Written in 1864 under the impact of the American Civil War, Henry W. Longfellow's poemaChristmas Bellsaarticulates the yearning for peaceful coexistence. In Michael Aschauer's setting, the tone-painting represented Christmas bells announce peace to the world in a style almost reminiscent of folk songs. The sombre tones which suddenly interrupt to give graphic expression to humanity's doubt fade away again - it is the bells which speak the truth and reaffirm the protection of God's omnipresence. This choral piece with its subtle reflection of the text and its captivating melody will not fail to affect the audience in Christmas concerts and religious services.
