Was der Wienerwald vernimmt

Was der Wienerwald vernimmt is a short atmospheric piece for solo soprano, three-voice children’s choir, and piano, composed by Oskar Gigele for the 2025 Strauss Anniversary Concert of the Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen. Based on the original text of Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald, this cheerful and contemporary counterpart brings the awakening of spring to life through delicate sound patterns, aleatoric structures, and shifting registers. Old and new musical worlds meet – layered, playful, and full of warmth.
