Programme notes: "Es blüht eine Rose zur Weihnachtszeit" is a song by the Austrian composer Robert Stolz, which can be considered a late work in his extensive musical oeuvre. The song, also known as "Christrosenlied", was published in Munich in 1967 and has no opus number, which makes it difficult to date exactly. Robert Stolz, born on 25 August 1880 in Graz and died on 27 June 1975 in Berlin, was an important Austrian composer and conductor. Known for his numerous operettas, film scores and popular songs, Stolz had a significant influence on the musical landscape of the 20th century. "Es blüht eine Rose zur Weihnachtszeit" is a fascinating example of how Stolz continued to create musical masterpieces in his later years. The exact date of composition of "Es blüht eine Rose zur Weihnachtszeit" remains unclear due to the lack of an opus number and other documentation. However, the designation as a "Christrosenlied" indicates that the song is thematically linked to the Christmas season. The uncertainty about the time of composition could be due to various factors such as missing records or the composer's personal circumstances. The song was published in Munich in 1967, which is an important clue for its chronological placement. The late publication of the work could indicate a conscious decision by Robert Stolz to compose the song at a stage in his life when he could look back on a wealth of experience and a lifelong musical career. The musical stylistic features of "Es blüht eine Rose zur Weihnachtszeit" probably reflect Stolz's characteristic handwriting. The composer was known for his catchy melodies, harmonic sophistication and ability to bring emotional depth to his works. The Christmas carol is therefore likely to offer a mixture of traditional elements and Stolz's individual musical expression. "Es blüht eine Rose zur Weihnachtszeit" by Robert Stolz is a fascinating late work by the Austrian composer. The uncertainty as to when it was written lends the song a certain mysticism, while its publication in 1967 provides an important clue as to its chronological placement. This musical jewel is exemplary of Stolz's enduring creativity and his contribution to the festive musical landscape. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
