"Das Zitat, das dem Chorstück "nihil" zugrunde liegt, stammt aus dem Lehrgedicht "De rerum natura" des römischen Dichters und Philosophen Titus Lucretius Carus, genannt Lukrez. Das Zitat gibt in komprimierter Form Lukrez' Ansicht über die Wesensart der Seele wieder. Seiner Meinung nach sind Geist und Seele sterblich.
Er fordert seine Leser auf, das Leben als Leben zu genießen und die Furcht vor dem Tod als unnötig zu betrachten. Das Sein ist für ihn ein ewiger Kreislauf aus Werden und Vergehen: "Nichts entsteht aus nichts" und "Nichts vergeht zu nichts". Das Chorstück "nihit" knüpft musikalisch daran an.

Texts: Vincent van Gogh, Pieter Teding van Berckhout, Dirk Hannema, Catharina Bolnes, Alltagssprache

Very little is known about the life of Jan Vermeer (1632-1675). There exists nothing but a scattering of contemporary articles and absolutely no personal testimonials with regard to the artist, who rarely left his hometown of Delft. Despite this, and a relatively small oeuvre of approximately 35 paintings known to exist, Jan Vermeer exposed new dimensions in the field of light, perspective and colour, and is regarded as one of the most outstanding painters of his era. Using compositional methods, 'Licht bei Vermeer' attempts to transpose the characteristic light and colour concepts of seven Vermeer paintings onto a musical level. While the basset horn and vibraphone generally represent the only painting depicting a view of Vermeer's hometown (View of Delft, ca. 1660/61), the choir tackles six genre scenes situated within this city: Woman with a Lute [ca. 1659-60], Lady and Gentleman Drinking Wine [undated] The Girl with the Wine Glass [ca. 1659-60], A Lady Standing at a Virginal [ca. 1672-1673], Woman with a Pearl Necklace [ca. 1664] and Woman Holding a Balance [ca. 1664]. Each of these genre scenes is assigned a text fragment, like tesserae in the mosaic of Vermeer-reception, where the musical reference to the picturesque work of Vermeer is coupled with exemplary statements about his life and impact.

Texts: Eduard Mörike

The music of my piece 'Die Elemente' refers in a simple and immediately understandable way to the text in the poem of the same name by Eduard Mörike. This poem impressed me with its combination of raging elemental force and naive tenderness. Despite the biblical citation that Mörike adds as a motto, I find the essence of his poem more archaic-antique, like a Greek or Germanic myth.

Scenes of humility

Instrumentation: for choir voices and orchestral groups

Texts: Bibel / Liturgie

This composition is based on the eternal and primordial concern with the Pentecostal Litany. A twelfth century melody together with poetry by Stephan Langton (also around 1200 AD) acts as a cantus firmus. The rhythm, declamation, voicing, orchestration, phrasing and expression of the piece is highly distinguished from the litany of the middle ages, from which the title has borrowed the first and last word.
