Commissioned by the Swiss Braunwald Music Festival Week 2007, Redel takes up the festival theme of ‘Folk music as a source of art music’ in three movements: here, he refers to concrete folk songs or folk-music types, such as dance forms or dance patterns, in a more or less clear form. The second and fourth movements, however, do without this reference, addressing in particular timbral and atmospheric aspects.
