Joseph Marx: Japanese Rain Song#
As a teacher and composer, Joseph Marx (1882 -
Graz/Styria -1964) assumed the role of the guardian of tradition and
reaped prizes from all the governments he lived under in his long life.
It is not surprising to find him following in the footsteps of his
model Hugo Wolf merely hinting at an exotic element in his
Japanische Regenlied (Japanese Rain Song)(1909) which is based on a singable
melody, transparent accompaniment, as well as an orchestration that
approaches light symphonic entertainment. His style aims at an audience
that wants to listen to well-known structures in a pleasing
combination. (M. Saary)
