Description:
For his composition "Die mit Schiffen auf dem Meer", Christoph Schönherr chose the dramatic depiction of a sea storm from the extensive Psalm 107. God saves the sailors in distress and finally leads them safely back to land. The musical realization of the sea storm is framed by hymns of thanksgiving and praise to God.
The composer says of the creative process: "I was particularly interested in musically realizing the different sides of the sea. It can be calming, convey a feeling of freedom in its vastness, actually bring freedom as an escape route, but for some it can also bring death."
The psalm setting conclusively combines church music tradition with the fascinating sound possibilities of the big band instrumentation. Among other things, "fat" 12/8 grooves and Latin rhythms are used with stylistic confidence.
The work can be performed well together with the "Missa ad maiorem Dei gloriam" by Wolfram Buchenberg (Carus 28.010) due to its identical instrumental scoring.
