Nordheim: Clamavi

Clamavi (1980) per violoncello solo, like many of Arne Nordheim's works, has a literary basis. In this case the source of inspiration is Psalm 141. The Psalm begins with these words:

 

"Domine clamavi ad te festina mihi
exaudi vocem meam clamantis ad te"

 

Lord, I cry unto thee,
make haste unto me!
Give ear unto my voice,
when I cry unto thee.
