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.

    Voici venir les temps où vibrant sur sa tige
    chaque fleur s’évapore ainsi qu’un encensoir.
    Le ciel est triste.
    Le violon frémit comme un cœur qu’on afflige,
    valse mélancolique.
    Les parfums et les sons tournent dans l’air du soir.
    Valse mélancolique et langoureux vertige,
    ton souvenir en moi luit comme un ostensoir.

    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867), extraits du poème Harmonie du soir

    Die Stunde erscheint, wo auf ihren Stengeln sich biegen
    die Blumen – die Schalen, auf denen ein Weihrauch verpufft.
    Der Himmel ist traurig.
    Die Geige erbebt wie ein Herz, das die Leiden besiegen –
    schwermütiger Walzer.
    Im Abendwinde drehen sich Klang und Duft:
    schwermütiger Walzer und schmerzliches Sichwiegen!
    Dein Andenken blinkt wie ein Feuer durch finstere Luft.

    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867), Auszüge aus dem Gedicht Harmonie du soir
    Deutsche Nachdichtung: Stefan George (1868–1933)

    Now comes the time when swaying on its stem,
    each flower evaporates as in a censer.
    The sky is sad.
    The violin shudders like an afflicted heart,
    waltz melancholy.
    Scents and sounds swirl in the evening air.
    Waltz melancholy and languorous dizziness,
    your memory shines within me like a monstrance.

    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867), excerpts from the poem Harmonie du soir
    Translation: Earl Rosenbaum

Additional product information
  • 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
