Background: The opera Die Harmonie der Welt is without any doubt one of Hindemith's major works based on the work of the astronomer, astrologist, theologian, philosopher and mathematician Johannes Kepler (1571- 1630). The writing for brass is particularly fine.

His textbook The Craft of Musical Composition, was clearly influenced by Kepler's five books of his Harmonices Mundi (1619), demonstrating the plan behind the creation of the world and the cosmos. As early as 1939, Hindemith had conceived the idea of a Kepler opera, to be called Die Harmonie der Welt, with the focus of the opera on Kepler's difficult personal life in a time of dramatic political and social revolution (the Renaissance, Reformation, and Counterreformation). The completion of the full opera score would occupy Hindemith until 30 May 1957 using music from Kepler's time and in particular by Johann Hermann Schein.
