Description
The title is the one that Max Beckmann gave to his
poetry. This poetic text is the ‘basis’ of my composition. It is not programme
music in the actual sense. I believe that in Samothrake the focus is
not as much on the individual state of a subjectively prejudiced protagonist (such
as in Schönberg’s Erwartung, for example),
it is rather an outlook on the state of the world. Perhaps articulated by a
visionary? The mythological Samothrace is a place that is determined very much
by female intuition: the Gods that were worshipped there fall under the term
’Great Mother‘ (Aphrodite, Demeter, Hecate).
