Description

With the musical settings of songs by Uli Führe, the poems of Johann Peter Hebel gain a new immediacy. Hebel was a man of sensuality. His poem about the drinker as well as the always-joyful tobacco smoker attest to an almost un-Protestant joy of life. He wrote against superstition and for tolerance. His natural observations (The Beetle, The Spider) he conveyed so vividly that even Goethe was deeply impressed by his poems. Führe repeatedly reads illuminating letter excerpts that provide a glimpse into everyday life from 1800 to 1826. Texts like The Signpost or The Man in the Moon reveal more of the warning preacher side in his work. With comfort and contentment, he created two compact poems that testify to the highest poetry in their self-contained size. And it is the reunion with the calendar stories, which until recently were featured in many school books. These stories, in their linguistic conciseness, became stylistically influential for many renowned authors. Hebel was an Enlightener, theologian, natural scientist, politician, and also a poet. Uli Führe, born in 1957 in Lörrach, studied music, lives as a musician, composer, and Alemannic song poet in Buchenbach. Many publications, including Muul uf, Dank Hebel, Himmel us Stei, D’Fledermuus, D’Staumacher; Ikarus, Himmel us Stei, Führe received many awards, including the annual award of the German record critics for his dialect CD Ikarus based on texts by M. M. Jung, the Baden-Württemberg Small Arts Award, most recently he received the Hebel plaque from the municipality of Hausen and the Alemannenring in Lörrach.
