Programme notes:
"Farewell tones" in music in the context of the composition of the same name by Hans Kliment
The term “farewell tones” in music refers to those tonal forms of expression that convey the feeling of loss, sadness and farewell. In human experience, farewells are universal moments that are associated with a variety of emotions. They run through all phases of life and cultures and are often accompanied by music that intensifies these feelings and immerses the listener in the respective mood. This is especially true of the funeral march, which has always been a means of mourning the loss of loved ones and offering people a place to remember.
Hans Kliment took up this theme in his work "Tones of farewell" for wind orchestra. The funeral march, which was written in such a context, summarizes the emotions associated with saying goodbye to a loved one. The composition reflects the sadness, melancholy and loving memories that resonate in the last words of a farewell.
The structure of Kliment's "Abschiedstöne" can be interpreted as a musical journey that addresses both the gravity of loss and the hope of a reunion in memory. The composer uses the different timbres of the wind orchestra effectively to create contrasts between deep, booming tones and gentle, almost whispering playing. This sound design intensifies the emotions and immerses the listener in a world that is both desperate and thoughtful.
A central feature of "Abschiedstöne" is the use of melodies that are both slow and solemn. Kliment relies on a simple but memorable melody line that allows the audience to identify with the music and reflect on their own feelings of farewell. The harmonic elements of the composition contribute to the creation of a somber but also hopeful sound space. Dissonant sounds are often used here, which illustrate the pain of loss, but always lead into more harmonious passages that offer a kind of catharsis.
In addition, the rhythm plays a crucial role in "Abschiedstöne". Kliment chooses a leisurely, almost ceremonial time that underlines the feeling of a funeral march. This deliberate slowing of the tempo gives the listeners a snapshot of standstill in which grief for the loss and the remembrance of what has been lost find space.
The effect of Kliment's composition is not only evident in the artistic design, but also in the way it inspires the listeners to reflect. "Abschiedstöne" functions as a space of expression in which individual grief can be processed. During performances of this work, a silent connection between the musicians and the audience is often felt, culminating in the collective experience of farewell.
In summary, Hans Kliment's "Abschiedstöne" is deeply rooted in the human experience of saying goodbye. The composition is not only a musical work, but also an art form that processes feelings of grief, loss and memory and translates them into a universal language. In these sounds, people find comfort and the opportunity to reflect on their own farewells. Music here becomes a means that connects the grief and gives space to the different ways of saying goodbye.
