“Fascism found its prerequisite precisely in its inability to imagine its own extinction. This is how the author Peter Weiss, originally a German Jew, describes one of the complex conditions for Nazi rule in the second volume of his 'Aesthetics of Resistance'. Mass murder cannot be represented musically, however, but peace, love and hope can indeed be expressed through this medium. This is also true here and today - in this church - and with its organ of peace. The two trumpets are two souls or two wingsof a body. They sing about thoughts about something optimistic - maybe even utopian - for, already for Dante Alighieri, music was analternative-worldly, pictorial art. It represents those things that one cannot see and about which one cannot speak.� (Jan Müller-Wieland).
