"Seit Jahrhunderten hat die abendländische Musik geistliche Messen hervorgebracht - teils basierend auf religiöser Überzeugung, teils die bewährte sakrale Tradition fortschreibend. Einem solchen Werk begegnet die Missa de homine mit einem zeitgenössischen und gegensätzlichen Zugriff: "Nicht Gott, sondern der sterbliche Mensch mit seinen positiven wie negativen Eigenschaften steht im Mittelpunkt."

Der Cantate Basel Kammerchor brachte die Missa de homine im Wechsel mit Joseph Haydns Harmoniemesse zur Uraufführung.

Texts: Max E. Keller

Three aspects of the 1968 movement in three sections: The USA War against Northern Vietnam caused worldwide protestation, which led in 1975 to the beaten withdrawal of the Americans. Today's united Vietnam is a thriving country and a rich source of mineral deposits. The Shah's visit to Berlin in June 1967 and the shooting of a protesting student by police triggered a further youth revolt in 1968. The Shah was soon forced to stand down and the Islamists picked up the sceptre in a dubious success. In its widest sense, the then ideal of a self-determined yet solidly life gave way to a new conformism and apathy and a bureaucratically regulated society. This setting does not make use of today's ready-made pop idiom, but explores a rather more independent, colourful and diversified musical implementation of this unconventional instrumentation. Voice and recorder often move on different levels by reacting to different textual dimensions. This sound world thus reflects the spontaneity, fantasy and abandon of 68 without the superficial duplication of the textual content.

"Silence, ça pousse!" ist der Titel einer Ratgebersendung zur Gartenpflege von TV France 5. Zum anderen geht es im übertragenen Sinne darum, inwieweit man allgemein in selbständig wachsende Prozesse eingreifen soll oder sich darauf beschränken möchte, zuzusehen oder zuzuhören. So heisst es bereits in der skandinavischen "Snorra Edda" um 1220: "Er kann auch hören, dass das Gras auf der Erde und die Wolle auf den Schafen wächst, sowie überhaupt alles, was einen Laut von sich gibt."
