Vier Schatten (2013)
for brass quintet
Publisher: Edition Plante
Commissioned by the Senate of Berlin/Germany for Ensemble Schwerpunkt 2014
Awarded at the 13th Composition Competition of Carl von Ossietzky Prize of the University of Oldenburg 2014
A highlight of the concert was the composition by Eres Holz, who was there that evening and gave an introduction to his work in advance. For the title Vier Schatten („Four Shadows“) for brass quintet the young composer was inspired by the four apocalyptic riders from the Revelation of John. He builds up the piece as a dramatic journey into death. In his music, Eres Holz depends on a harmonic, expressive language. He succeeded, which was confirmed by the enthusiastic applause.
