JOURNALIST: Herr Hübner, what can you tell us about your “Hymns of the Domes”?

PETER HÜBNER: The dome is in architecture what the fairy-tale is in philosophy – the smallest unit with the greatest diversity. We find the corresponding in nature in the material area with the atom and/or in the microcosm of music with the tone.

The great master builders of domes when building their domes try to apply the laws of harmony of the microcosm of music in their architecture – and/or the Creator’s laws of harmony or the cosmos or nature.
These brilliant master builders had no doubts that harmony with the Creator also includes observing and/or applying his laws of harmony to all areas of life – i.e. also in their own field of activity: in architecture.

The great master builders and/or their clients wanted to support the individual believer in his change of direction towards God by recalling the Creator’s laws of harmony. The “Hymns of the Domes”, which have been created according to these laws of harmony of the Creator, have the same purpose.

The original synonym for “dome” is the “individual human soul”.

“I do not beleive that God reveals himself to one man more than to another. In my opinion, we all have at birth the same relationship to that Power. However, many things militate against us – heredity, environment, opportunity, early education, etc. For instance, an atheistic upbringing is fatal. No atheist has ever created anything of great and lasting value.”

“According to eternal, immutable great laws we must all complete the circle of our existence.”

Goethe, “Divinity”

“I know several young composers who are atheists. I have read their scores, and I assure you, that they are doomed to speedy oblivion, because they are utterly lacking in inspiration. Their works are purely cerebral. The great Nazarene knew that law also, and He proclaimed it in John 15:4, ‘The branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine.’ No atheist has ever been or ever will be a great composer.
Jesus answers that question unequivocally in Matthew 7,13: ‘Wide is the gate and broad the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat.’
As I conceive it, theology is man-made, while religion is God-made.”
