John FioreAbout
Imbued at first with a post-Ravelian neoclassicism, over the years his style has shifted toward a more distanced relationship with tonality and a more inner language. However, the refinement of the contrapuntal writing and instrumentation will always remain a constant feauture of his art.
The orchestra occupies a preponderant position in his production. If he readily references classical structures, such as the symphony (composing nine of them between 1938 and 1989), or the concerto, he has likewise written free-form works whose construction continues to remain meticulously elaborate.
This is the case of Clamavi, a symphonic triptych composed in 1957 and premiered the same year on Radio-Genève as part of the International Red Cross Day. The most “Honeggerian” work of Wissmer, it is based on the Lutheran chorale Herr, nun lass in Frieden which runs through the three parts uninterruptedly. Each of the three sections is headed by a Biblical verse: “But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” (Revelation XII.12) – “Let your gentleness be known to all men” (Philippians IV.5) – “Do not be afraid, O earth, but rejoice and be glad, for the Lord has done great things” (Joel II.21).
