Licht/ Finsternis | Excerpt from 'Wanderers Nachtlied' for string-sextet (1999) by Peter Heeren published on 2023-11-01T17:54:47Z With regard to the section "Light/Darkness," it is noteworthy that Goethe, in his "Theory of Colors," explains that the generation of colors requires both light and darkness, brightness and darkness, or more generally, light and non-light. The idea is that the string musicians occasionally play so softly that the sound becomes brittle. The string sextet 'Wanderer's Night Song' was premiered on September 12, 1999, in the Maria Magdalene Church in Marne by the Brahms Sextet (Stefan Wagner, Mayumi Shjimizu: Violin / Hirofumi Fukai, Jakob Zeijl: Viola / Jury Bertelmann, Michael Katzenmaier: Cello) and is dedicated to the Brahms Sextet.
