Aftensang MOSES, Op. 76 © Moses, God´s Prophet, and a continuous soprano part are in Herman D. Koppel´s oratorio the hearts, around which the whole work gathers: in them the interior of the work is reflected, in them the elements of the work are distinguished. With Moses Herman D. Koppel has found a character, who is so humanly immense, that he manages to accommodate all the possibilities offered by the oratorio´s other characters and its different situations; the musical substance and the dramatic consequence are so closely interwoven throughout, that the title role similarly becomes its musical and dramatic center. And so that Moses may have the greatest possible human background in the work – before he is introduced – the first two sections of the oratorio create the foundation, upon which the figure can be built: The Creation of Man and Woman, the Fall and Exorcism from Paradise (man’s detachment from God), God’s Trial of Abraham (man’s pursuit of God). With this fundamental development Moses can act as God´s true representative to mankind, and in the oratorio he is then confronted partly with the conditions created by God on earth (the Israelites in the Desert, the Stone Tablets etc.), partly with situations created by man himself (the Golden Calf, Blessing and Punishment, Praise of God) – Moses has the ability to see and therefore also the gift of being able to judge, bless and punish. Each of the work´s six sections concludes with a soprano solo, for the soprano soloist is the human being, who participates in the events around her with emotion; she perceives everything from human prerequisites and acts on the basis of human necessity. She is the person, who – in the words of Jean-Luc Godard – lives through ”tous les sentiments humains profonds possibles”: she loves (“Kiss me”), repents (“Lord, chastise me not”), cheers (“Hallelujah”); and just as the first part of the work ends with her remorse and anguish (“Let us search”) after the demonic dance of the Golden Calf, and after Moses has broken its power, the second part ends after the death of Moses with her Praise of the Lord: both Hell and Paradise exist in MOSES, and man plays a part in both of them. The soprano soloist gives Moses´ original divine truths a new human validity, and these two persons become the two components, that are inextricably linked in the context of the work. Thus, the difference can be seen between MOSES and Koppel´s earlier work, from 1949, for choir and orchestra with Biblical texts, the THREE PSALMS OF DAVID, opus 48 (Vol. 4 in this series, ed.): whereas the Psalms of David were three different lyrical situations, MOSES has a wide variety of contexts – compositionally as well as dramatically; elements, which constantly shift in relation to each other, which spread out and retract over the same compositional components. And while MOSES is a work about two individuals (Moses, the soprano soloist) and the situations around them, at the same time the oratorio covers man´s possibilities towards each other – ways to choose. And so a world is being built up in MOSES, contemporary with our own being torn down.
