''Freundlich zu singen '' (sing in a friendly way) is the direction
that Hanns Eisler (1898 Leipzig -1962 Berlin Ost) gives to his ''
Ernsten Gesaengen '' (Serious Songs) (1962), a review of his rich
experiences in life expressed with many nuances similar to his film
music. Eislers compositional attachment to Schoenberg is
expressed within the cycle with a twelve-tone field; he tries to make
the songs melodious and generally understandable even for the
uneducated listener, which is the result of his political beliefs. The
song, ''Komm ins Offene, Freund'' (Come outside, my friend) (Example,
beginning of the song) by Hoelderlin from the 7 Serious Songs, is
typical of Eisler's melodic construction and his transparent,
economical harmonies. These are the stylistic elements he liked to use
in his later years (Illustration) as recent intimations of a clear
construction. (M. Saary)
