Heinz Holliger set to music melancholy texts for his eight-part cycle of songs, premiered in 2013, which remind the listeners of the transience and progress of life. The texts range from the medieval Christian mysticism of Mechthild of Magdeburg to Japanese haiku poems from the 18th century (buson) to the contemporary artists Catrin Demenga and Sylvia Nopper.
