Jagende Wolken, blendendes Blau!
[wind quin] 2024/2025 duration: 12' 2trp.Wagner tuba(hn).tbne.tuba
Description
The instrumentation of a brass quintet has the potential to powerfully articulate anger and rebellion. Where language fails, music can act – in a self-contained, never oversimplified form. After all, we are not populists.
And besides: What is the beautiful color blue supposed to do about being misused by politics?
The title is taken from the poem Abklingendes Aprilgewitter (Fading April Thunderstorm) in the second volume of Arno Holz’s magnificent Phantasus (1898/99).
