programme note<\/strong>

This comical accapella arrangement of the popular Berliner dialect folk song, “Bolle reiste J\u00fcngst zu Pfingsten”, taps into the satire of the original. Here the Story of the ill-fated Bolle is caricatured to the extreme; the roughhouse energy of Berlin’s delinquents, a night full of adventure and a morning of sorrowful hangover are captured with a myriad of vocal techniques to simulate instrumental sounds and speech alongside adventurous choral textures that utilise the full harmonic potential of the choir, always with a tongue in its cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolle<\/em> (2022) was originally commissioned by Northern Spirit with assistance of the Bundesmusikverband Chor und Orchester’s “Neustart Amateurmusik” fund (2022). It is dedicated to Andreas Hilboll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
