Part II

In Taberna --- In the Tavern

11. Estuans interius--- Seething Inside

No.11(Estuans interius) The rushing rhythm sweeps the singer along with it. Represent the seething inside feeling. Using 4 motives in this movement. The vocal style moves from the free expressive of opera back to a wild, dynamic flux.



12. Olim lacus colueram--- Once in Lakes I Made My Home

  • No.12 (Das Lied des gebratenen Schwans) is for falsetto tenor supported by bassoons in a high register, piccolo, E flat clarinet, trumpet, and trombone with flutter tonguing. This combination gives the movement a grotesque character.





13. Ego sum abbas (Percussion, brass and chorus)--- I Am the Abbot
  • In this drunken piece No.13(Ego sum abbs), the melody(same notes) just exactly sounds like a drunken man talking





14. In taberna quando sumus--- When We Are in the Tavern

The impetuous rhythms of No.14 (In Taberna), give an unusually vivid impression of orgiastic flurry. In the begging with a “minor” key to present their stress, want to find the joy, get drunk. Later, music keep play dominant “e” for couple measure in middle part, to change to “A” major key, present drunken with temporary joy.
