(SW1003)
The Goethe-text is set to music here as part of a good 10-minute celebration music for choir and orchestra, which composed especially for the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Goethe University Frankfurt and premiered. The work is still universal and thus is suitable as a musical frame for very different solemn occasions.
Musically, it is always "close to the text" composed of choir part nestles perfectly to the words of the text, the large orchestra with "triple wood" and "heavy metal" is treated always subtle and differentiated despite the festive character, the sound effect is impressive and almost conveys cosmic impression.
