Description:
Ludwig van Beethoven was already so revered during his lifetime that his contemporaries arranged his music - mostly the well-known instrumental works - for choir. Such choral settings were even performed at Beethoven's funeral. Subsequent generations have dealt creatively with his oeuvre in a similar way. The renowned arranger Ludwig Böhme, co-founder of the Calmus Ensemble and artistic director of the Windsbach Boys' Choir, continues this tradition by transforming the slow movement of the piano sonata "Pathétique" into a choral piece. The text is based on Francisca Stoecklin's poem "Nachtlied" (1925), which interweaves the tranquillity of nature in the evening with subtle Christmas echoes. A surprising addition to the Christmas concert!
