The Promise of Sleep

This book takes up the growing prevalence of sleep disorders affecting these processes and the panorama of pharmaceutical tools that have evolved for their medical care. Its wide-ranging discussion promises not only recent updates on their clinical management but a contemporary window into sleep’s cross-cutting relevance for the many neurological dysfunctions now known to associate with sleep disturbances.

The evocation of the night, the predilection theme of the German Romanticism, has inspired many poets and musicians. From Weihnachten (Christmas night) to Sphärenmusik (music of the spheres) by way of the Abendstern (evening star) and the Symphonic Chorale of Karg-Elert Nun ruhen alle Wälder (all the woods are now at rest) also subtitled Abendlied, the night is alternately here the promise of the good news on Christmas Eve, a metaphor of the eternal sleep or the dawn of a new day in another world.The program of this disc, emblematic of the Germanic Post-Romanticism, is directly inspired by the authentically preserved German aesthetic of the Great Organ Link of Mirepoix Cathedral. Heard are some rare and original works from Sigfrid Karg-Elert where the organ, the violin and the voice are blending with each other.
