St. Nicolas Church in Leipzig: the 9th of October 1989 saw the last great peace prayer with the Beatitudes, followed by the momentous non-violent peace demonstration. The famous film composer Enjott Schneider created a touching monument to the events of Leipzig by setting the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount to music.In his motet for mixed choir, string trio, bassoon and organ, he captures the extraordinary mood of that day musically in three movements (I In Not - In time of need, II Barmherzigkeit - Mercy, III Hoffnung - Hope).The demanding, yet impressive choral work is perfect for church services.

With his organ symphonies, the composer Enjott Schneider (born 1950) from Munich has been a profound sensation in recent years and seen world premieres at major European organ events. The Organ Symphony No. 6 'Te Deum' (premiered at Bruckner's St. Florian above Bruckner's tomb in 2008 and recorded there on CD) adopts the five-part structure and several motifs from Bruckner's 'Te Deum', thus becoming a forceful compact work pervaded by the Gotteslob. 1: 'Te Deum' is based on Bruckner's original figuration of fifths and eighths which is connected with the Latin Te Deum; 2: 'Te Ergo' is a 'preghiera' with pleading and praying gestures; 3: 'Aeterna fac' is an extremely virtuoso perpetuum mobile; 4: 'Salvum Fac' a basso ostinato and finally 5: 'In te, Domine speravi' a toccata which, after taking many detours, inevitably leads to the C major.

Schneider's Organ Symphony No. 1 is in the tradition of the French organ symphonies (Widor, Vierne, Durufle). With its general tendency from the desperate dark to the comforting bright, the symphony brings up the air of the praying and pleading of suffering people as a theme. The 'pater noster' as archetype of the prayer is cited in all movements.

This work is an homage of Schneider to Max Reger:Organ Symphony No. 15 does not attempt to adapt Reger's style, which could hardly be made more intense or varied. On the contrary, with 'ardent reductionism' motifs, quotations and fragments are taken out of context like individually dazzling gems and illuminated anew: Reger is considered from a distance in order to approach the mystery of such a genius.

Die acht Sonaten von Guilmant orientieren sich am klassischen Standard. Ursprunglich fur die Cavaille-Coll-Orgel gedacht, lassen sie sich jedoch ebenso gut auf ausserfranzosischen Orgeln ausfuhren. Zur Zeit Ihrer Entstehung waren Sie ein Novum fur die Orgel und ihre Literatur, die beide im 19. Jahrhundert an Bedeutung verloren hatten. Guilmants Kompositionen, reich an Melodik, Harmonik und vollendeter Satztechnik, spiegeln Klangmoglichkeiten und Farbenreichtum der ihm zur Verfugung stehenden Orgeln wider. Sein Einfallsreichtum und seine flussige Kompositionstechnik beeinflussten die Entwicklung der Orgelfuge in ahnlicher Weise, wie Mendelssohn dieses fur die Klavierfuge bewirkt hatte. Im Zeitraum des Vierteljahrhunderts, in dem Guilmant seine Orgelsonaten schuf, vollzogen sich im Bereich der instrumentalen Spieltechnik bedeutende Veranderungen. An Spieler und Instrument wurden nun grossere Anforderungen gestellt.

On the occasion of the quincentenary of Reformation Day in 2017, the composer Enjott Schneider thoroughly studied Martin Luther the individual and all his contradictions. The result is a brilliant, demanding organ symphony which is perfect for concerts on the subject of Reformation and Martin Luther.The composer describes the five movements of the symphony as follows:'1st movement:Wir glauben all an einen Gott with its quintuplet-like beginning is very Gregorian in style, outlining the range of Lutheran emotionalism between the Middle Ages and the modern era. The irrationality of faith ultimately has priority over any thought and evidence. At the beginning of the movement, sounds of knocking on wood remind of the nailing of the Ninety-Five Theses to the doors of churches in Wittenberg. The chorale melody sometimes hides with an almost rough medieval saltarello, referring to Luther's robustness and vitality with which he knew to carry away even common people.2nd movement:In 1530, the electoral prince of Saxony presented to Luther at Coburg Castle the golden signet ring with the Luther rose which became the symbol of his theology of grace. A white heart with black cross is fixed on a five-petalled rose. To him, white is the colour of angels and ghosts, black stands for the pain of crucification: The just shall live by faith, but by faith in the Crucified. But the fact that the rose and the heart are the dominating symbols shows how Catholic Marian piety remained an ingredient of Luther's spirituality throughout his life. In line with the dominant five-petal structure of the rose, this movement was composed, to a large extent, in accordance with the floating, lyrical rhythm in 5/8 time.3rd movement:The omnipresence of death and dying - from the plague and war to the never-ending dangers of daily life - was an essential part of the world view of that time. Fears ensued that might heighten into the grotesque, e.g. in the pictures of Hieronymus Bosch. The Danse macabre was a popular motif in those years. Luther's chorale Mitten wir im Leben sind / mit dem Tod umfangen from 1524 (Enchiridion from Erfurt) is based on the Gregorian chant Media vita in morte sumus created in France around 750 and, with its idea of transience, inspired a simplistic air.4th movement:The famous confession delivered at the Diet of Worms in 1521, I stand here and can say no more. God help me. Amen, are not Luther's words but the version later used as text for a pamphlet. However, it represents quite plainly the straightforwardness and inevitability of his mission. Musically, it was made into a perpetuum mobile, i.e. a dogged, ostinato and never-ending musical air.5th movement:The Mighty Fortress, on the other hand, is one of the great symbols of Martin Luther which, with its shining C major key, embodies the Protestant ideology and willful nature of the Reformation unlike any other song. Heinrich Heine called it the Marseille anthem of the Reformation, Friedrich Engels the Marseillaise of the Peasants' Wars. This disputability is not thought through to the end but rather interrupted: With a jubilant birdcall version of the melody, the finale shows a rather chamber-music-like side of the ideals of freedom of Christians.'.

