Rued Langgaard - Final chorus of the opera "Antichrist"

★★★ My playlist with Danish choral pieces:    • Danish choral pieces   Rued Langgaard (1893 - 1952): FINAL ("EPHPHATA") CHORUS OF "ANTICHRIST" "Antichrist" (Perdition) is a philosophical-religious opera about the decline and (spiritual) fall of western civilization. It is an "atmospheric fantasia over our time", pillorying the modern lifestyle and mentality and warning against all-pervasive egoism and materialism at the expense of the spiritual values of existence. The message of the opera is that society and culture are digging their own grave but that the individual human being can find hope by becoming aware of the state of the world and opening up towards the divine. In his depiction of the horrific trends of his time Langgaard uses the vast forces of the romantic symphony orchestra - at full blast. There is a twin effect in function here in that this highly expressive and powerful music has great beauty, while at the same time ushering in decline and disintegration. That is why it is so fitted to describe the period of the early 20th century with its juxtaposed mixture of truth and falseness, beauty and decadence. The "Ephphatha Chorus" concludes the opera. Heavenly peace prevails and the chorus presents the moral: Only God has the power to give man insight, peace and harmony. I am very fascinated by this marvellous piece of music. The voices seem to move like waves on the ocean, building up from the quiet start until the ecstatic ending. The current performance was recorded during a concert held on 17 January 2009, which marked the inauguration of the new Danish Broadcasting Corporation concert hall and studios in Copenhagen. Kun naar Guds Effata i Sind slaar ned som Lyn og trænger ind, det lysner over dale; da kvæger Livets Flod vor Aand, og Læben uden Tungebaand om Himlens Fryd kan tale, om Himlens Fryd. Only when God's Ephphata finds Its path like lighting to our minds, To shine on nature's treasure, Shall streams of life refresh our souls, While unrestrain'd our voice extols That heav'nly joy and pleasure, That heav'nly joy.
