Diletto Musicale
Several works by Detlev Glanert have premièred in Halle/Saale, including his childrens opera Die drei Rätsel. So it is small wonder that the Internationales Kinderchorfestival Halle (International Childrens Choir Festival, Halle) commissioned Glanert to write a work for childrens choir for its 2004 festival. The work catches the quiet nocturnal mood of the lyrical nature poem as well as the Summen, murmeln, flüstern, rieseln der Quelle auf den Kieseln und den Bienen um die Linde (humming, murmuring, whispering, trickling of the spring on the pebbles and the bees around the lime tree).
