As a barely 18-year-old, Friedrich Hölderlin wrote the monumental poem "Die Bücher der Zeiten." Inspired by the biblical Revelation, Hölderlin narrates the "horrors of mankind," redemption through Christ, mankind's achievements, and their just reward. Mike Svoboda entrusts the proclamation of this apocalyptic vision to three female voices, echoing mythological figures like the Norns. The singers weave the text into intricate sounds, highlighting words from the biblical imagery. Svoboda expands the vocal trio to a quartet with trombone, emphasizing the poem's archaic sounds. The percussionist handles dry birch twigs, water, and gravel. At 8:30 pm and following: Meet the Star at the Bar.
