In the Silence of the Snowfall

In the silence of the snowfallI can hear you call my nameI no longer see the snowfallYou are gone just the same

We were children togetherWe have children of our ownYou have gone and left meAm I to do this alone?

You took part of meEveryone can seeAnd they have part of you What am I to do?

The better part of meI feel so damned emptyAnd they have part of you What am I to do? written by Stephanie Klco-Brosius in 1998

for my brother David In the torrent of a rainstorm

I see the passion of our yearsSo I stand amid the downpourAnd try and wash away the tears

Twenty years and oneThere is a daughter and a sonThey’re so strong and proudWhy must I scream out loud?

You took part of meEveryone can seeYou know it makes me feel so emptyAnd they have part of you What am I to do?What am I to do?In the silence of the snowfall

I

In the Silence of the SnowfallI would like to thank Jan, Tobias, Klaus, Christian, Matthias, Richie and Joschi. Thank you all for sharing your beautiful talent!

I would also like to thank Patricia Barber for personally sending me the chart for “The New Years Eve Song”.

Thanks also to Gernot Gottschling for generously opening his extraordinary piano house for part of this production.

A very special thanks goes to Christine Rudolf for her passionate contributions of the entire violin and viola tracks!!! Bravissima!

Thanks is also in order to my dear friend and long time colleague Peter Kräubig, not only for his breathtaking piano passages, but for countless hours of preparation, (not to mention long distance moral support via SMS) ;-)

I would also like to thank Christoph Schulz for his unabating patience andincomparable technical expertise.

My immeasurable gratitude goes to Jürgen Knautz, whose creative energy and consummate musicianship have been the life and breath of this project!

Finally, I would like to dedicate this recording to my mother Rosie Klco-Divish, whose dauntless zest for life astounds everyone who has the good fortune to know her!
