Rückblick auf den Fortschritt
Eine Autobiografie
Jedem, der mit Chorgesang zu tun hat, ist die Schola Cantorum Stuttgart geläufig, jenes Sängerensemble, das in den Jahren 1960–90 über 80 Ur- und Erstaufführungen gesungen hat, z. B. Werke von Schnebel, Kagel, Ligeti, Lachenmann oder Boulez. Darunter waren nicht wenige, die als unsingbar im Archiv verstaubt wären, hätte es die Schola nicht gegeben. Zu Recht wurde Clytus Gottwald, der Leiter dieses legendären Ensembles, nicht nur von der Presse als Vater des modernen Chorgesangs apostrophiert. Den Fortschritt, dem er diente, lässt er in seiner Autobiographie noch einmal Revue passieren.

Clytus Gottwald
| 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
