Extractions: The music was inspired by a short extract from a traditional melody sung by women cloth-workers in Barra, in the Western Isles of Scotland. The Scottish folk music tradition is one that Weir has frequently drawn on in the past, both in shorter works such as the songs of Scotch Minstrelsy and in her second opera The Vanishing Bridegroom, and it is one she has completely assimilated into her technique. The modal feel of this piece, however, is as much a result of Weir's intuitive and idiomatic harmonic sense as of the original inspiration. The music falls into several very short sections. The opening is essentially one line played by horns, trumpets and strings, which overlap to create a clouded heterophonic texture. The orchestra is then divided into several blocks, which are juxtaposed and overlap. The trumpets lead with their madrigalian rhythms. Next comes some gentle but sonorous chords on the strings which alternate with faster, more nervous figures in the winds.
Extractions: The Consolations of Scholarship is a music drama for solo soprano and ensemble, invented in the style of a Chinese Yüan drama from the 13th/14th century. Yüan dramas are the earliest extant form of Chinese play and they were written and acted by the native Chinese while their country was under the domination of Kublai Khans armies. The plays are simple, robust and cheerful in character but deal with philosophical issues, often satirically. The original performances apparently combined speaking, singing, instrumental interludes and mime. The Consolations of Scholarship makes extensive borrowings from two Yüan dramas (The Orphan of Chao by Chi Chun-hsiang and A Strategem of Interlocking Rings-anon-) as well as from other historical sources, including Mencius,

Extractions: Sie sind hier: REPERTOIRE > Heaven Ablaze In His Breast > E.T.A.-Hoffmann-Projekt Im Kalenderjahr 2002 beginnt das pianopianissimo musiktheater mit einem großen E.T.A.-Hoffmann-Projekt, welches das von internationalen Festivals, im Rundfunk und auch auf CD gefeierte Ensemble traditionsgemäß an seinem Gründungs-, Lieblings- und Hauptspielort einstudiert, in Pflaums Posthotel Pegnitz Im Mittelpunkt dieses Projekts steht die Uraufführung der von Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann im Frühjahr 1807 in Warschau komponierten und im Sommer desselben Jahres in Berlin beendeten Oper »Liebe und Eifersucht« , frei nach Calderóns Lustspiel »Die Schärpe und die Blume«. Das Ensemble startet das Projekt mit der Oper »Heaven Ablaze In His Breast« der britischen Komponistin Judith Weir als deutsche und zugleich deutschsprachige Erstaufführung. Die 1954 in Aberdeen geborene Komponistin hat sich mit ihren Opernstoffen nach Ludwig Thieck, Jeremias Gotthelf und E.T.A. Hoffmann als eine Spezialistin für deutsche Romantik erwiesen. Weirs Hoffmann-Oper ist eine sehr exakte Umsetzung von Hoffmanns Novelle »Der Sandmann« aus dessen »Nachtstücken«: Im zweiten Teil des Abends erklingen dann als veritable Uraufführung Ausschnitte aus der Oper »Liebe und Eifersucht« , die auch szenisch und mit Orchester realisiert werden soll: Enrico steht zwischen den beiden Frauen Lisidia, die er liebt, und Cloris, die ihn liebt; seine Entscheidung vermag Enrico, der mit seinem Diener Ponlevi von einer Reise zurückgekehrt ist, der Dame seines Herzens nicht zu sagen, da sich auch der Herzog in seine Angebetete verliebt hat. Ponlevi versucht die Dienerinn Celia für die Pläne seines Herrn mit einzuspannen, aber auch er kann der Liebe nicht entgehen: Liebe und Eifersucht auf allen Seiten!
