FUNERAL ORATIONS FOR THE LIVING

Kurt Marti's lyrical funeral speeches are classics. Since they were first published, they have lost none of their topicality and brilliance. The choir inscriptum and an ensemble of actors musically combined the texts with works from the Renaissance, Romanticism and the present day. These ranged from the hit song "Wochenend und Sonnenschein" from the 1920s to contemporary choral compositions.
