Heinrich Kaminski’s first work, Psalm 130, op. 1a, is one of his most popular compositions. Kaminski began his compositional career late, only after he studied economics in Heidelberg. He was professor at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin, teaching alongside Arnold Schoenberg, but then withdrew to the small Bavarian village of Ried when the Nazis came to power. His compositions are not tied to any particular set of religious beliefs, since Kaminski believed the act of composing was itself a “sacred act”. Throughout his life, Kaminski navigated his own path between the competing currents of lateRomanticism and Modernism.
