According to the Holy Scriptures, Abraham had a son with Sara, Isaac, who became the progenitor of the Jewish tribes, and a son withHagar, Ishmael, who became the progenitor of the Arab tribes. The French baroque painter Claude Lorrain devoted himself to this subject repeatedly, and Wolfgang-Andreas Schultz follows his conceived picture by setting three musical scenes in delicate soundscapes. The traditionally European instruments of the piano quartet also use stylized Arabian tone figurations so that both cultures are interconnected in this composition which was created in 2011/12 at the time of the Arab Spring.
