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.

    So spricht Gott, der Ewige, der den Himmel erschaffen
    und ihn ausgespannt hat,
    der die Erde ausgedehnt hat mit ihren Sprösslingen,
    der Atem gibt allen Geschöpfen auf ihr.
    Ich, der Ewige, ich berufe dich zum Heil.
    Ich schütze dich und fasse deine Hand.
    Ich setze dich zum Volk meines Bundes,
    zum Licht von Nationen,
    um blinde Augen zu öffnen,
    um die Gefesselten aus dem Kerker herauszuführen,
    die Bewohner der Finsternis aus dem Gefängnis.

    Licht! Es werde Licht!

    Moses Mendelssohn, aus der Tora, und Haftarat Bereschit

    Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens,
    and stretched them out;
    he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it;
    he that giveth breath unto the people upon it:
    I the Lord have called thee in righteousness,
    and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee,
    and give thee for a covenant of the people,
    for a light of the Gentiles;
    to open the blind eyes,
    to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
    and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

    Light! There shall be light!

    Moses Mendelssohn, from the Torah, and Haftarat Bereschit

    Ainsi parle Dieu, Yahvé, qui a créé les cieux
    et les a étendus,
    fondé la terre avec ce qu’elle produit,
    donné la respiration au peuple qui la recouvre.
    Moi, l’Éternel, je t’ai appelé pour une œuvre de justice.
    Je t’ai protégé et je t’ai saisi par la main.
    Je t’ai façonné et placé pour être l’alliance du peuple,
    la lumière des nations,
    pour ouvrir les yeux des aveugles,
    pour faire sortir de prison les captifs,
    du cachot les habitants des ténèbres.

    Lumière ! Que la lumière soit !

    Moses Mendelssohn, dela Tora, et Haftarat Bereschit

Additional product information
  • As Kapellmeister to Prince Esterházy, Haydn composed numerous instrumental works and various operas, as well as making important contributions to the genre of church music, including fourteen Latin masses, of which only twelve are authentic or complete; these are complemented by motets and offertories, two important Te Deum settings, two Salve Reginas, a Stabat Mater, and the different versions of the Sieben Worte des Erlösers am Kreuze. The masses were composed continually between 1749 and 1802, except for the years 1783–1795, and therefore constitute the genre with which Haydn was occupied over the longest period of time. The six (authentic or complete) masses composed before 1782 are stylistically very different, and as well as short Missae breves there are more extended masses with rich orchestral scoring; by contrast the six so-called late masses, written from 1796 onwards, form a comparatively homogeneous group of more extensive works scored for large forces. With his two great oratorios Die Schöpfung (The Creation) (1798) and Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons) (1801) Haydn established the tradition of the German oratorio for middle-class music making. Personal details
  • 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
