Taking as a basis the events at the funeral service for Pope John Paul I, the conclave, the inauguration of the new pope, and the visit of Benedict XVI at the Synagogue of Cologne, through “Benedicere - Litanei”, Helmschrott presents a piece of 'experienced music'. He translates his experiences into music - which is exemplified in the All Saints' Day litany that was heard again and againat the festivities in Rome, or the shofar which was played in Cologne. He sees his work as a symbol of what he has experienced and an invocation of the past, as an appeal for a better future.
