THE SONG OF THE SUN
The 2024 Hamburg International Music Festival is dedicated to Sofia Gubaidulina, one of the leading composers of the modern age. She was awarded the Praemium Imperiale art prize in 1998, and the Polar Music Prize in 2002. The work of the Russian-Tatar composer, who has been living near Hamburg for decades, is almost always inspired by poetry. She draws on a diverse range of sources, from the ancient Egyptians to contemporary poets. In 1997, Gubaidulina set one of the earliest pieces of Italian literature – Saint Francis of Assisi’s 13th century »Canticle of the Sun«, a song of praise for the creation – to music, for the unusual combination of cello, choir and percussion.

Chorwerk Ruhr, one of Germany’s best choirs, is coming to Hamburg to perform the piece, and the solo part is played by the French star cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras. Francis Poulenc’s 1943 choral work »Figure humaine« follows in the second half of the concert. The polyphonic cantata, which is based on a poem by Paul Éluard, is pervaded by human tragedies of violence and hate, and opens into an ode to freedom.

English

GESANG DER SONNE
Im Internationalen Musikfest Hamburg 2024 ist mit Sofia Gubaidulina einer der führenden Komponistinnen der Moderne ein Schwerpunkt gewidmet. Fast immer ist das Werk der russisch-tatarischen Komponistin, die seit Jahrzehnten in der Nähe von Hamburg lebt, von Dichtung inspiriert. Ihre Quellen sind vielfältig und reichen von den alten Ägyptern bis in die Gegenwart. 1997 vertonte Gubaidulina das älteste Zeugnis italienischer Literatur, den die Schöpfung preisenden »Sonnengesang« des Heiligen Franz von Assisi aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, für die außergewöhnliche Besetzung Cello, Chor und Schlagzeug.

Mit dem Chorwerk Ruhr reist einer der besten Chöre Deutschlands für genau dieses Repertoire an die Elbe. Den Solopart übernimmt der französische Star-Cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras. Dem »Sonnengesang« folgt in der zweiten Hälfte das Chorwerk »Figure humaine« (Menschliches Antlitz) von Francis Poulenc aus dem Jahr 1943. Die vielstimmige Kantate, die auf einem Gedicht von Paul Éluard beruht, durchdringt menschliche Tragödien von Hass und Gewalt und mündet in einer Ode an die Freiheit.
