Drei Epigramme nach Bertolt Brecht (2014)

I. Daß sie da waren
II. Afrika
III. Den kleinen Bruder

The Drei Epigramme nach Bertolt Brecht (Three Epigrams after Bertolt Brecht) were created for a project at the Augsburg Brecht Festival, where one evening was dedicated to staging the War Primer in its entirety. The 69 photographs were projected and Brecht’s corresponding four-line poems recited by actress Rike Schmid or performed by choir, soloists, and piano. In addition to the performance of existing compositions by Hanns Eisler and Paul Dessau, Augsburg-based composers (in addition to myself, Richard Heller, Michael Kamm, Wolfgang Lackerschmid, and Tom Simonetti) were invited to set individual epigrams to music.

lyrics

Daß sie da waren

Daß sie da waren, gab ein Rauch zu wissen:
Des Feuers Söhne, aber nicht des Lichts.
Und woher kamen sie? Aus Finsternissen.
Und wohin gingen sie von hier? Ins Nichts.

Afrika

Die Herren raufen um dich, schöne Schöpfung,
Und rasend stoßen sie sich aus den Schuh’n.
Denn jeder rühmt sich kundiger der Schröpfung
Und mehr im Rechte, dir Gewalt zu tun.

Den kleinen Bruder

Den kleinen Bruder deines Feindes trag
Uns aus der Schlacht, in die sie dich da senden.
Soldat, mit deinem Sohn zusammen mag
Er einst besprechen, wie die Kriege enden.
