The profound text "Laß uns das Glück aus deinen Händen nehmen" by Martin Hummel was given an appropriate setting by Bertold Hummel: the wide-ranging melodic line of the voice rises on the harmonically varied sound surface of the accompanying instrument. An airy, moving middle section alternates with the sustained alla breve section, which forms the formal framework as the opening and closing sections. A rewarding task for soloists who do not want to offer the usual "Wedding Ave".
