Dream and longing - themes that found their place in the music of the late Romantic period and can be found not only in German but also in Hebrew literature at this time. The songs by German-Jewish composers and lyricists were collected in the German-Jewish Songbook of 1912. As part of an arrangement competition organized by the German Choral Association, German and Israeli composers in particular were invited to make contemporary arrangements of these songs for various choral ensembles. The pieces last approx. 3-6 minutes each and are based on either a German or a Hebrew song or a fusion of the two. They can be performed by chamber choirs in a sacred or secular context and are of medium difficulty. The world premiere took place as part of the German Choral Festival 2025 in Nuremberg. The works build a musical bridge between cultures and are an important part of the German-Jewish culture of remembrance.

Mixed choir (SATB) a cappella or piano or organ or guitar.
