Zehm, Friedrich: Der Pfennig

"Kommt Kunst gegangen vor ein Haus"

Madrigal nach einem anonymen Text des 15. Jahrhunderts

“When Art appears before your door” Madrigal based on an anonymous text from the 15th Century for mixed choir a cappella (1975) Even a few years after the introduction of the Euro, the essence of this text is still relevant today: “If you’ve got a penny on you, doors and gates will open to you”. The rather simple and restrained, sonorous piece builds up at this point to a highly effective virtuoso stretto. Eminently suitable for competitions and examination performances.
