The piece is a part of Helbig's album Pocket Symphonies, which was released in 2016. Schlaflied is a single-movement piece that lasts for approximately six minutes. The composition is written for a mixed choir and a string orchestra. The piece is characterized by its hauntingly beautiful melody and its use of minimalistic techniques. The piece begins with a soft and gentle melody sung by the choir. The melody is simple and repetitive, creating a sense of calm and tranquility. The string orchestra enters shortly after, adding depth and richness to the sound. The choir and orchestra work together seamlessly, creating a beautiful and harmonious sound. As the piece progresses, the melody becomes more complex, with the choir and orchestra building upon each other's sound. The piece reaches its climax with a powerful and emotional crescendo, before gradually fading away to a peaceful and serene ending. Schlaflied is a beautiful and moving composition that showcases Helbig's talent for creating minimalist music that is both powerful and emotional. The piece is a testament to the power of music to evoke strong emotions and create a sense of peace and tranquility.
