Instrumentation: for soprano and piano

Texts: Christian Morgenstern

Comparable to Alban Berg - whose 'Sieben frühe Lieder' also shine through on a musical level - Heinz Holliger searched over many years for quixotic songs of youth, adapted them a shade and scored them for orchestra. Despite their use in this edition as a reduction for piano, their original purpose is still apparent: a further building block in the great tradition of the German 'Klavierlied'.

Heinz Holliger has developed and influenced 20th century oboe playing like no other. His early oboe sonata is not only a virtuosic cabinet piece for concert and composition, the 'Capriccio' exhibits a high contrapuntal art and the 'Aria' deep sentiment.

Three nocturnes

Instrumentation: version for orchestra (2(2pic).2.2(bcl).2(cbn)/3.3.2.1/perc(

The three nocturnes for piano were written in 1961. Although the three pieces (based on poems by Georg Trakl) were created for the specific characteristics of piano sound, I tried in 1963 to transpose this "Elis" music to an orchestra (it turned out to be a preliminary work for my scenic project "Der magische Tänzer" 1963/65). Next to a well differentiated organisation of tone colours, I put the main focus on getting the important pedal-resonances of the piano version into the score. I also made a version for orchestra of the 2nd nocturne in 1973 and tried to simplify the metric structure (originating from the use of Indian rhythms) of all three pieces.
The following lines from Georg Trakl's "Elis" poems stand as a motto before the three pieces:
I. "Elis, wenn die Amsel im
Schwarzen Walde ruft,
Dieses ist dein Untergang."
(aus "An den Knaben Elis")
II. "Blaue Tauben
Trinken nachts den eisigen
Schweiß
Der von Elis' kristalliner Stirne
Rinnt."
(aus "Elis II")
III. "Ein goldener Kahn
Schaukelt, Elis, dein Herz am
Einsamen Himmel."
(aus "Elis I")
