Meine Augen möchte ich erfreuen, Shulamith..., Partitur und Stimmen

Volker David Kirchner?s works encompass every genre; in addition to numerous compositions for musical theatre and for orchestra, this viola player who formerly played in orchestras and chamber ensembles still shows a preference for composing chamber music. Yet even in this field of "pure, absolute" music, Kirchner?s work has a theatrical quality which shows itself very clearly in his choice of titles (e.g. Mysterion, Il canto della notte, Lamento d?Orfeo, Exil).In this Quintet Kirchner manages to use the various possible combinations of the different instruments to create highly expressive music.
