Three love poems for six voices after texts by August Stramm (2005)
Solo for viola dŽAmore (2000)
... for viola and six voices (2005)

The improbability of love, the inexplicable closeness that is articulated in August Stramm's love poems is taken up by Georg Friedrich Haas as micro-tonal, virtuoso music for voices and viola: a rush of vowels and vocals, slow-motion transformations of timbre and, at the same time, expressive gesture. The will o' the wisp beauty of a dense mesh of voices is combined with the thematic linguistic determination of vocal music tradition.
