Wie Silber blinken kann
    und hundert Glocken dran,
    vom feinsten Gold gemacht,

    ...

  • Denk es, o Seele!

    Ein Tännlein grünet wo,
    wer weiß, im Walde,
    ein Rosenstrauch,
    wer sagt, in welchem Garten?
    Sie sind erlesen schon,
    denk es, o Seele,
    auf deinem Grab zu wurzeln
    und zu wachsen.
    Zwei schwarze Rösslein weiden
    auf der Wiese,
    sie kehren heim zur Stadt
    in muntern Sprüngen.
    Sie werden schrittweis gehn
    mit deiner Leiche;
    vielleicht, vielleicht noch eh
    an ihren Hufen
    das Eisen los wird,
    das ich blitzen seh!

    Eduard Mörike (1804–1875)

  • Um Mitternacht

    Gelassen stieg die Nacht an’s Land,
    lehnt träumend an der Berge Wand,
    ihr Auge sieht die goldne Waage nun
    der Zeit in gleichen Schalen stille ruhn;
    und kecker rauschen die Quellen hervor,
    sie singen der Mutter, der Nacht, ins Ohr
    vom Tage,
    vom heute gewesenen Tage.

    Das uralt alte Schlummerlied,
    sie achtet’s nicht, sie ist es müd’;
    ihr klingt des Himmels Bläue süßer noch,
    der flücht’gen Stunden gleichgeschwungnes Joch.
    Doch immer behalten die Quellen das Wort,
    es singen die Wasser im Schlafe noch fort
    vom Tage,
    vom heute gewesenen Tage.

    Eduard Mörike (1804–1875)

Reviews

Um die Sache perfekt zu machen, standen Schindler bei der Live-Aufnahme mit Sandra Hartmann (Sopran), Georg Gädker (Bariton), dem Coro Piccolo Karlsruhe und der Camerata 2000 Musiker zur Verfügung, die ihre Aufgabe mit ebenso leichtem wie tiefem Sinn angegangen sind. Bravo!
Hans Jörg Wangner, Stuttgarter Zeitung, 21. Januar 2014

… eine empfehlenswerte Aufnahme.
