Composer, pianist and ensemble director Viola Kramer conceived her work Mutter Erde (Mother Earth) as a circle song. This is an open compositional concept that offers choir directors a great deal of freedom in performance. For example, sections of the text can be sung in other languages, either simultaneously or successively. Circle songs are usually improvisational and designed as a loop. The work can be understood as a construction kit made up of various building blocks, i.e. text passages. While the order of the building blocks is fixed, the number of repetitions (loops) can be chosen by the choir director. Additional elements can also be integrated such as body percussion or other noises. The result is an extremely flexible work that fosters individual creativity! - An exciting discovery for both youth and adult choirs - Current topic “Our Voice for Our Planet” - Circle song can be structured creatively - Prize-winning entry in the youth choir category at the "females featured" composition competition of the Baden-Württemberg Choir Academy 2023.
