Description:
The music of 'Eclipse Finale?' is a fantasy on the well-known German folk song 'Der Mond ist aufgegangen' (The moon has risen). 'Eclipse finale?' is a piece which presents the age-old fear that the moon will not rise again. The tuba, as in an opera, plays a dramatic role representing humanity, which is questioning the frightening destruction of the nature and the environment. This one-movement piece consists of free variations on a folk song. The theme develops from an introduction made up of elements based on the melody, and then progressively is transformed until the end, where the tuba presents a brutal caricature of the principal theme. The dying away of the tympani tremolo poses the question: has mankind already destroyed the environment (symbolized hereby the moon)? Jost Meier
