lament") on Wohin?. Lyrics The lyrics of Helium Vola are created from medieval texts using a large variety of old languages comprising mainly Old High German, Middle High German, Latin, Galician, Provençal, and Italian. Here, Horn associates some languages with specific types of music, such as Provençal for love songs, while Latin appears strict and angular, and Old High German with its archaic character is combined with electronic experiments. His idea is not to follow strictly the medieval records but rather to emphasize general and timeless subjects as love, death, and nature, but also political questions. When the concept of the album demands it, Horn also adds lyrics written by himself or others in modern Italian, English and German. Sabine Lutzenberger contributed the song “DirIch” on Wohin?. Concerts Live performances of Helium Vola are rare but enthusiastically celebrated by the fans. The whole ensemble performed on the WGT in 2002, where Joel Frederiksen, a renowned and highly appraised bass in renaissance and baroque music, joined the ensemble. Ernst Horn and Sabine Lutzenberger performed as Helium Vola twice on the Digital-Analogue-Festival Munich (2002, 2007). Together, they played a few Helium Vola songs within the framework of the XXX – The 30 Years Retrospective Tour of Deine Lakaien. Hannah Wagner, who joined the Helium Vola ensemble on the latest album Wohin?, usually performs a few Helium Vola pieces on the concerts of her own project, Saeldes Sanc, often accompanied by Ernst Horn.
