Composer
Peter Cornelius
| 1824-1874Peter Cornelius, born in Mainz in 1824, died there in 1874. Son of an actors' couple. Initially also took up this profession, but then studied counterpoint with S. Dehn in Berlin from 1844 to 1846. His church music dates mainly from this period and from the years after 1852, when he went to Liszt in Weimar, who encouraged his work as a church composer. Cornelius became one of the most important pioneers of the New German School. He followed Wagner to Munich in 1865, where he worked as a composition teacher at the newly founded Royal School of Music from 1867 on. Today, his opera ‘Der Babier von Bagdad’ (1858) and his ‘Weihnachtslieder’ op. 8 are particularly well known. Personal details

Cornelius, Peter: Die drei Frühlingstage
Cornelius, Peter: Die drei Frühlingstage
Dass nicht nur Brahms in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts tolle, sechsstimmige Chorsätze schreiben konnte, belegt diese rhythmisch mitreißende (6/8-Takt inklusive Schluss-Stretta) und harmonisch interessante Vertonung des Rückert-Gedichtes „Jugend, Rausch und liebe sind gleich drei schönen Frühlingstagen”. Wer solcher Sinnlichkeit Ohr und Stimmen widmen mag, nur zu! Hier kann ein (guter) Chor das pralle Leben erfahren.

„Jugend. Rausch und Liebe sind gleich drei schönen Frühlingstagen” (Friedrich Rückert), die es hemmungslos zu genießen gilt. Tatsächlich scheinen sich die Ausführenden in einen Rausch steigern zu müssen, wie es die Tempovorschriften verlangen: „Bewegt - Ein wenig belebter - schneller - Immer schneller - Sehr schnell”. Dieser melodienselige muntere Reigen ist jedenfalls allen Freunden weltlicher Chormusik dringend zu empfehlen.
