Martin Christoph Redel conceived this sequence of songs as a lighter and humorous counterpoint to his composition Bekenntnissplitterscored for the same instruments. The eight Morgenstern poems set to music include classics such as the Twelve-Eleven, the doesies folding their little toesies in prayer, the song of praise to the seagull and the Wastrel’s Feast. If the onomatopoeia of the original poems already calls for a musical setting, the composer tried to “intensify or even exaggerate the inherent bizarreness through instrumental effects, characterising rhythms and significant motifs”.
