The "Proprium for a saint festival" for four-part choir and obligatory organ was composed by Hans Gebhard in 1998. Proprium is the term used to describe the parts of Mass that change from one festival to another (in contrast to the Ordinarium, the texts that are always consistent, such as Kyrie, Gloria, etc.).

The motet received the 2nd prize in the composition competition of the Archdiocese of Paderborn (Germany) in 1998.

The composition "An den Tod" (To the death) op. 73.1 for boys' choir and male choir based on words by Gerrit Engelke (1890-1918) was written in 1937. As the composer himself fell in the fight at an age of 36 barely three years later at the beginning of the Second World War, this work seems like a foreshadowed anticipation on the own destiny.

Lyrics:

An den Tod                                       To death
Gerrit Engelke (1890–1918)                         Gerrit Engelke (1890–1918)
 
Mich aber schone, Tod,                           But spare me, death,
Mir dampft noch Jugend blutstromrot –        Youth is still steaming me blood red
Noch hab ich nicht mein Werk erfüllt,         I have not fulfilled my work yet,
Noch ist die Zukunft dunstverhüllt –              The future is still covered with haze
Drum schone mich, Tod!                             So spare me, death!
 
Wenn später einst, Tod,                             When later, once, death,
Mein Leben verlebt ist, verloht                   My life is spent, burned up
Ins Werk wenn das müde Herz sich neigt, Into the work when the tired heart declines,
Wenn die Welt mir schweigt –                         When the world falls silent to me
Dann trage mich fort, Tod!                         Then carry me away, death!

„Als ich in der Nacht vom 17. zum 18. Juni 1813    "When on the night of the 17th to the 18th of June, 1813,
schwer verwundet und hilflos in einem Holze lag    I was severely wounded and helpless in a wood and
und zu sterben meinte:“                                        said to die:"
 
Die Wunde brennt, die bleichen Lippen beben.   The wound burns, the pale lips quiver.
Ich fühl's an meines Herzens matter'm Schlage,         I feel it in the weaker beating of my heart,
Hier steh ich an den Marken meiner Tage. –              Here I stand at the marks of my day.
Gott, wie du willst, dir hab' ich mich ergeben. –      God, as you wish, I surrendered to you.
 
Viel gold'ne Bilder sah ich um mich schweben,         I saw many golden images floating around me
Das schöne Traumlied wird zur Todtenklage! –         The beautiful dream song becomes a threnody!
Mut! Mut! Was ich so treu im Herzen trage,          Courage! Courage! – What I carry so faithfully in my heart,
Das muß ja doch dort ewig mit mir leben! –              That must live there forever with me!
 
Und was ich hier als Heiligtum erkannte,               And what I recognized here as a sanctuary,
Wofür ich rasch und jugendlich entbrannte,           Wherefore I burned quickly and youthfully,
Ob ich's nun Freiheit, ob ich's Liebe nannte,           Whether I call it freedom, whether I called it love,
 
Als lichten Seraph seh ich's vor mir stehen, –            As a shining Seraph, I see it standing before me,
Und wie die Sinne langsam mir vergehen,              And as the senses slowly pass me by,
Trägt mich ein Hauch zu morgenroten Höhen.        A touch carries me to morning-red heights.

A musical-philosophical poem

This piece of music is about the psy-chogram of a modern person who is affect-ed by the feeling of always experiencing the eternal return of the same thing in a hamster wheel. Despite narrowness and repetition, it also has its good points: relia-bility and predictability, safety and happy moments, but also the strength to stay  in the hamster wheel . In return you receive reward for possession and power. Musical-ly, this is expressed with irregularly ac-cented but energetic eighth notes as a drive. The four-bar periodic appears symmetrical, but is broken asymmetrically in its 3-1 con-stellation, which later changes into a three-bar periodic.
But people always want more and thus feel a convergence of a developing becoming and being. However, the tasks of life – pre-sented in the form of additional and con-stantly changing topic and rhythm com-plexes – result in an overload. This causes stress, which increases to the point of col-lapse. The hamster wheel becomes unbal-anced, an impending heart attack is ignored, and it quickly bursts. The result: chaos, floating between life and death, extreme pain. Soon, however, recovery slowly sets in and with it hope for new harmony. A subsequent chorale and prayer express grat-itude. A  Zwiefacher1 shows, not without irony, the futile and ultimately pointless attempt to achieve a new simplicity. Inevi-tably it goes back to the apparently mean-ingful element of life, the hamster wheel, which now spins even faster and seals fate.
