Dum medium silentium, which sets a text from the Book of Wisdom, celebrates stillness as a prerequisite for the birth of God’s word both in the world and in the human soul. With its composed dissolving chords the piece, which is mainly pianissimo, transports us into a sphere in which we are receptive to the word of God.

Composer
Wolfram Buchenberg
| 1962Wolfram Buchenberg, born 1962 in Engelbolz (Oberallgäu), studied school music and composition with Prof. Dieter Acker at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich; he also attended Prof. Acker’s master class. Since 1988, Wolfram Buchenberg has taught piano playing for school use at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich.
Wolfram Buchenberg is a very sought-after contemporary composer. His compositional oeuvre includes works of various genres and styles from solo to orchestral pieces, from musicals to masses. A large number of commissioned compositions for churches as well as for renowned festivals, orchestras and ensembles such as the Bavarian Radio Choir document the high quality of his artistic work.
He feels a particularly strong affinity to choral music, as is evident in the substantial number of his arrangements and compositions, among others for mixed choir. His music has become omnipresent in the international choral scene. Buchenberg’s modern and at the same time tonal sound language is characterized by colorful harmonies, soloistic elements, the inclusion of spoken texts and the breaking open of traditional rhythmic structures.

Reviews
... Für Chöre, die gewohnt sind, doppelchörig zu singen, und dazu auch innerhalb des eigenen Chores die Tonalität z. B. gegenüber der anderen Gruppe halten können, ist das Werk sehr zu empfehlen.
