for this program it's essential that the piano should be freshly voiced.
for several male voices with or without hammerflügel" (hell, i have no idea what this is even in german?!? flügel is a piano but hammerflügel)
i found this on wiki: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerklavier and it is basically a modern piano... just a term to sound cool and that outsiders won't understand.. like me :x haha.
Thanks Sabine! You're officially invited to one of their concerts :D
I'm wondering what they mean by "freshly voiced". Do you think it could mean "tuned"?
Oh, that hammerflügel is a mistery, then! I guess it isn't a piano, nor a harpsichord neither a forte piano... I'm quite puzzled. Since it's a pretty technical word I'd better ask them what they meant exactly! ;)
ok well, that's not important actually. I just need to know the general meaning to understand it :) I translated "alla vecchia maniera" so, I was pretty right, uh? :) Since it's referred to lieders, I'll just put "tradizionale per voci maschili e pianoforte". I think that's perfect.
I couldn't have helped you better than Sabine did already :) About this "nach alten Weisen", it means that they sing / play in the kind of old, traditional melodies or songs (Weise is another word for Lieder, songs) The "Hammerflügel" is a piano as Sabine said and as it's written in the article she found. It could mean, that they use an old instrument at their performance (the term seems to be used nowadays to refer to historical music instruments), but it's not more than a concert piano, I think (grand piano)
So, I can just write "lieder tradizionali". Good! :) My only doubt about the Hammerflügel is that it is a forte piano. I don't think so, actually, because it doesn't seem to fit the repertoire in my opinion... but just to be sure I'll check that with the ensemble! ;)

How would you translate "nach alten Weisen"?

like the way we've always done things, but in a poetic way - maybe?!
i think folke would be better with translations.
