Description:
Wilhelm Middelschulte (1863-1943) studied church music in Berlin and worked as director of the organ department of the American Conservatory in Chicago and the Wisconsin Conservatory in Milwaukee from 1891. As an organ virtuoso, he was an educator in the USA. No less a figure than Ferruccio Busoni described Middelschulte as a master of counterpoint and the greatest counterpoint composer since J. S. Bach. Middelschulte's oeuvre consists exclusively of organ works.
He was a modern classicist, firmly rooted in the tradition of the 19th century on the one hand, but also endeavoring to transcend his era through a strong reference back to baroque contrapuntal forms, in particular the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. The ideal of Romantic virtuosity was thus combined with a musical concept which, despite its historical models, was far more than mere historicism.
The Passacaglia in D minor is formally on the same level as Bach's famous C minor Passacaglia . The Canones and Fugue on the Chorale 'Our Father in the Kingdom of Heaven' demonstrate a formal rigor that is typical of Middelschulte's work.
