Programme note
Morpheus in the Greek mythology is the most powerful of the Oneroi, the gods of dreams. He is the one who sends us our dreams and he may appear to us within the dreams in disguise.
Analogous to the logic of dreams, in Morpheus everything is interwoven, as chains of associations appear to logically lead us from one line of thought to another. Everything seems strangelyfamiliar. But the logic is treacherous and we already feel, it may only be valid within the dream. Nothing that appears similar is actually ever really the same.
Half awakening, we struggle to hold on to a vanishing world we felt we were on the verge of understanding, but which we already know will eventually escape us when we fully awake.
Everything remains a mystery until the end.
The seven movements/dreamscapes are:

Die Komposition entstand Juli bis November 1984 im Auftrag des Norddeutschen Rundfunks fur die Tage der Neuen Musik Hannover 1985. Der Titel ,,Passion ist in seinem mehrdeutigen Sinn zu verstehen, wie ich ihn einerseits in Bachs Matthaus-Passion widergespiegelt finde, hier besonders im letzten Choral in der Zeile ,,wenn mir am allerbangsten, auf die mich einst Uwe Rohl aufmerksam machte, andererseits in Trakls Gedicht ,,Passion (s. u.).Meine Musik ist primar ,,Medium der Selbstbegegnung. Dass sie sich hier zugleich auf Bach und Trakl bezieht, ist kein Widerspruch. Auch Bach und Trakl sind fur mich ,,aktuell - als Medium der Selbstbegegnung. Die Perspektiven von Bachs und Trakls ,,Passion bedingen sich, vertauschen sich (Trakls ,,Passion - Bachs Traum? Bachs ,,Passion - Trakls Er-Innerung, wie der Orpheusmythos? Bach - der Expressionist? Trakl - der Mystiker?). In der Wechselbeziehung beider erkenne ich mich, meine ,,Umwelt, unsere Betroffenheit: ,,wenn mir am allerbangsten, ,,wandelnd an den schwarzen Ufern, ,,schauen wir uns am Kreuzweg ...
