Martin Völlinger

Walliser Messe "häärzwärts"

Häärzwärts, written in the Swiss Valais, is on the one hand a complete mass for church services and religious celebrations, and on the other a collection of soulful choral songs that can also be performed individually or in individual combinations in a secular setting. Due to the variable scoring options (choir and piano, additional instruments such as flute, clarinet, double bass, percussion ad lib.), the work can be used in a variety of ways and is ideally suited for numerous occasions! Martin Völlinger combines folk, classical and jazzy-pop echoes to create a very personal, emotional and immediately catchy musical language. The simple, touching lyrics by Marie-Elisabeth Hischier-Borter (in Valais dialect or High German) address highs and lows and pose questions about life and the hereafter, to which there is ultimately only one simple, clear answer: think from the heart, act from the heart.

The HELBLING Media App (personal access code in the booklet) contains the instrumental parts (piano for a performance with several instruments, flute, clarinet, double bass and percussion) as a PDF for printing. The choir parts are included in the choir and piano edition (HELBL371131114) (minimum order quantity 10 copies)
