SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied Am Abend is a setting of
'Grodek', which is thought to be the last work of the Austrian poet
Georg Trakl. Written in 1913, the year before Trakl committed
suicide at the age of 27, the poem is set in the town of Grodek on
the Eastern Front, where he had served as a medical officer.
Jackson's setting is agonizingly moving, opening with an eerie alto
melody before the rest of the choir enter with haunting harmonies
and cluster chords, reflecting the darkness of the text. Grace
notes and glissandi add an Eastern flavour and evoke the 'wild
lament' and 'dark flutes' of Trakl's poem. Jackson's setting builds
to a powerful climax, before the altos close with a quiet, repeated
fragment on 'die ungebornen Enkel' ('the unborn grandsons'). First
performed by the BBC Singers, directed by Paul Brough, at Milton
Court Concert Hall, London, on 11 February 2016.
