Veit Erdmann-Abele (*1944): Pensieri Brevi - four recitatives for soprano and flute (2019)

     I. Mit jedem Schritt Höhe wachsen mir Flügel

     II. Ernst scheint die Landschaft und schweigend, aber der lächelnde Himmel   
         darüber verbreitet die Heiterkeit in das kleinste ruhende Ding

     III. Wenn ein Baum spricht mit den Zweigen, muss man schweigen

     IV. Ich brauch mich nur besinnen auf das, was mir gegeben, und danach 
           immer leben, dann kann ich nur gewinnen

Kaija Saariaho (*1952): Changing Light for soprano and flute (2002)

Light and darkness, night and day.
We marvel at the mystery of the stars.
Moon and sky, sand and sea.
We marvel at the mystery of the sun.
Twilight, high noon, dusk and dawn.
Though we are mortal, we are Creation’s crown.
Flesh and bone, steel and stone.
We dwell in fragile, temporary shelters.
Grant steadfast love, compassion, grace.
Sustain us, Lord; our origin is dust.
Splendor, mercy, majesty, love endure.
We are but little lower than the angels.
Resplendent skies, sunset, sunrise.
The grandeur of Creation lifts our lives.
Evening darkness, morning dawn.
Renew our lives as You renew all time.
