Hoziers neues Album „Unreal Unearth“ wurde inspiriert von den in der Hölle spielenden Kapiteln aus „Die göttliche Komödie“ vom italienischen Dichter Dante Alighieri. Wir haben Hozier besonders abgründige Verse (der englischen Übersetzung von Ciaran Carson) aus „Inferno“ vorgelegt - und gestaunt, wie gut er sich in der Hölle und im 14. Jahrhundert auskennt.
An diesem Freitag erscheint das dritte Studioalbum von Andrew Hozier-Byrne alias Hozier. Der irische Songwriter, der einst mit „Take Me To Church“ seine Karriere kickstartete, hat sich für die insgesamt 16 Songs auf „Unreal Unearth“ von einem epischen Poem des italienischen Dichters Dante Alighieri inspirieren lassen, der von 1265 bis 1321 lebte. „Die Göttliche Komödie“, die erst kurz vor Dantes Tod vollendet wurde, gilt als Meilenstein der Literaturgeschichte und ist in drei Teile gegliedert: „Inferno“ (Hölle), „Purgatorio“ (Fegefeuer) und „Paradiso“ (Paradies).
Hozier, der auf seinem Instagram- und TikTok-Account sehr oft über Bücher spricht und aus ihnen vorliest, hatte „Die göttliche Komödie“ während der Pandemie noch einmal gelesen und war wie die meisten Leser:innen vor allem vom Höllen-Part beeindruckt. Dante erzählt in den Versen von „Inferno“, wie er mit dem Geist des Dichters Vergil an der Seite die Hölle durchreisen darf. Dantes Hölle ist dabei in neun Kreise aufgeteilt. Jeder Kreis steht für eine Sünde und quält jene, die ihr erlegen sind. Im zweiten Kreis brüten zum Beispiel die Wollüstigen, im dritten die Gefräßigen, im Sumpf des fünften Kreises die Zornigen und im siebenten die Gewaltverbrecher. Auch Satan selbst hat in den Versen - neben vielen anderen mythischen Figuren - seinen eindrucksvollen Auftritt als Menschen snackender, dreimäuliger Riese.
Bloß kein Musiktheater!
Hozier hat in „Unreal Unearth“ allerdings nicht einfach die Verse oder Szenen Dantes in Musik verwandelt. Vielmehr hat er Motive und Figuren aus „Inferno“ in sein wie immer sehr persönliches Songwriting einfließen lassen. Der Song „Francesca“ zum Beispiel wurde von der Figur der Francesca da Rimini inspiriert - eine real existierende Person, die für ihre Liebe zu ihrem jüngeren Stiefbruder Paolo Malatesta im 13. Jahrhundert ermordet wurde. Dante griff diese zu seiner Zeit sehr bekannte tragische Liebesgeschichte auf und setzte die beiden in den zweiten Kreis der Hölle, wo sie für ihre Wollust büßen mussten. Hozier wiederum macht daraus nun einen wuchtigen Song über Liebe und Hingabe.
Im Interview sagte er uns über seine Arbeitsweise und die Verbindungen zu Dantes „Inferno“: „Als ich versucht habe ‚Inferno‘ in meine Songs einfließen zu lassen, musste ich erst die richtige Balance finden. Es gibt einige Songs, die sehr genau spezifische Elemente aufgreifen, aber als ich zu oft zu nah an Dantes Worten war, klang es schnell, als würde ich fürs Musiktheater schreiben.“ Seine Lösung des Problems: „Ich habe das nicht mehr so intensiv betrieben und lieber die Themen meiner Lieder an den neun Kreisen von Dantes Hölle ausgerichtet.“
„Es macht großen Spaß, Dante so zu lesen.“
Da wir wissen, dass Hozier ein ziemlicher Buchkenner ist und in Sachen Dante seine Hausaufgaben gemacht hat, luden wir zum vielleicht nerdigsten Reaction-Video ein, das wir jemals gedreht haben. Wir ließen ihn einige besonders brutale, lustige, eindringliche Szenen aus Dantes „Inferno“ vorlesen und kommentieren. Während Hozier zuletzt die Übersetzung des amerikanischen Dichters Robert Pinsky gelesen hatte, haben wir uns für die sehr moderne englische Interpretation des irischen Dichters Ciaran Carson entschieden. Denn auch das muss man wissen, wenn man sich mit Dante befassen will: Das Lese-Vergnügen oder die Lese-Qual hängt oft von der jeweiligen Übersetzung ab. Carson agiert in seiner Wortwahl recht frei, aber dafür hat sein „Inferno“ einen Flow, der dem Original sehr nahe kommt. Die britische Tageszeitung „The Guardian“ schrieb in ihrer Rezension, dass man dank dieser Übersetzung nun zum ersten Mal Spaß an der Lektüre haben könne. Und auch Hozier war recht angetan von Carsons Arbeit: „Ich mag diesen Tonfall sehr. Bei ihm klingt das so unbeschwert, fast gut gelaunt. Und der Text ist ja im Grunde trotz all der drastischen Bilder auch eine ‚Göttliche Komödie‘ - deshalb passt das sehr gut. Es macht großen Spaß, Dante so zu lesen.“ Das merkt man auch in diesem Video:

