Description:
The work is based on a ballad by Paul Heyse, which describes in vivid verse how a Moorish army, while marching through the Pyrenees, is suddenly overcome by nostalgia for home 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.
