Composed in
1976, the piano work
'Litaniae alla cinque' of
the composer from Cologne
refers to the famous
fifth chapter of the
Epistle of James in which
the vanity of riches is
described in drastic
words: 'Come now, you
rich people, weep and
wail for the miseries
that are coming to you.
Your riches have rotted,
and your clothes are
moth-eaten. Your gold and
silver have rusted, and
their rust will be
evidence against you, and
it will eat your flesh
like fire.' Putz
musically incorporated
the formal structure of
the litany with its
stereotypical repetitions
and prayer formulas and
used chants and bell
sounds, thus creating an
unusual and impressive
piece for piano - a plea
for more justice in the
world.
