Description:
Gothic horror in music: This chamber choir miniature in 3/4 time, as entertaining as it is creepy, pays homage to Alban Berg's Wozzeck, which is directly quoted with the line 'Ein schöner Mord, ein guter Mord' [A beautiful murder, a good murder]. The composer adds a myriad of imaginative English text snippets on the theme of 'head off, knife out, heart beats, lights out' etc. There is vocal trembling, firing, stammering, always restless and on a knife edge - even the scratching sound of real blades is used. A virtuoso treat with which vocal ensembles in the proper mood can bring any after-programme to a crowning finale!