Each organ symphony by Enjott Schneider has its own colour and its own theme. Organ Symphony No. 7 'Von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit' is dominated by the theme of 'time': from the flowing rumbling of time in ancient beginnings ('In principio' - 1st movement) and periodic to the intellectually incomprehensible revolving ('Zeit der Sterne' - 2nd movement). After the third movement ('Zeit des Menschen'), a valse triste, infused by an almost humorous hectic atmosphere, the symphony ends with a kind of 'Amen!' in the fourth movement. Schneider sums it up: 'It is good as it is, we do not understand the course of time anyway.' With regard to style, his composition is based on elements of minimal music which he combines with the tradition of the European organ composition; it is at the same time a testimony to the composer's flexibility and versatility.

One of the first things that comes to one's mind when reading the title of Organ Symphony No. 9 'Pathetique' by Enjott Schneider is another work with this epithet: Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6. And that is no coincidence: The composer regards his organ work as an homage to this 'elder sister'. While Tchaikovsky, in a secret programme, made out his own life to be a struggle and long ordeal to the point of his suspected suicide, Enjott Schneider presents those hours as the ultimate tale of woe in which Jesus had well and truly become human, fatefully bearing the pain and misery of all people. 'Gethsemane', 'Geiselung: Ecce homo', 'Golgatha' and 'Grablegung': Maria Magdalena' are the names of the stages and movements. The Greek word 'pathos' means 'strong emotion, feeling, passion or suffering' - in Schneider's Organ Symphony No. 9, this comes true, musically, in his inner conflict, struggle, wrestling with his fate, cruelty of the crucifixion and deathly silence.

In allen Kulturen der Erde steht der veranderliche Mond fur das Ratselhafte, Dunkle, Weibliche, Flussige, Magische, Unfassbare, Irrationale. Er beeinflusst die Launen von Mensch, Tier, Pflanzen und Wetter wie kein anderer Himmelskorper. Ihm sind die sperrigen Zahlen 7 und 13 zugeordnet.In der aus vier enigmatischen Satzen bestehenden 13. Orgelsinfonie werden einige dieser Facetten thematisiert: Satz 1 'Neumond' spinnt von einem Zentralklang ausgehend musikalische Faden, die sich farbenreich immer wieder ins Nichts verlieren und sich jeder thematischen Logik sperren. Satz 2 uber die 'Mondgottinnen' ist ein vitaler Tanz im 13/8-Takt, der stets neue Anordnungen der 3+3+3+2+2-Gruppierungen prasentiert. Eine Hommage an Robert Schumann stellt der 3. Satz uber die 'Mondnacht', eines der schonsten Lieder der Romantik und Vorwegnahme des zustandlichen Impressionismus der franzosischen Moderne, dar. Mit einer 'Ciacona lunatica' wird im letzten Satz dem Wachsen und majestatischen Erscheinen des 'Vollmondes' gehuldigt - mit Variationen uber ein geheimnisvolles Bass- und Harmoniemodell. (Enjott Schneider).

As professor at the Munich Academy of Music, the German organist and composer Harald Feller (*1951) not only takes care of the young generation of musicians and is in the limelight as a soloist, but also adds to the organ repertoire by writing major new works. 'Te Deum' is based on the beginning of the Gregorian melody of the Ambrosian hymn. Using polyrhythmic structures, canonic elements and ostinato rhythms, Feller turns a small cell into ecstatic music in the praise of God - 'Te Deum': a powerful symphonic organ work!

In his Organ Symphony No. 8 'In Memoriam', following an idea of the cathedral organist Silvius von Kessel from Erfurt (and dedicatee of the work), Enjott Schneider carries on where Anton Bruckner left off, processes themes from the latter's Symphony No. 8 variatively and contrasts it to 'Haus-Choral des Erfurter Doms', 'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme'. Bruckner's material is used as a starting point and further developed by Schneider in four movements: typically enough, the initial movement is called 'Metamorphosen' before an almost eerie atmosphere is created in a 'Scherzo sinistro'. The twelve-note series (in the third movement), embedded in a transcendental mood, eventually develops into the chorale which, now as main theme of the finale, amalgamates with Bruckner's stylistic moments and leads to a magnificent end - an exciting and rousing piece of music.
