Uli Führe - Unverhofftes Wiedersehen
With the musical settings of songs by Uli Führe, the poems of Johann Peter Hebel gain a new immediacy. Hebel was a man of sensuality. His poem about the drinker and the ever-pleased tobacco smoker testify to an almost unprotestant joy of life. He wrote against superstition and for tolerance. His observations of nature (The Beetle, The Spider) were conveyed so vividly that even Goethe was deeply impressed by his poems.
Führe intersperses enlightening excerpts from letters that provide a glimpse into everyday life from 1800 to 1826.
Texts like The Signpost or The Man in the Moon reveal more the side of the admonishing preacher in his work. With comfort and satisfaction, he created two compact poems that, in their complete form, testify to the highest poetry.
And it is the reunion with the calendar stories that until recently were represented in many schoolbooks. These stories, in their linguistic precision, were formative for many notable authors.
Hebel was an enlightener, theologian, natural scientist, politician, and indeed also a poet.
Uli Führe, born in 1957 in Lörrach, studied music, and lives as a musician, composer, and Alemannic song poet in Buchenbach. Many publications include Muul uf, Dank Hebel, Himmel us Stei, D’Fledermuus, D’Staumacher; Ikarus, Himmel us Stei
Führe has received many awards, including the annual award of German record critics for his dialect CD Ikarus based on texts by M.M.Jung, the Baden-Württemberg small arts award, and most recently, he received the Hebel plaque from the municipality of Hausen and the Alemannenring in Lörrach.
