Singing and Celebrating Together
[ch]
collection: German, Hebrew (transcribed into Latin letters), Arabic, TurkishAwarded the German Music Edition Prize 2018
Description
Can Jews, Christians, and Muslims share their sacred music with one another? The interreligious songbook Trimum, edited by Bettina Strübel, choir director at the TRIMUM association of the same name, offers a positive answer to this question. Launched as a collaborative project in 2012, an interdisciplinary team set out to find a “music of trialogue” that could be used in everyday interreligious encounters: in kindergartens, schools, intercultural initiatives, or in refugee aid. Trimum contains both unison songs and polyphonic choral pieces, some with chord symbols for instrumental accompaniment and multilingual lyrics. In addition, informational texts and translations accompany the pieces, along with pronunciation guides and an index in the appendix.
For the Arabic pieces, audio samples are also available for download to assist with intonation and pronunciation.

Reviews and Testimonials
„Alle Lieder sind in gut singbaren Fassungen abgedruckt – allein das ist schon ein großes Gewinn angesichts der im arabischen Raum üblichen mündlichen Liedtraditionsweitergabe. Quellenangaben, Druck und Papier sind durchweg vollständig und hochwertig.“
Joachim Ruopp, Newsletter PTZ – Pädagogisches-Theologisches Zentrum
„Hier ist ein Meilenstein. Wir haben so die Möglichkeit zu gemeinsamem Tun. Das Liederbuch will die Religionen nicht gleichschalten. Es gibt uns aber die Möglichkeit, im gemeinsamen Singen Gemeinschaft zu erleben und sich zu achten, ohne viel auf die Unterschiede zu schauen.“
Ute Springer, Kirchenmusik in Westfalen
„Langfristige Konzepte sind gefragt und auch substanzielle Schritte auf dem Weg zu einem brüderlichen Miteinander. Einer dieser Schritte könnte das ,interreligiöse Liederbuch’ sein. [...] ein eminent wichtiges Symbol, gerade in Zeiten, in denen Völkerverständigung längst nicht mehr selbstverständlich erscheint.“
Guido Krawinkel, Chorzeit
„Interreligiösität hat jetzt einen neuen Klang und eine wunderbare Ausdrucksmöglichkeit.“
Ernst-Dietrich Egerer, Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik
