Herbsttag. Girl's Choir a cappella. Composed by Peter EÃtvÃs. For Choral. Choral. Softcover. 12 pages. Hal Leonard #SKR20077. Published by Hal Leonard. HL.49019431. This six-minute madrigal setting was commissioned by the renowned Hanover Girls' Choir and composed on the basis of one of Rainer Maria Rilke's profound poems. It begins as a thanksgiving prayer. for the summer, for the autumn fruits. But the first winds bring along the fear of the cold and loneliness of winter. 'Whoever is alone now will remain so for a long time, will stay up, read, write long letters. Eötvös lets the poem unfold twice, each time in a different way, thus intensifying the reflection. The tonality is treated freely, and the choral setting extends the underlying five-part texture, in which the choir's soloists create striking echoes, up to eight-part passages.
