Hermann Schroeder (1904-1984) ranks among the major German organ composers of the 20th century, being an excellent organist himself. Many of his more than 100 organ works deal with themes of the Gregorian chorale. The chorale's modal diatonicism which is freer and different than the later major-minor tonality establishes a perfect symbiosis with the free tonality of the contemporary composer. In the five-movement chorale partita, the more than 1,000 years old Mixolydian Whitsun Sequence of Hrabanus Maurus (9th century) is used in an imaginative and formally varied way: as a virtuoso toccata, in the second movement 'ostinato' as a strict trio setting over a seven-bar ostinato in the pedal, as a capriciously playful 'bicinium', and as a meditative, harmonically appealing 'arioso'. The fifth movement (fantasia ricercare) displays brilliant full-handed chords and virtuoso passages as well as a fugato in the middle section. A rewarding concert piece for Whitsun, with an excellent possibility of virtuoso interpretation and colourful registration.

Commissioned for the 40th birthday of the organist Paul Walton, Walton's Paean is a work of great verve, with compelling rhythms, exciting harmonies, and catchy melodies propelling the celebratory music forward. Through the boisterous excitement, legato passages emerge as the piece hurtles towards the resounding finale.

Die Grundlage des Werks ist eine frei gestaltete choralähnliche Melodie, die sich entsprechend dem Bauweise einer klassischen Passacaglia durch das ganze Stück zieht. Verschiedene Charaktere choralmäßiger Interpretation sind in dieses Werk eingearbeitet und produzieren eine Bedeutungsfeld, das mit dem Begriff choraliter spielt und mehrere Assoziationen konkret werden lässt: choraliter - canonico, chromatico, diatonico, liturgico, fugato und maestoso. Diese Charakteristik bestimmt auch den Sitz der Passacaglia choraliter im kirchenmusikalischen Leben: als Musik im Gottesdienst. Das Werk entstand im Oktober 2017 und hat eine Gesamt-Spieldauer von ungefähr zwölf Minuten. (Bernd Genz).
