  • Traum durch die Dämmerung

    Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau;
    die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn,
    nun geh ich hin zu der schönsten Frau,
    weit über Wiesen im Dämmergrau,
    tief in den Busch von Jasmin.
    Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land;
    ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht;
    mich zieht ein weiches, samtenes Band
    durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land,
    in ein blaues, mildes Licht.

    Otto Julius Bierbaum

  • Dream in the twilight Vast meadows in gray of twilight;
    the sun dies away, the stars move on,
    now I go to the most beautiful woman,
    far over meadows in gray of twilight,
    deep into the bush of jasmine.
    Through gray of twilight in the land of love; I move, not quickly, I hurry not;
    I am drawn by a tender, velvet bond, through gray of twilight in love’s land,
    into a blue, soft light.

    Otto Julius Bierbaum

  • Rêve au crépuscule

    Vastes prairies dans le gris du crépuscule ;
    le soleil s’éteint, les étoiles s’élèvent,
    je vais à la rencontre de la plus belle des femmes,
    par les vastes prairies dans le gris du crépuscule,
    au plus profond du bosquet de jasmin.

    Dans le gris du crépuscule au pays de l’amour ;
    je ne vais pas vite, je ne me hâte pas ;
    un doux ruban de velours me guide
    dans le gris du crépuscule au pays de l’amour,
    vers une douce lumière bleutée.

    Otto Julius Bierbaum

Additional product information
  • Bereits mit sechs Jahren beginnt der Sohn des Musikers Franz Joseph Strauss und dessen Frau Josephine mit dem Komponieren, bis zu seinem 18. Geburtstag liegen bereits etwa 140 Stücke, darunter knapp 60 Lieder und über 40 Klavierwerke, vor. 1881 beginnt dann seine steile Karriere mit seinem opus 1, dem Festmarsch für großes Orchester. 1886 tritt Strauss in seiner Heimatstadt München eine Stelle als dritter Kapellmeister an der Hofoper an. Dort hatte er Zeit, sein Repertoire zu vertiefen. In den folgenden vier Jahren entstehen u.a. zahlreiche Lieder, wie das Ständchen op. 17,2, das zusammen mit Von dunklem Schleier umsponnen op. 17,4 und Nicht im Schlafe hab ich das geträumt op. 48,1 beim Carus-Verlag erschien. 1905 und viele Liedkompositionen später, schreibt der bereits gefeierte Richard Strauss auch mit einer Oper Erfolgsgeschichte. Die Opern-Adaption von Oscar Wilds Salome, deren Text Strauss selbst ins Deutsche übersetzte, gilt bei seinen Anhängern als Inbegriff moderner Opernmusik. Personal details
  • The choral conductor, composer and musicologist Clytus Gottwald (1925 - 2023) made significant contributions to contemporary choral music. As editor for New Music at Südfunk Stuttgart and founder and director of the Schola Cantorum Stuttgart, he was in productive exchange with his contemporaries, Pierre Boulez, Mauricio Kagel, György Ligeti, Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen and many others. With his Schola Cantorum, a 16-voice chamber vocal ensemble, Gottwald decisively shaped the a cappella choral culture of the highest technical level that is taken for granted today. Clytus Gottwald's transcriptions of piano songs and instrumental pieces for unaccompanied choir are appreciated by choirs all over the world. Modelled on the style of Ligeti, his works set the highest of musical standards. Clytus Gottwald has received several awards for his services, including the Cultural Prize of Baden-Württemberg in 2009, the European Church Music Prize in 2012, and the Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2014. His importance for the development of contemporary choral music cannot be overestimated. Personal details
