Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern (for Choir)

Part of the cycle "Verwandelte Nacht".

From the very beginning, the melody is strongly fragmented, rhythmically greatly stretched, and broken down into frozen single tones that evoke the unchanging radiance of the morning star. Harmonically, the work is based on diatonic chord structures organized in rows, later giving way to chromatic ones. Over the course of the piece, soloistic melodies rise above the chordal processes like a sunrise.
