Description:
The work is based on a ballad by Paul Heyse, which, in powerful verses, describes how a Moorish army, while marching through the Pyrenees, is suddenly overcome by nostalgia for its homeland and, at that very moment, falls victim to a Basque ambush. With its resonant choral arrangement, its colorful orchestration, and its subtle interpretation of the text through motivic cross-references, Rheinberger’s setting effectively brings the story to life.
