Clytus Gottwald’s sophisticated arrangements for chorus a cappella have very successfully established themselves in the choral repertoire all over the world. In his choral transcriptions, Gottwald applies the vocal compositional techniques of contemporary music, which he studied as the long-standing director of the Schola Cantorum, to traditional compositions, using the highly differentiated sound to reveal the structures of these works.

Je pleure, je pleurerai toujours.
Sous la tombe elle emporte
mon âme et mes amours.Dans le ciel sans m’attendre,
elle s’enretourna.
L’ange qui l’emmena
ne voulut pas me prendre.Que mon sort est amer !
Ah ! sans amour s’en aller sur la mer !La blanche créature
est couchée au cercueil....

Mir ist mein Lieb gestorben,
Tränen nur blieben mir,
all mein Glück ist verdorben,
es starb mein Herz mit ihr.Schön’rem Stern, licht’rem Strahle

und der Engel Ruh

und ihr Herz schlägt nicht mehr,...

My fair love is dead.
I cry, I will cry forever.
She took with her in the grave
my soul and my love.She is in heaven, come home
without waiting for me.
The angel who took her,
did not want to take me.How bitter my fate!
Oh! To set out to sea without love!The pale creature
is bedded in her coffin....

| 1925-2023The choral conductor, composer and musicologist Clytus Gottwald (1925 - 2023) made significant contributions to contemporary choral music. As editor for New Music at Südfunk Stuttgart and founder and director of the Schola Cantorum Stuttgart, he was in productive exchange with his contemporaries, Pierre Boulez, Mauricio Kagel, György Ligeti, Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen and many others. With his Schola Cantorum, a 16-voice chamber vocal ensemble, Gottwald decisively shaped the a cappella choral culture of the highest technical level that is taken for granted today. Clytus Gottwald's transcriptions of piano songs and instrumental pieces for unaccompanied choir are appreciated by choirs all over the world. Modelled on the style of Ligeti, his works set the highest of musical standards. Clytus Gottwald has received several awards for his services, including the Cultural Prize of Baden-Württemberg in 2009, the European Church Music Prize in 2012, and the Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2014. His importance for the development of contemporary choral music cannot be overestimated. Personal details
