To the People of (New York City) draws upon the songs with English lyrics that Peer Raben composed for the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, as well as one song from Chantal Akerman’s film The Eighties (1983). For each performance of the work, its title adapts to the city in which it is performed. The work oscillates between the familiarity of a pop song and the wall of sound produced by an orchestral ensemble.
