"Out onto the sea! ". It is with these words that Max von Schillings began the programmatic introduction to his orchestral fantasy Seemorgen."Proud power presses on to new goals". This is the same spirit of new beginningsknown to us from Richard Strauss’s Don Juan, and it is not without reason that Strauss always firmly supported both fantasies: »An outstanding sense of musical dramaturgy and a sovereign command of the full orchestra makeSchillings one of our most remarkable contemporaries!« After all, Die Glockenlieder op. 22 numbers among the most compelling works produced by Schillings in the category of vocal symphonic music.
