Kadenz- und Zeitgestaltung in Frobergers Meditation sur ma mort future

Abstract

Treatment of Cadence and Time in Froberger’s »Meditation sur ma mort future« – Froberger’s allemandes appeal to the listener both through their elaborate compositional fabric and their spiritual richness. In Meditation sur ma mort future, both these aspects reach their zenith. By means of an extremely bold formal and harmonic conception, Froberger composes the timeless moment of meditative immersion of a subject that becomes aware of its own temporality.
