Music in Heimat
In the episode "The Happiest People in the World" (1989) of Heimat 3, Clarissa Lichtblau played by Salome Kammer sings aria, "When I am laid in earth", commonly known as "Dido's Lament" from the opera, Dido and Aeneas, by Henry Purcell.
In the last episode of Heimat 3, "Farewell to Schabbach" (1999), Clarissa Lichtblau performs excerpts from two lied that belong to Wolfgang Rihm's cycle "Das Rot" (1990) - (No. 2 Ist alles stumm und leer and No. 1 Hochroth). The text is by the early romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode. Cycle's original orchestration was for voice and piano but here the excerpts are being performed by Clarissa on voice, clarinet, cello, vibraphone and Hermann Simon on piano.

When he was two ...”
