WordMusicDebates

On the Sacred, on Musical Aesthetics and Atomic Spheres

My most elaborate program to date, both in terms of the research work and the technical effort in the studio.
The program searches for the sacred moments of sacred and profane music, what they mean, how they were and are interpreted. Each statement seems to contradict the one that follows it by 180 degrees. A game of contrasts and also a virtuoso high-speed work of spoken art. A whirlpool is created, nothing lasts, nothing is certain. Is it going up or down. Is the holy approaching - is it further away than ever? Then the game widens - and takes up the search for the holy in the here and now. Is the sacred to be found in the preconditions of large-scale technical facilities - nuclear power plants, particle accelerator facilities? Interviews with HEINRICH RIEHN (liturgist, theologian), NIKOLAUS A. HUBER (composer), DIETER SCHNEBEL (composer), WOLFGANG WALOSCHEK (press spokesman of the German Electron Synchrotron Hamburg DESY), WOLFGANG KRÜGER (retired railroad official, amateur philosopher), VOLKER HEYN (composer).

First broadcast: March 15, 1991

Trivia.
(Music )
Laughing at God, or what.
He at us or we at him.
If God were a man. And the joy would be great, if he did it again. There would be every reason to be sad, about the suffering, which he has instigated there. An error of the creation. One could forgive a human being. But God. Nevertheless:
I thank you with all my heart!
