Today marks the release of part 3 from Songs of War and Peace, the powerful composition by Willem Wander van Nieuwkerk reflecting on the Thirty Years’ War.
Grimmig Tod und Heilig Kind contrasts a grim dance of death with the fragile comfort of a Moravian lullaby. A confrontation between darkness and innocence that feels disturbingly relevant in today’s world.
Those who do not know the past face an uncertain future. This music invites us not to turn away, but to listen – to echoes of conflict, and to the faint glimmer of hope that remains.
Listen now to part 3 of Songs of War and Peace on your favourite streaming platform.
