Abstract

Rather than exhaustively treating of the many attempts composers of the Western tradition have made to render the final book of the Bible in music, this chapter aims to detail the author’s own odyssey as a composer seeking a model for his apocalyptic music. Along the way he explains aspects of his own belief system and stylistic features found in post-WWII Western Art Music fitting to eschatological themes, both sacred and secular. Two works are analyzed more closely: inwendig voller Figur, by Klaus Huber, and the author’s own Vision 4. Both works very purposefully deal with the Bible’s book of Revelation, but with different formal approaches. One uses the images of the book to warn and wake in the hopes of preventing a man-made Apocalypse. The other endeavors to nourish the hope of paradise, as utopic as it may seem.
