Es ist Nacht,
und mein Herz kommt zu dir,
hält's nicht aus,
hält's nicht aus mehr bei mir.

About Es ist Nacht
This setting for SATB choir opens with the music itself, depicting the stillness of night. The German text expresses a heart that can no longer bear its own solitude, seeking peace and rest by surrendering to another. The music reflects this journey, moving from inner turmoil to a profound sense of belonging. Jens Klimek’s secular composition uses the voices to create moments of both intense introspection and soaring release, capturing the longing and ultimate solace described in the words.
