Nach Gedichten von Hermann Hesse. Composed by Ursula Mamlok. Book Only. Composed 2018. Bote & Bock #BB3359. Published by Bote & Bock (BT.BB3359).ISBN 9783793140450.
After emigrating from Berlin at the age of 16, the Jewish composer Ursula Mamlok wrote Four German Songs in 1958 while studying at the Manhattan School of Music. Based on texts from Hermann Hesse's collection Vom Baum desLebens, the songs reflect the uprooting from home. Mamlok juxtaposes Hesse's melancholy with an intensive tonal image which proceeds from expressionism with short motifs and tonal transgression, yet ventures into new spheres ofexpression.
