Michael Schneider
Rubin (2001)

Instrumentation: for string orchestra

Beguiling musical fragments of the duet "Sancta mater istud agas" from Pergolesi's Stabat Mater emerge from the musical flow... intrumented anew, they are found at the original position in the score, while the passages between the duet are "filled" with new ciphers/gestures over the Stabat Mater motive. The tonal material is developed from and leads to this original quote. Short episodes by the solo violin and string quartet serve to remind of an over-the-top concerto manner, which was pointed out by contemporary critics in Pergolesi's Stabat Mater. The "newly composed" movement in its original length is framed by symbolic parts. At the beginning stands an "inclined plane" of Pergolesi fragments, which is penetrated "cross like" by a rising bourdon. The 2 x 7 "accents" of the coda represent the 14 Stations of the Cross.

EIS EROTA (2002)

Instrumentation: for soprano, baritone, horn, two trumpets, trombone, percussion and strings

Texts: Altgriechisch

Sappho and Alkaios from the isle of Lesbos are amongst the most prestigious representatives of Greek lyrics strongly connected with the Orpheus saga. After the heavenly singer has lost his beloved Eurydice to the underworld and, spurned by his endless mourning, he seeks the love of other women. Bacchante tear him to pieces in an angry rage and cast his head into the sea. The tide washes it onto the shores of Lesbos - here his mouth is once again brought to speech by the lyric of the island.
Mythological notions merge with personal experience and sufferance in connection with the erotic. Eros is the 'weirdest God' (Alkaois) whose effect is to rip open the abyss between the highest fulfilment and the degeneration towards death. The elemental force with which he encompasses man awakes in him an orpheic longing for immortality and the desire to overcome the underworld; simultaneously bringing even more painfully the forlornness of his wish to consciousness. While Alkaios attempts to forget in wild drunkenness and sexual indulgence, we eavesdrop on Sappho, and the dark tones of a wish for love in which pain resonates with the transient.
EIS EROTA combines fragments from both poets to produce a dialogue on the subject of love and death.

Componimento (1974-1976)

Instrumentation: for organ, strings (min. 12.12.10.8.6) and four percussion instruments

The title here comes from Gottlieb Muffat's (1690-1770) 'Componimenti Musicale'. In this piece two rather contrasting movements are set against each other (chamber musical registration and 'Pleno' effects, combine agile percussion and string figuration with long held single notes with chords, strict structures with improvisatory elements, and various blends of organ and orchestral sound).

Concerto grosso (1998)

This work consists of three movements: 'D'alcuna stella adorno', 'Un'estranea dolcezza', 'E fra l'onde agitata' (quotations by Torquato Tasso). Every instrument has a separate part. The whole carries with it the spirit of the baroque concerto grosso. The work is of a medium to advanced level of difficulty but devoid of special effects.

Naturtonreihen (mit dem heute eher ungewohnten ‘Alphorn-Fa’ - gespielt mit Naturhörnern und Naturtrompeten), Alphornmelodik und Innerschweizer Betrufmotive bilden das
Basismaterial zu dieser Collage für Chor und Orchester. Getreue Wiedergaben (z.B. der vollständige Schrattenfluh-Betruf durch die 2. Trompete) kommen ebenso vor wie Improvisationen über bestimmte Tonvorräte. Beim Eingangschor handelt sich um die Vertonnung des Psalms 91,1 : Wer unter dem Schirm des Höchsten wohnt, wer im Schatten des Allmächtigen ruht, der darf sprechen zum Herrn: ‘Meine Zuflucht, meine Feste, mein Gott, auf den ich vertraue.’ Der längere rein instrumentale Mittelteil mündet in gewohnte Tonalität, und den Abschluss bildet der Bach'sche Choral BWV 13: „Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan“.
