for countertenor, baritone, bass clarinet, percussion and double bass

duration: 4'

premiere: 01.03.2026, Theater Münster

program note:

"Nie den letzten Sommertag verpassen" was inspired by an image with the same subtitle from the book "Die Regeln des Sommers" by Shaun Tan. The focus is on a moment of pause: a final lingering before the end of summer - much like the last day of the summer holidays - before something new begins. The music moves between nostalgia, lightness, and transience. For a brief moment, time seems to stand still while at the same time remaining noticeably fleeting. In this suspended state, calm and carefree lightness blend with quiet joy and a subtle anticipation of what is to come: the transition from an easy present into a new stage, accompanied by the almost unnoticed feeling that this moment will never return.

Recording available upon request.

for 2 sopranos, cello and chest organ/harpsichord

duration: ca. 20'

commissioned by the Schlosskonzerte Oranienburg

supported by the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg

premiere: 05.10.2025, Schlosskonzerte Oranienburg

program note: The piece is based on two texts: excerpts from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe and "Melancolía" by Alfonsina Storni, both addressing themes of lamentation and mourning. Poe’s dark, symbol-laden style enters into dialogue with the elegant melodic language of François Couperin, forming the starting point for a sonic exploration of grief and darkness. Voices and instruments merge and contrast, creating an intense emotional reflection on the human experience of suffering, hope, and transcendence.

Recording available upon request.

for bass and piano

text: Poem "Yo pienso en ti" by José Batres Montúfar

written for Julia Rinderle and Oscar Marin-Reyes

duration: ca. 8'

premiere: 24.08.2024, Achtelton – Neue Musik In Hitzacker (Elbe)

program note: "Yo pienso en ti" ist ein Lied für Bass und Klavier zu dem Gedicht von José Batres Montúfar. Der Bass singt ein melancholisches Lied und beschreibt, wie die geliebte Person unaufhörlich seine Gedanken beherrscht. In seiner Fantasie wird das Bild der Geliebten mit einem Lichtstrahl verglichen, der die Dunkelheit und sogar den kalten Marmor eines Grabes erhellt - ein Symbol für die Mischung aus Schönheit und Traurigkeit. Musikalisch ist das Stück von guatemaltekischen Klängen inspiriert, mit einem präparierten Klavier, das den Klang einer Marimba nachahmt.
