Writing a piece of music for Christmas . . . It's difficult. We all know Christmas carols and hymns which in words and music express joy expectation and light. Christmas and Christmas carols are the greatest joy of childhood - for me (for many others probably also) one of the strongest experiences of fulfilment peace and happiness. Were I not able to write a piece for Christmas then the thought of Christmas would even so create inspiration. The angels' song the heavenly light which is spread over the world - the world which is not evil or false and hollow but which is subjected to mankind's eternal restless endeavour.The work is dedicated to Ensemble 2000.PeterBruun.
