"Originally written for a concert commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, “Aus tiefer Not” draws upon the tune and text of a hymn written by Martin Luther. The first line of the German hymn, 'Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir,' translates roughly to 'From deep affliction I cry out to you.' While I intend the music to create a space for contemplation or prayer, I also seek to express the voice of the text: a desperate call to a distant God." - from an email sent to our website
