It characterizes both the sacred and the secular works on this CD: longing for quiet, departing of the beloved, and a romanticized conception of death throughout the lyrics. The Ensemble vox animata's debut gives an idea of the huge spectrum of German a capella music of the 19th c. This implies multi-faceted challenges: from the Lied for choir, various folksong adaptations, narrative romances and ballades to the sacred motet. Soulful singing, eager search for color and expression, and existential enthusiasm are vox animata's mottos on this brief, touching, romantic, choral musical journey.
