The echoes of my sorrows (2022)

Length: 12'

For mixed choir in 8 voices, soprano saxophone, bass and drums.
Text by Henriette Müller

The echoes of my sorrows,
life's lessons buried in me.
False promises of pleasures
never far away.
And what love I found
was never without a catch.

I will always be there if you pray
the old master said,
I will always be there.

But the promise is empty
if I don't find love in my heart.
Empty, empty, empty air,
it's just empty air.
Just like bubbles,
this shell could soon even be broken.

I look all around me,
there's no limit to the sky.
Still the birds are singing.
Will we survive at all?
