Read and write feedback
For the 200th anniversary of Clara Schumann’s birth in 2019, Clytus Gottwald has added to her small output of original choral works with skilful transcriptions of three of the composer’s songs for voice and piano, arranged for six-part unaccompanied chorus.

The three songs were written in the first years of her marriage to Robert. In 1840 she composed the two Heine settings, Ihr Bildnis and Volkslied. The Rückert setting Liebst du um Schönheit was written in 1841.

    Ich stand in dunkeln Träumen

    Ich stand in dunklen Träumen
    und starrt ihr Bildnis an,
    und das geliebte Antlitz
    heimlich zu leben begann.

    Um ihre Lippen zog sich
    ein Lächeln wunderbar,
    und wie von Wehmutstränen
    erglänzte ihr Augenpaar.

    Auch meine Tränen flossen
    mir von den Wangen herab,
    und ach, ich kann’s nicht glauben,
    dass ich dich verloren hab!

    I stood in darkness dreaming

    I stood in darkness dreaming
    and stared upon her portrait,
    and that beloved face
    secretly came to life.

    About her lips there played
    a smile so wondrous,
    and as in wistful tears
    her pair of eyes, they gleamed.

    And my tears did also flow
    down upon my cheeks,
    and alas, I cannot believe,
    that I have lost you.

  • The 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
