Text based on Sappho. Composed by Isabel Mundry. Voice; stapled. Edition Breitkopf. New music (post-2000). Sheet Music. Composed 2021. 20 pages. Duration 8:00. Breitkopf and Haertel #EB 9423. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-9423).
ISBN 9790004189009. 9 x 12 inches.
The Greek lyric poet Sappho (c. 630–570 BCE), one of antiquity's most significant female voices, survives only in fragments. Her texts, often marked by intense emotion and sensual precision, explore love, longing, and the fleeting nature of moments. The incomplete remnants of her poems—sometimes just single words or phrases—resemble poetic shards that still today invite fascinatingly open interpretations.
Inspired by four of these fragments, German composer Isabel Mundry wrote the song cycle "Wait" in 2021 as a commission for the 70th International ARD Music Competition. What makes it special? The songs exist in versions for all four voice types (EB 9424 alto and bass, EB 9423 soprano and tenor), making them a flexible yet demanding work for singers.
World premiere: Munich, Semifinal of the 70th ARD International Music Competition, September 9, 2021
Commissioned by the 70th ARD International Music Competition, funded by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.
