The poem
Der Mond ist aufgegangen
by Matthias Claudius is
equally well known and
loved. In the setting by
Manfred Langer sound is
joined by the visual
element. The moon risen -
dimmed hall lights and
candles. Than follows
richly harmonious and
atmospheric choral music.
And when the moon has
gone down - darkness,
silence. One can scarcely
imagine a more fitting
conclusion to a
concert.
