The world premiere of opus 28 on German Choir Festival Leipzig was postponed to 2022 or 2021 now. The piece was already well rehearsed by the wonderful Landsberg Children’s Choir (Landsberger Kinderchor) with her great director Marianne Lösch.
“Der Mond ist aufgegangen” is a modern version of the old German lullaby and evening song “The moon has risen”. The lyrics from 1779 by Matthias Claudius are one of the most popular in German literature. Same for the tune by J.A.P. Schulz, 1790.
