Das letzte Gold verfallener Sterne : for soprano and ensemble, 2002 / poem: Georg Trakl, Christina Viola Oorebeek

(librettist)
Description:
Program note (English): The poem 'An den Knaben Elis' contains evocative images and scenes, in which nature and color play an important role. In that world created by Georg Trakl, I discovered a story of transformation, in which memories of loss and finiteness are transmuted into otherworldly, transparent moments. The music is written in a series of 'panels', one for each line of text. Some panel reappear a number of times, others less often. When one of these musical fragments reappears, there is always some variation, so that a musical fabric is woven of remembrance and transmutation. - CHRISTINA VIOLA OOREBEEK