9:06 Hozier kinda forgot to mention that the reason why Paolo and Francesca (both of which actually existed, as opposed to characters such as Romeo and Juliet) are placed by Dante in hell isn't because they simply love each other, but rather because they allow their love to take place despite Francesca being already married, resulting in her husband killing them both. Dante added the detail of them reading poems of Lancelot and Guinevere the first time they met as an ironic parallel to their tale. This is also a great example of the dichotomy between Dante the character and Dante the poet that Hozier mentions earlier in the video, since once Francesca finishes the retelling of her and Paolo's fate from their point of view, Dante is so moved by the tale that he faints. These strong feelings of compassion towards souls who ended up in hell are a costant theme during the whole Inferno portion of the Commedia, the other most notable example being Ulysses. Even though he's the most valiant man to have ever lived in Dante's eyes, his courage and ambition prompted him to venture beyond the limits set by God and being sent to hell as punishment.

There's also the fact that Francesca's husband was Paolo's brother, Giovanni Malatesta. The parallelism between Francesca and Paolo's story on one side and Lancelot and Guinevere's on the other shows a vein satirical criticism, founded on medieval moral. Ineed, Guinevere and Lancelot's unfaithful love story follows the rules established by Andrea Cappellano on the so callard "fin amor", that is to say courtly love, a concept which was developed between XI and XIII century, starting in the courts of Northen France and Provence. This type of love couldn't prescind from adultery, because it was a belief that the conjugal relationship was exent from any form of love, as an exchange of amorous feelings between the two partners. The reason behind this ideology is, of course, the fact that marriage was an economic and political contract, and was not considered the seal of a romantic relationship. Therefore, love could exist exclusively outside of it, and, as a consequence, only an extra-conjugal relationship could bore it. The poets (trobadours) tried to hide the immoral substance of that kind of love, by saying that it was the only way to refine and elevate their spirits, thus concealing its passional and sensual traits. Dante, in this passage, firmly rejects and condamns that courtly conception. He shows that Lancelot and Guinevere's story was followed by no consequences because it's just that: a story born from the mind of an author (Chrétien the Troyes), whilist Francesca and Paolo's was a real and concrete act of adultery. They are punished because they tought they could emulate the actions of two characters who were the product of fantasy. Therefore, the unfillable distance between literature and reality emerges, and Paolo and Francesca have to deal with the consequences of their sin. That is also why Dante faints at the end of Francesca's speech: he was almost lured into that sinful love, when he was younger (don't forget that Beatrice was married!). Luckly for him, he got over that sensual phase in time, he mended his ways. His love for Beatrice from a certain point began to be purely platonic and spiritual. However, in front of those damned souls, he couldn't shake off the thought that he, too, could have been emprisoned in that circle of Hell. Sorry for the lenght, I'm preparing an exam on Italian literature during Middle Ages haha.❤ Also pardon me if there are any grammatical and syntactical mistakes :)

Depending on the region, you may actually study the book 2 times as well! The first time in middle-school and later on high school. The reason why is because the book itself wasn't precisely the first work in the italian language but rather the one which laid the ground for the modern language to be born as a whole! It's one of the reasons why Dante is such an important figure in Italy's history.

I wish Hozier was my university literature professor. I would have worked extra hard and get good grades. In fact it would be hard to do otherwise for he is simply so inspiring. Whatever he does whether is writing lyrics or singing, or uttering his thoughts about a piece of poetry or literature, he always raises the bar. Facing that you don't really have much choice but to to lift your own game. He can help you to rise to his level and you will be surprised at how high you can soar without even realizing what you are capable of before. Alas he wasn't even born when I was doing my study.

The reason why canon works like this feel so inaccessible and so threatening to approach is that the translations provided to the public are written in such old English, it's laborious to get through and distracts you from the actual content. I read Dr Emily Watson's translation of The Iliad and it was such a joy to read, compared to the ye olde Penguin Classics, where all I remember were multiple people with slight variations of the same name. We need more digestible interpretations of these classics.
