Description:
Quaere Me (Seek Me) is a multilingual psalm that emphasizes the presence of the divine in all things. The inclusion of the Latin language ties in with the long history of the church and locates the psalm in the context of traditional liturgical practice – albeit with a surprising twist on the familiar "Gloria Patri". The style of the poem is inspired by the 13th-century Persian mystic and poet Jalaluddin Rumi; the music interprets the text as a blissful, liturgical dance movement.
The choral scene is colourful. This diversity is enriched by numerous contemporary compositions, which fortunately increasingly find their way into concert programmes. In addition to works that can be attributed to the avant-garde, there are pieces with folk music influences, and still others move between different styles. The new Bärenreiter series "Contemporary Choral Works" brings together high-quality contemporary choral works. Just as the pieces have a wide stylistic range, the instrumentations are also different – but all a cappella. The technical requirements vary, but even the more demanding compositions are tried and tested and do not pose any extraordinary challenges.
