Description:
Introduction:
The "Durchwachte Nacht" by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff forms the focus of this lyrical concert. Sensitive night poems by Grimmeishausen, Claudius, Hölderlin, Novalis, Eichendorff, Brentano and Christian Wagner allow the evening and night to be experienced in a different mood in each case. The organ music composed to accompany the poems brings these diverse moods of the night to life. From time to time, a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe or a Japanese short poem, a "haiku", interrupts the romantic flow of text and music.
Preliminary remark:
The background music p. 6/7, 14, 28 and 36 (which are to be played in an "aleatoric" selection to match the texts) are all to be interpreted with a more or less closed swell on the SW.
In organs without a SW, pages 8, 16, 30 and 38 should instead be played with as discreet an 8′ stop as possible (as notated, monophonic in a low to middle register) in an "aleatoric" selection, again following the ideas of the texts.
The single percussion stroke at the final chord of each of the six large organ meditations (alternating: small gong / triangle; last meditation: first gong, then triangle) is "ad lib." and can also be performed by the organist him/herself: in this case, the ending is played with the left hand only, while the gong or triangle is struck with the right hand.
For the speakers: authors' names and poem titles are not read. The speaking voice always starts after approx. 3-4 seconds of music.
Pages 45, 46 and 47 can be copied as a program and supplemented with the place, date and performer.
