In his Hommage à Beethoven, Damijan Mocnik has set Schiller’s the well-known text, which Beethoven used in his brilliant final chorus 200 years ago, a work which still represents shared joy and thanks, as well as protest. There are just a few isolated sequences of notes in the piano or choir in this monumental work which blaze forth through the thrilling use of percussion. This game of association with Beethoven makes this musical homage especiallly exciting.
