The silvery moon is beaming
The poem "Der Mond ist aufgegangen" by Matthias Claudius is equally well known and loved. In the setting by
Manfred Länger sound is joined by the visual element. The moon risen - dimmed hall lights and candles. Than follows richly harmonious and atmospheric choral music. And when the moon has gone down - darkness, silence. One can scarcely imagine a more fitting conclusion to a concert.
