Following the words of Paul Gerhardt’s hymn „O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden“ Oh provides a model for improvisation. Verbal and graphic instructions fix the character of each of the ten parts which are attached to the singular verses of the song. The composition may stimulate „acoustic reflection“ a kind of musical meditation on the words of the hymn.
