Procession

Barblina Meierhans' new work is about melting processes, about the inexorability of these processes, too, as we have to expect when glaciers melt. Something similar happens in Enno Poppe's Procession; we experience a stream of sound in which each individual instrument is washed to the surface once and becomes audible as a soloist. In the two large-scale and richly orchestrated works, the magnificent acoustics in the church of St. Peter become the third dimension of the sound experience.
