The choral melody „Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir“ is the end we hear the perspective of the non-conscious person. After the lead-in by the tubular bells the music is elusive. the music gives us no clear outlines. Things become clearer from bar 27 onwards, but then get hazy again until the awakening on bar 67 occurs.   Practical tips: The conductor may choose to set up the groups. Ho- wever, group balance should be achieved, as all groups should be equally balanced. Group 2 should ideally be played up to bar 23 by a small group of musicians positioned to the rear of the public. The rest of Group 2 sitting on the stage begins in bar 24. The musicians behind the public pause from bar 24 onwards and start up again on the upbeat to bar 67.   Performance variations for the end (from bar 67): A) Singing by the musicians only: Group 2 and percussionists play the music. Group 1 and 3 sing all 3 verses. B) Singing by musicians and the public: Group 1 and 3 and the percussionists play the music. Group 2 and the public sing all 3 verses. C) Singing by the public only: The public sing all 3 verses. D) Performance without singing: In this version do not repeat bars 67 to the end.
