In 'Metamorphosen' - performed for the first time in March 2008 by Viviane Hagner at a Berlin gala concert marking the 80th birthdayof the composer, only a few weeks before his death - Frank Michael Beyer refers to Scriabin's Piano Sonata No. 6 from 1911, a work the motivic and thematic penetration of which ahead of the serial technique had fascinated Beyer since his student days. Based on a scale found in Scriabin's works, Metamorphosen contrasts the frequently ecstatic nature of the piano setting with the linearity of the solo violin. The strict structure is contrasted by the music's free character which Scriabin himself described as 'volando - flying'.

Performance/accompaniment CD for 10/5333L Marty Parks uses the beloved COVENTRY CAROL as the basis for his original lyric: Your humble birth, Your matchless worth; Jesus, God with us. No earthly crown, no great renown; Jesus, God with us. Redeemer King, of whom angels sing; Jesus, God with us. Equally inspiring with piano accompaniment or the optional string quartet, this is a stunning addition to Christmas worship or concert repertoire.
