Pierrot Populaire @Bielefeld
20.January 2024 | 20:00
The wine you drink with your eyes,
at night the moon pours down in waves.
Ensemble Recherche and soprano Sarah Maria Sun invite you along on their search for the folk roots of Arnold SchoÌnbergâs Pierrot Lunaire â and for an exploration of the moon motif in classical music and pop culture. Intertwined with SchoÌnbergâs melodrama are arrangements of songs like âFly me to the Moonâ, âMoon Riverâ and âDancing in the Moonlightâ, as well as perennial classical works like Debussyâs âClair de Luneâ or Beethovenâs âMoonlight Sonataâ. So we roam together through nocturnal alleyways and enter into spiritual reverie â sometimes in the pale moonlight, sometimes dazzlingly illuminated.
With works by
Arnold Schönberg, Max Kowalski (Arr. Johannes Schöllhorn), Henri Mancini (Arr. Clemens K. Thomas), Claude Debussy (Arr. Lucia Kilger), Mike Oldfield (Arr. Georgia Kumarå), Ludwig van Beethoven (Arr. Kathrin Denner), Bart Howard (Arr. Eivind Buene) und Sherman Kelly (Arr. Matias VestergÄrd).
