Written for The Wartburg Choir in celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, this piece juxtaposes a vernacular quote of Martin Luther (...whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess) with his text Wir glauben all einen Gott, creating a powerful expression of hope. The quote is set in rubato choral style, the hymn text is set to the actual WIR GLAUBEN tune in a sort of chant style. Unusual and memorable. |
