Das Floß der Medusa (or "The Raft of the Medusa") was a secular oratorio for three singers, choir, children's choir, and orchestra, composed in 1968 by Hans Werner Henze. The story, based on an actual event also commemorated by a famous painting of Théodore Géricault (look it up), dealt with the sinking of a French frigate off Mauritania in 1816. Of the 400 passengers, about 150 were forced onto a makeshift raft, and of those, only 15 survived after 13 days of unthinkable horror. Henze's work dates from 1968, the year of student revolt in Germany as elsewhere; the original choristers refused to sing under a red banner symbolizing Communism, and even baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau backed out, although he was heard on the recording made during rehearsals with Henze conducting. Henze tells his story in classic allegorical fashion with three solo singers: Death (soprano Sarah Wegener), Jean-Charles, a Haitian man on the raft (baritone Dietrich Henschel), and Charon, the ferryman to the world of death (a speaker, Sven-Eric Bechtolf). The speaking part melts into music in a way Schoenberg might have enjoyed, and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir is quite comfortable with the idiom. It may have been newer to the Vienna Boys' Choir, but they also acquit themselves well. The tale was shorn of its "Ho Chi Minh" chants in a later version heard here, and in this reading by the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under Cornelius Meister, it has considerable dramatic power. It is hard not to think of the role shipwrecks and rafts have played in the current European refugee crisis, and Henze's work is much more than a period piece.

Chronique
Das Floß der Medusa (or "The Raft of the Medusa") was a secular oratorio for three singers, choir, children's choir, and orchestra, composed in 1968 by Hans Werner Henze. The story, based on an actual event also commemorated by a famous painting of Théodore Géricault (look it up), dealt with the sinking of a French frigate off Mauritania in 1816. Of the 400 passengers, about 150 were forced onto a makeshift raft, and of those, only 15 survived after 13 days of unthinkable horror. Henze's work dates from 1968, the year of student revolt in Germany as elsewhere; the original choristers refused to sing under a red banner symbolizing Communism, and even baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau backed out, although he was heard on the recording made during rehearsals with Henze conducting. Henze tells his story in classic allegorical fashion with three solo singers: Death (soprano Sarah Wegener), Jean-Charles, a Haitian man on the raft (baritone Dietrich Henschel), and Charon, the ferryman to the world of death (a speaker, Sven-Eric Bechtolf). The speaking part melts into music in a way Schoenberg might have enjoyed, and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir is quite comfortable with the idiom. It may have been newer to the Vienna Boys' Choir, but they also acquit themselves well.

It is hard not to think of the role shipwrecks and rafts have played in the current European refugee crisis, and Henze's work is much more than a period piece.
