Description

SKU ED21069

Sung texts are in Greek; English German and French translations are included.

A good friend of mine the poet lacovos Kambanellis was a prisoner in Mauthausen during World War II. At the beginning of the sixties he wrote his memories of this time under the title of Mauthausen. In 1965 he also wrote four poems on the subject and gave me the opportunity to set them to music. I did this with much pleasure firstly because I liked the poetry of the texts and secondly because I myself was detained in Italian and German prisons during the Nazi occupation but mainly because this composition gives us the chance to remind the younger generation of history of events that must never be forgotten.
First and foremost of course the Mauthausen Cantata is addressed to all those who suffered under Fascism and fought against it. We must keep the Nazi crimes continually in our minds because that is the only guarantee and the only way to assure that they are not repeated. And we can see every day that the ghost of Fascism is far from being laid. It seldom shows its real face but Fascist cultures and mentalities exist all over the world. For us who had to live through this time of horror the most important task is to protect our children against this peril. (Mikis Theodorakis 1999) Mauthausen Composer: Mikis Theodorakis Publisher: Schott Music Format: Study Score Pages: 84 Series: Music of Our Time
