Fragments allemands et français de Rilke à partir des années 1911 à 1921 constituent la base du texte de cette composition. Reimann voit Rilke en affinité avec Kafka. Le langage tonal ne se perd pas dans les rêves, comme c'est souvent le cas dans les milieux de Rilke, mais dramatique et conflictuelle, aboutissant à la percussion percussive du piano au passage du texte: 'à deux visages sur les deux poings' / Soprano Et Piano

German and French fragments by Rilke from the years 1911 to 1921 form the basis of the text of this composition. Reimann sees Rilke in affinity with Kafka. The tonal language is not lost in dreams, as is often the case in Rilke settings, but dramatic and confrontational, culminating in the percussive hammering of the piano at the text passage: 'with two faces on the two fists'.

World premiere Halle, January 27, 1987 The composition was inspired by the sculpture La Meditation by Auguste Rodin which the composer came into contact with during an exhibition at the Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Rilke wrote about this sculpture: never before has a human body been concentrated like this around its inner essence never before has it been strained like this by its own soul and eased again by the elasticity of its own blood.

This cycle of orchestral songs sets four poems from an early collection by Rilke entitled Das Stundenbuch, or in English, Book of Hours. Although the title refers to a medieval book of prayers for the various times of day and seasons of the liturgical year, Rilke's texts occupy a position some distance from conventional piety. There is a melancholy to the spirituality expressed here, which speaks of an experience of God that is fragmentary, imperfect, and unattainable. The solitude evoked in the second song (as layers of busy activity are gradually peeled away) offers some solace, but the third song is very dark and fierce, filled with a desperate, even manic desire for God. The last song returns to the mood of the first, but now in a global rather than individual context. This song, like the set as a whole, speaks of our world's brokenness, yet strives to stammer fragments of God's name.
