Am Abend (2026)

clarinet, cello and piano

This work was also composed for the Trio Auturja, just like Two songs for three Instruments (2025), and it is specifically dedicated to Junko Tsuchiya. This work also takes the lives of children and parents as inspiration. The first movement is a collage of two songs from my song cycle Sing saam met My! (2014) – specifically the songs Wiegeliedjie (Lullaby) and Speelgoedliedjie (Toy song). The second song is a version of Liedjie-vir-as-baba-nie-kan-slaap-nie which closes Sing saam met My!.

The two songs in this collection can be performed separately. If they are performed together, they should be performed in this order with a short silence between the two songs.
