Xmas 2021: "S​ü​ß​er die Glocken" - mal anders (r077)

by Reinhold Behringer

about

This recording was inspired by the German Christmas song "Süßer die Glocken nie klingen". Mudivsl themes and motives from this song are interwoven with darker elements and create a representation of our fractured world. Elements from the traditional shmalzy Christmas chords and harmonies are bent into dissonances, but miracurously they alwazs dissolve into harmonies.

Originally I composed this for Christmas 2001, but it seems to fit also very well to our current Covid-19 / Corona world.

Rendition and recording created with Garritan Personal Orchestra 5.

Diese Aufnahme wurde inspiriert durch das Weihnachstlied "Süßer die Glocken nie klingen". Die musikalischen Themen und Motive aus diesem Lied sind zusammen mti dunkleren Elementen verwoben und schaffen eine Repräsentation unserer gebrochenen und gespaltenen Welt. Elemente der traditionell schmalzigen Weihnachtsklänge und -Harmonien sind zu Dissonanzen verbogen, die sich allerdings immer wie durch Zauber in Harmonien auflösen.

Die Originalkomposition schuf ich für Weihnachten 2001, aber es scheint, dass sie auch jetzt sehr gut zu unserer jetzigen Covid-19 / Corona-Welt passt.

Die Aufnahme wurde mit Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 erstellt.

Virtual Philharmonic Orchestra (Reinhold Behringer)

Since 1993 I use computers to create music. These are renditions of classical music works which I have known for a long time and of which I am very fond of. I also create my own compositions with these computer tools (sequencer, sampler).

Most of these renditions here are using "Garritan Personal Orchestra 5" samples. I am using the sequencer "Cakewalk" by Bandlab. ... more
