David Lang (*1957)
The Little Match Girl Passion
for four solo voices with percussion (2007)
"The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen tells the ordeal of a girl wandering barefoot on the snowy streets of Copenhagen. Desperate from the cold, she burns the last of her matches to warm herself. With each flare-up, another comforting vision appears to him. David Lang gives the fairy tale a mystical dimension and accompanies it with texts from Bach's St. Matthew Passion.
