Mysteriensonaten

Quick Info

A diverse festival program begins with a moment of focus and immersion: at three different venues, a selection of the three Rosenkranz phases is presented simultaneously and connects the cities of Duisburg, Bochum and Essen into a decentralized resonance space. In Christian faith the reciting of the rosary provides a ritual vessel for meditation. Unrivaled in terms of its wealth of forms and virtuosity, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s „Mysteriensonaten” for violin and general bass, which was finalized in circa 1674, pass through the three phases of the story of Jesus’ life: the „joyful”, the „sorrowful” and the „glorious” rosary. His composition requires the performers’ complete dedication: the violine is progressively detuned step by step – a fascinatingly unique approach that was misunderstood at the time.
