The inspiration behind my chorale fantasy on “Befiehl du deine Wege” was the unshakeable trust of a person who, even in the face of war, illness, and death, lets nothing hinder him from seeking his refuge in the love of God. Without knowing for sure, but simply trusting that it will turn out well in the end. This contradiction of doubt and trust, faith and certainty is the leitmotif of my composition “Er wird's wohlmachen.”
