"Domine" des Wiener Komponisten Wolfram Wagner (*1962) wurde 2023 für Musik am 12ten komponiert und uraufgeführt. Er legt ihm ein ergreifendes Gedicht von Marie Luise Kaschnitz von 1951 zugrunde, indem sie nach den Erfahrungen von Holocaust und Krieg ein anklagendes Gespräch mit Gott führt.
Vater, Du riesiger Unsichtbarer, ich verstehe nichts, ich bin wie ein Stein, der daliegt, ein Hindernis, glotzäugig fest. Abgebrochen hast Du das alte Gespräch.
Das Schweigen kann laut sein, kann zum Verstummen führen, kann klagend sein, kann klingen. Wenn wir fragen, zu welchem Ende, schweigst Du.… Marie Luise Kaschnitz Diesen Text setzt Wagner in Dialog mit dem biblischen Psalm 6.
Das Programm umrahmt diese Klage mit Vasks flehentlich-inbrünstigen Friedensappellen. Sein zentrales Anliegen ist, durch Musik Hoffnung zu spenden und - wie Schostakowitsch - eine Mahnung gegen Krieg und Terror zu hinterlassen. "Da pacem Domine" ist erstmals in Österreich zu hören!

"Domine" by the Viennese composer Wolfram Wagner (*1962) was composed and premiered in 2023 for Musik am 12ten. It is based on a moving poem by Marie Luise Kaschnitz from 1951, in which she conducts an accusatory conversation with God in the wake of the experiences of the Holocaust and war.
Father, you immense invisible one, I understand nothing, I am like a stone lying there, an obstacle, staring wide-eyed fixedly. You have interrupted the old conversation.
The silence can be loud, can lead to muteness, can lament, can resonate. When we ask, for what end, you are silent.… Marie Luise Kaschnitz Wagner sets this text in dialogue with the biblical Psalm 6.
The program surrounds this lament with Vasks' pleading and fervent appeals for peace. His central concern is to provide hope through music and, like Shostakovich, to leave a warning against war and terror. "Da pacem Domine" is being heard for the first time in Austria!

What can a Christmas cantata composed from today's perspective tell us? The Viennese composer Akos Banlaky (*1966) aims to penetrate to the core of the Christmas message: the expectation of salvation; the longing for light, warmth, and spring; the contrast and mutual permeation of light and dark – rebirth from winter's rigidity. The texts, largely by Rilke, expand access to the biblical Christmas story through their poetry. Central figures are Mary, the giver of birth, and Jesus; Mary, a young woman, almost still a girl herself… The music, with its versatile ensemble of string quartet, flute, clarinet, harp, and organ, moves between impressionistic winter colors and baroque passion tones, thus bridging the gap from individual faith to impersonal religion, from experiences of suffering to childishly naive Christmas joy.
