Le Marteau sans matreis a nine-part cycle, composed for contralto and six instrumentalists. Each of the parts is scored differently; four are for voice and changing instruments, while five are purely instrumental. On the one hand, the five instrumental pieces are organised in a prelude and postlude to the first vocal piece and, on the other, in three commentaries on the third vocal piece.

However, cohesive vocal and instrumental parts do not follow one another directly; they are woven throughout the entire piece like a web. The words of the second poem appear in two musical versions (Nos. V and IX). Comparison of the two versions makes the difference in handling the singing voice very clear: one the one hand, cantabile-melismatic, then syllabic voice leading combined with the melodic instruments alto flute, guitar, viola and, on the other,Sprechgesangwith predominantly percussion accompaniment and wordless, quasi instrumental singing.

Der Hammer ohne Meister

Das rasende Handwerk
Der rote Karren am Rand des Nagels
Und Aas im Brotkorb
Und Ackerpferde am Hufeisen
Ich sinne den Kopf auf der Spitze meines Messers Peru

Schnes Gebude und die Vorahnungen
Ich hre wandern in meinen Beinen
Das tote Meer Wellen hoch berm Haupt.
Kind der wilde Molenweg
Mann der nachgeahmte Wahn.
Reine Augen in den Wldern
Suchen weinend das bewohnbare Haupt.

Henker der Einsamkeit
Der Schritt hat sich entfernt der Wanderer ist verstummt.
Auf das Zifferblatt der Nachahmung
Wirft das Pendel seine Last willenlosen Granits.
bersetzung: Wolfgang Fink

Le Marteau sans matre
Pomes de Ren Char

LArtisanat furieux
La roulotte rouge au bord du clou
Et cadavre dans le panier
Et chevaux de labours dans le fer cheval
Je rve la tte sur la pointe de mon couteau le Prou.

Bel difice et les pressentiments
Jcoute marcher dans mes jambes
La mer morte vagues par-dessus tte
Enfant la jete-promenade sauvage
homme lillusion imite
Des yeux purs dans les bois
Cherchent en pleurant la tte habitable.

Bourreaux de solitude

Le pas sest loign le marcheur sest tu
Sur le cadran de limitation
Le Balancier lance sa charge de granit rflexe.

1934 Editions Jos Corti, Paris

The Hammer Unmastered

Furious handicraft
The red caravan beside the iron nail
And corpse in the basket
And carthorses in the horseshoe
I dream the head on the point of my knife, a Prou.

Find building and premonitions
I hear walking in my limbs
The dead sea waves overhead
Child the wild pier
Man the imitated illusion
Pure eyes in the woods
Weeping seek the habitable head.

Hangmen of solitude
The step has gone away the walker fallen silent
On the dial of Imitation
The Pendulum casts its load of granite in reverse.
