Ave Maria - Pray at the Hour of Our Death for electronic piano, choir and electronics. by Peter Heeren published on 2023-11-03T09:55:54Z In 1996, I played the organ at the funeral of the German writer Helmut Heißenbüttel. The family had requested a Contrapunctus from Johann Sebastian Bach's "Art of Fugue." Following this, I delved into the works and life of Helmut Heißenbüttel. During the performance of "Ave Maria - Pray at the Hour of Our Death" I accompanied it with a film. In this film, I showcased photos from Helmut Heißenbüttel's life. Towards the end, I illuminated the audience with a bright, all-encompassing light (the spotlights had produced a constant hiss throughout the entire performance). Helmut Heißenbüttel was present at the performance. The piece was a rebellion against death. Genre Classical
