Op. 107d Percussion Tablature
The suggestion to artistically process and comment on the events of 11 September 2001 came from Cornelia Großmann. The thought-provoking text "Black Tuesday" by Reiner Taudin, which I found by chance in the magazine "Der Gesundheitsberater", seemed very suitable for a musical realisation. So 110901 for speaker and percussion was written in November 2001.
Bertold Hummel
The introduction leads to a first chord cluster, which is followed by the first text passage. A second chord builds up, followed by the second text passage. The vibraphone determines the sound of the middle section with the third text insertion and brings the final text passage with its three questions to a close. This is followed by a short instrumental summary of the musical material. In the coda, the first seven notes of the Bach chorale "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" are quoted. The work fades away in the extreme pianissimo.
