In 2017 Anno Schreier composed on behalf of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and LiederAlive! this song cycle based on poems by Peter Huchelaward winner Nora Bossong. Schreier's tonal language is characterized in the song cycles by a particularly cantable design of the vocal part and thus manages to gently modernize the song genre without rejecting the typical romantic style.

Using four well-known poems by Else Lasker-Schüler as basis of a vocal work does not mean “setting to music” in the customary sense to the composer Lothar Voigtländer from Dresden: The colourful figure of the poetess, her unusual imageries, her (even religious) visions, as well as her close relation with renowned fine artists of her time had been on his mind for quite some time and in 2009 found their way into this composition: The dramatic, irregularly declaiming singing voice is harmonised with mystic, exotic piano farlands and the sounds of bells. At the composition competition of the Viennese Mahler Society in 2010, the songs were awarded the 1st prize.

The work of Mira Lobe has accompanied me since childhood, and especially since I began my career as a composer. When looking for suitable song texts, I quickly find what I need in her work. The song cycle Lob(e)lieder [Lobes Songs or Songs of Praise] is based on poems from Zwei Elefanten, die sich gut kannten [Two elephants who knew each other well]. Each song tells an animal story in a concise form with virtuosic word play. These colourful poetic miniatures carry large musical potential; it is not only the humour ofthe stories that inspired me, but also their language quality. Elisabeth Naske. German.
