This brief a cappella choral miniature is a reflection on the Transfiguration of the Lord, a Scripture passage observed by many Christian traditions just prior to or during the season of Lent (as well as on the Feast of the Transfiguration, August 6). Set in a largely homophonic texture, the piece sparkles with occasional unexpected and delightful chords highlighting the wonder of the Transfiguration.

AGNI by Bernd Franke is a 17-minute work for Bass Clarinet and Orchestra. Agni is the Hindu god of fire and at the same time the elemental and transformative force inherent in everything. In illustrations, Agni is depicted with seven tongues, which stand for the different aspects of his being: creating, sustaining, purifying, priestly, warlike, devastating, destroying, consuming. In the eponymous concerto for bass clarinet and orchestra, Bernd Franke traces the transformation processes initiated by the divine fire in compositional terms. The work was first performed on 23 November 2019 in Großenhain by Volker Hemken (bass clarinet) and Elbland Philharmonie conducted by Ekkehard Klemm.
The full score is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material is available for rent.
