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.

Famous quotes containing the words music in and/or music:
“When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In benevolent natures the impulse to pity is so sudden, that like instruments of music which obey the touch ... you would think the will was scarce concerned, and that the mind was altogether passive in the sympathy which her own goodness has excited. The truth is,—the soul is [so] ... wholly engrossed by the object of pity, that she does not ... take leisure to examine the principles upon which she acts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
