CONCERT 2018 | THE SERIES

Nada Brahma: The world is sound. What mankind has produced is collected and condensed into ‘what is remembered’ (smrti); divine revelation, however, is absorbed through the ear and becomes ‘what is heard’ (śruti). This also includes the content of the sacred Vedic writings (Veda: Sanskrit for ‘knowledge’), the oldest testimonials of Indian literature, a tradition which, for many centuries, was kept alive only orally, and which goes back to the time around 1750 BC. They form the root of Hinduism, which has, however, become far more differentiated since then, forming the third-largest world religion with around 900 million followers. The question whether Hinduism is a polytheist or a monotheist religion cannot be answered unambiguously. Certainly, music played an important role even in the very beginnings of this religion whose teachings are the whisperings of the divine, so to speak. The Sāmaveda contains the ‘heard’ knowledge of the melodies through which priests make the holy texts resound. Furthermore, in cultic dance with its complex, precisely defined positions of hands, fingers and feet as well as postures, performers are transformed into visible manifestations of the divinity, visualising Shiva’s dance, for example, containing the powers of creation and destruction in equal measure. The music, songs, dance and even theatre of Hinduism can be experienced as part of the 2015 Ouverture spirituelle: it features, for example, the rare theatrical form of Kutiyattam; dhrupad chants of august strictness, unlike the more flexible khyal style; an early morning concert of ragas – the scales or rather ‘sound personalities’ on which Indian music is based – associated with this time of the day; and highly expressive temple dances.

Just as the music of Hinduism is grounded in the Vedas, many of the Christian mass settings united in this year’s Ouverture spirituelle – settings which remained more or less beholden to polyphony through the centuries – have historical relations all the way back to the beginnings of Christian cultic chants: for example the Missa solemnis, in which Beethoven united all the styles from Gregorian chant to his own contemporary form of multi-voiced praise of God. Then there is Bach’s multi-faceted Mass in B minor, presumably conceived by its composer as no more than a selection of individual movements to be used in various sacred settings. Mozart’s ambitious fragment in C minor, oriented towards the baroque, Schubert’s Mass in A-flat major, gazing into romantic depths, and Bruckner’s Mass in F minor, referencing Beethoven’s monumental model – these are not only outstanding works in the genre, but they also illustrate an enormous development. Palestrina’s grandiose vocal polyphony and Bach’s Musical Offering – worldly, yet with a transcendent aura – round out the programme, which presents a finale of sorts, a retrospective of the world religions introduced in sound over the past years: after all, Haydn’s Creation, which has already become the beloved opening for every Ouverture spirituelle, instructs us to ‘Awake the harp, the lyre awake!’
