Drei Stücke mit Texten von Christian Morgenstern
für Blockflöte solo (2014) - Tiefe Fassung
(Bass-, Großbass- und Tenorblockflöte)
Three Pieces with lyrics by Christian Morgenstern
for Solo Recorder (2014) - Low Version
(Bass, Great Bass and Tenor Recorders)
1. Das Gebet / The Prayer
2. Das Mondschaf / The Moonsheep
3. Das aesthetische Wiesel / The Aesthetic Weasel
Markus Zahnhausen (Blockflöte / Recorder)
München, 20.12.2014
http://www.zahnhausen.com
1. DAS GEBET
Die Rehlein beten zur Nacht,
hab acht!
Halb neun!
Halb zehn!
Halb elf!
Halb zwölf!
Zwölf!
Die Rehlein beten zur Nacht,
hab acht!
Sie falten die kleinen Zehlein,
die Rehlein.
2. DAS MONDSCHAF
Das Mondschaf steht auf weiter Flur,
es harrt und harrt der großen Schur.
Das Mondschaf.
Das Mondschaf rupft sich einen Halm
und geht dann heim auf seine Alm.
Das Mondschaf.
Das Mondschaf spricht zu sich im Traum:
Ich bin des Weltalls dunkler Raum.
Das Mondschaf.
Das Mondschaf liegt am Morgen tot.
Sein Leib ist weiß,
die Sonn' ist rot.
Das Mondschaf.
3. DAS AESTHETISCHE WIESEL
Ein Wiesel
saß auf einem Kiesel
inmitten Bachgeriesel.
Wisst ihr weshalb?
Das Mondkalb verriet es mir im Stillen:
Das raffinierte Tier
tat's um des Reimes Willen.
1. THE PRAYER
The does, as the hour grows late,
med-it-ate;
med-it-nine:
med-i-ten;
med-eleven;
med-twelve;
mednight!
The does, as the hour grows late,
meditate.
They fold their little toesies,
the doesies.
2. THE MOONSHEEP
The Moonsheep cropped the Furthest Clearing,
Awaiting patiently the Shearing.
The Moonsheep.
The Moonsheep munched some grass and then
Turned leisurely back to its Pen.
The Moonsheep.
Asleep, the Moonsheep dreamt he was
The Universal Final Cause.
The Moonsheep.
Morning came. The sheep was dead.
His corpse was white, the Sun was red.
The moonsheep.
3. THE AESTHETIC WEASEL
A weasel
perched on an easel
within a patch of teasel.
But why
and how?
The Moon Cow
whispered her reply
one time:
The sopheest-
icated beest
did it just for the rhyme.

This little Encore piece, written in 2011, bears the subtitle "73 Notes for Atli Heimir Sveinsson" - an eye-twinkling dedication to my Icelandic composer friend. It belongs to my ADESSO series of miniature pieces consisting of exactly the number of notes of the dedicatee's age. Quite a challenge.

First Performance, Munich, April 28th 2013.
António Carrilho

Markus Zahnhausen
The poetic idea behind this piece is this wonderful Haiku by Matsuo Bashō:
The passing spring,
Birds mourn,
Fish weep
With tearful eyes.
This endlessly melancholic yet beautiful trio is dedicated to the loving memory of my dear friend, the famous Icelandic composer Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson, who left this world in late January this year.
