Wolfram Buchenberg Dum medium silentium. Choral works

Wolfram Buchenberg, né en 1962 à Engelbolz (Oberallgäu), a étudié la musique scolaire et la composition au Conservatoire supérieur de musique et de théâtre de Munich avec le professeur Dieter Acker, auprès duquel il a également suivi la classe de maître. Depuis 1988, Wolfram Buchenberg enseigne le piano à l'école au Conservatoire supérieur de musique et de théâtre de Munich.

Wolfram Buchenberg est l'un des compositeurs contemporains les plus demandés. Son œuvre de composition comprend des œuvres de genres et de styles très variés, allant du solo à la pièce pour orchestre, de la comédie musicale à la messe. Un grand nombre de compositions commandées par des églises, des festivals, des orchestres et des ensembles renommés, comme le Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, témoignent de la grande qualité de son travail artistique.

Il se sent particulièrement lié à la musique chorale. Cela se traduit par une grande quantité d'arrangements et de compositions, notamment pour chœur mixte. Sa musique est désormais omniprésente sur la scène chorale internationale. Le langage sonore de Buchenberg, à la fois moderne et tonal, se caractérise par des harmonies colorées, des éléments solistes, l'intégration de textes parlés et la rupture des structures rythmiques traditionnelles.
