Hugo Ball was one of the founders of the Zurich Dada movement and wrote this poem for a performance at Zurich’s Cabaret Voltaire in 1916. A nonsense poem its words have no actual meaning merely constituting an absurd sequence of sounds. On 23 June 1916 Ball noted in his diary: Tinvented a new type of poetry “poetry without words” or sound-poems in which the distribution of vowels is decided and allotted solely based on the values of the initial row.’ The performance of his poem to an astonished audience took place in a quasi-sacred atmosphere with Ball delivering his verses in a deliberately over-serious and solemn manner. The intention of this setting is not to mimic the nonsensical nature of the poem but to provide a contextual frame against which the absurdity of the text becomes more and more evident.Hugo Ball was one of the founders of the Zurich Dada movement and wrote this poem for a performance at Zurich’s Cabaret Voltaire in 1916.

It is a true treasure-trove of compositions in various styles and levels of difficulty: with some unknown new discoveries and some classics of the choral literature the selection will enrich both worship and concerts. The 150 psalms of the Old Testament express rejoicing joy and confidence but also lament grief anger and even doubt. The psalms are present throughout Christianity and Judaism to this day and are sung worldwide in countless settings. The Choral Collection Psalms displays the whole stylistic and linguistic variety ranging from contemplative simpleAnglican chant through Russian Orthodox homophony to virtuoso motets with jazzy echoes. The linguistic spectrum is equally broad: English French German (some with added singable English translation) Estonian Icelandic and of course Latin psalm settings are represented as well as works in Church Slavonic and Hebrew (both accompanied by transliterations and a singable German text). The foreword (German/English) offers many hints regarding the performance of the psalm settings and a detailed index will help with choosing appropriate pieces for the liturgical occasion according to the Anglican Protestant or Catholic calendar. Over the last ten years editor Stefan Schuck has performed two psalm compositions every week in his NoonSong series in Berlin. From the resulting 800 works he has selected the most interesting compositions arranged according to level of difficulty. The choral director’s volume includes a CD with recordings of selected works sung by sirventes and conducted by the editor which will help with learning and rehearsing the repertoire.
