16. Gamelan Serenade
(Kommet, ihr Hirten,
lyrics: Karl Riedel, 1870,
melody from Olmütz)

The idea for this music comes from imagining people gathered after work to join in telling stories.

Little by little the conversation gets going, each one contributes his part, and in the course of the story the common theme becomes clear.

Eventually it has gotten late, voices become silent, it is time to rest for the night . . .
