In 1954 he composed a Missa brevis, which was recorded and reviewed: Young (29) Munich-born Composer Wilhelm Killmayer's Missa Brevis ripples with exciting, shifting rhythms and rises skillfully to a colorful series of blasting choral climaxes occasionally more reminiscent of the bandstand than the choir. Killmayer composed three symphonies called ''Fogli'' (1968), ''Ricordanze'' (1968/69) and ''Menschen-Los'' (1972/73, revised 1988). He composed other orchestral works such as ''Nachtgedanken'' (1973), and music for chamber orchestra, ''The woods so wilde'' (1970), ''Schumann in Endenich'' (1972) and ''Kindertage'' (1973). His stage works ''La Buffonata'' (1959/60) and ''Yolimba'' (new version 1970) are based on texts by Tankred Dorst.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wilhelm Killmayer )〕 For the 20th anniversary of the Münchener Kammerorchester Killmayer composed in 1970 ''Fin al punto'' for string orchestra, which premiered in 1971, conducted by Hans Stadlmair.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=fin al punto / Poèmes symphoniques )〕 He wrote about this work: The calm already contains the catastrophe. Out of the calm grows the movement that drives itself to the furthest extreme of its powers, where it collapses. It is the point at which one gives up, beyond which one can escape into the open.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=fin al punto / Poèmes symphoniques )〕 Interested in poetry and the voice, he composed Lieder, three cycles of ''Hölderlin-Lieder'' based on Friedrich Hölderlin (1980s), song cycles based on Joseph von Eichendorff (1991), Georg Trakl (1993 and 1996) and Peter Härtling (1993), and ballads such as Heinrich Heine's ''Ali Bey'' (2006) and Eduard Mörike’s ''Der Feuerreiter'' (2007).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilhelm Killmayer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
