The composer writes about his work: The piece was written for the 2006 Spring Festival. The wording of the commission requested me to try to express what a Mozart opera means to our era. It was as a banner rather than as an internal motto that I used this one sentence: Die Strahlen der Sonne vertreiben die Nacht, zernichten der Heuchler erschlichene Macht. ( The rays of the sun expel the night and annihilate the power of the Deceiver ). At that time and in our day too, only as his last utterance in the final act can Sarastro announce this to the people gathered around him. Das Stück wurde für das Frühlingsfestival 2006 komponiert. Der Auftrag lautete, ich solle versuchen zu formulieren, was eine Mozart-Oper für unsere Zeit bedeutet. Eher als Transparent als ein inneres Motto nutzte ich den Satz: ’Die Strahlen der Sonne vertrieben die Nacht...’ Sarastro kann den um ihn Versammelten diesen Satz damals wie auch heute nur als letzten Satz des letzten Aktes verkünden.†(Dániel Dinyés).

The piece was written in 2003, commissioned by the Budapest Spring Festival. The process of the work follows the line of the composer s personal interpretation of the original poem. In this song the original dark, grim ending appears as a sort of cathartic dénouement. The theme is love versus mortality. The work is a kind of wholly composed song written in the 21st century its form derives basically from the text. The narrator begins the story in Sprechgesang and in the final lines of the poem tries to sing in a normal singing voice. This acoustic line is followed by the merging of the sinus tones into the clarinet parts. Thus, basically, a peculiar change of toneintroduced for dramatic purposes constitutes the essence of the song. First performance: March 2003. Das Stück entstand 2003 im Auftrag des Budapester Frühlingsfestivals. Der Verlauf des Werkes folgt der eigenen Interpretationen des Gedichtsoriginales. Das ursprünglich finstere Ende erscheint in diesem Lied wie ein kathartischer Ausgang. Sein Thema ist im Gegensatz zur Vergänglichkeit die Liebe. Das Werk ist eine Art im 21. Jahrhundert entstandenes, durchkomponiertes Lied, seine Form basiert grundsätzlich auf dem Text. Der Erzähler beginnt die Geschichte im Sprechgesang, in den letzten Zeilen des Gedichtes versucht er jedoch bereits mit einer normalen Gesangstimme zu singen. Diesem akustischen Zug folgt die Umschmelzung der Sinustöne in die Klarinettenstimmen. Dadurch schafft einegrundsätzlich auf dramaturgischen Aspekten basierende Änderung im Klang das Wesen des Liedes. Premiere: März 2003.

Based on hymns by Freeman Lewis & Daniel Teasley. Commissioned for the 2020 Handbell Musicians of America Area 5 Spring Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, this piece starts open and stately before launching with rhythmic energy into a Bluegrass-infused toe-tapper. It brilliantly pairs the Freeman Lewis hymn tune BOURBON (I Take My Refuge in the Lord) with a Daniel Teasley hymn of similar assurance. Marts, mallets, plucks, ring-touches and more are sure to excite your concert audiences and congregations alike; and the optional band (fiddle, tambourine, bass, and guitar/mandolin/banjo) may be added in any combination for extra charm!.
