Five invocations for percussion solo were composed in 1983 and are intended for a sacred space. They are very personal invocations with different characters.
In the last invocation, the chorale "Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu Dir" is the structural starting point of the composition. A very subjective interpretation of the "de profundis".
