Unter dem Sternenhimmel des Rheins

             Under the starry sky of the Rhein / Bajo el cielo estrellado del Rín

·        Commissioned by and dedicated to Benedict Klöckner

·        Length: 4 minutes

·        Mood: epic, cinematic, lyrical

·        Description: This piece was commissioned by German cellist Benedict Klöckner as a companion piece for Bach’s Cello Suites. The composer was particularly inspired by maestro Klöckner’s performance of the Gigue in Bach’s Cello Suite #6, and even incorporates some quotes from that piece in his composition. In his attempt to include other elements that referenced maestro Klöckner’s homeland in Rhineland-Palatinate, he was inspired by the evocative landscapes and medieval castles of the region.

·        Premiere: Benedict Klöckner premiered this piece on July 5th, 2020 at Schloss Burg Namedy in Andernach, Germany.
