Richard van Schoor

This project involves the creation of original works based on existing material. The composer was commissioned by the Gluck Festival Nürnberg, Germany, to write two works, both to be performed in 2021. The first of these includes a vocal work for 5 unaccompanied voices based on one of Christoph Willibald Gluck's last compositions, "Der Tod" (Death), which is in turn based on one of the Klopstock Odes. The other work involves a reworking and artistic interpretation of Gluck's "De Profundis".
