Male Chorus – TBB
A short 3-part male choir after Mörike from 1970, whose modernity seems to be rooted in the archaic: the conspicuously flowing triple movement clearly points to the "tempus perfectum" in mensural music, as does the melodic style and the strict linearity in its peculiarly modal harshness to refer to similar appearances in early music, which of course also shows how deeply reflects the almost already into clerical spheres coming text in the composition. A short, not at all ordinary, but nevertheless "round thing", far from any "Liedertafel sentimentality".
