Diepenbrock was never trained professionally as a musician – he learned mainly from experience and read as many books as he could about music history and music theory. One of the fields in which he was especially interested was the theatre, particularly great classical tragedies. During the last ten years of his life Diepenbrock composed the stage works heard here, where he endeavoured to combine the music in various ways with the theatrical elements of dance and recitation.
