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