Hugo Wolf set a total of 53 songs by Eduard Mörike all in the year 1888. The composer wrote in a letter: 'Once you have heard this song it can only inspire one wish ? to die.' In the artistic-metaphysical milieu of the late 19th century this was regarded as the highest ideal especially for Hugo Wolf who believed in the body as a ?wretched piano case? from which the soul can only break free like harmonies dying away. And yet 'Fußreise' (Journey on Foot) begins as a simple happy elated song of travel revolving around the key of D major over an ostinato piano rhythm. 'Old Adam' believes he senses the 'bliss of paradise' in this but he continues to be caught in the tensionbetween earthly suffering and eternal longing as the rest of Hugo Wolf's setting clearly shows: it remains a pious hope that a whole life 'would be such a morning journey bathed in gentle perspiration'. These art songs were originally composed not for chamber choir but for solo voice and piano. Denis Rouger has carefully adapted them to suit the requirements and expressive possibilities offered by a larger ensemble without losing the any of the qualities of the original in the process. Each part in the choir has a melodic line drawn from the harmonic and rhythmic framework. In the process the variety and refinement of the choral language combines with an enormous flexibility in form and expression as French melodies or German art song demand from a soloist and pianist. The songs have been recorded by the figure humaine chamber choir on the CD 'Kennst du das Land ...' (Carus 83.495).

a-Moll. Par SCHUNCKE HUGO. An oboe concerto from the romantic era? Embarassingly, due to the small amount of solo literature for the instrument from this period, this question often asked of oboists, must be answerded with a reference to the few small concert pieces and sets of variations available. The A minor Concerto by Hugo Schuncke, who was a musician at the Court of Stuttgart, fills a need. The work consists of three movements: a virtuoso Allegro, a pastorale Andante and a rhythmic, exciting Bolero in rondo form./ Répertoire / Hautbois, 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Hautbois, 2 Cla

The large-scale partitas Op.8 Nos.1 and 2. Hugo Distler studied Organ with Günther Ramin and composition with Hermann Grabner in Leipzig. He then worked as cantor and organist at St. Jacobi in Lübeck and taught composition and Organ at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule from 1937 onwards. In 1940 he took up the same position at the Berlin Musikhochschule and also became director of the Berlin Cathedral Choir in 1941. Considerably influenced by the Lübeck Stellwagen organ at St. Jacobi he championed the characteristic pre-Baroque and Baroque sound of the organ and the forms which best suited it. His stylistic preference was for aspecifically neo-Baroque functional-objective type of sound.
