The symphonic meditation "Osternacht“ (Easter vigil) was written in 1987. It is subtitled with "Longing for heaven".

In the classical sense the composition could be seen as symphonic poem. By the sacral context it containes also the aspect of an oratorio, which indeed bears characteristics of a church opera by the choreographic instructions given in the score. The composer uses here the ancient German Easter hymn "Christ ist erstanden" (Christ is risen) as well as the Gregorian Liturgy "Victimae pascali laudes" (Easter Antiphon).

The meditation “... und Penthesilea träumt“ (...and Penthesilea deams) op. 34 for 12 Celli by Wilhelm Kaiser-Lindemann has been a commissioned work for the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. The first performance took place on the occasion of the Musikfestival Dresden in the Dresden Semperoper.
Kaiser-Lindeman's composition referes to Hugo Wolf's (1860-1903) symphonic poem “Penthesilea“ based on the eponymous tragedy by the German poet Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811).
