Dieses Stuck habe ich ziemlich am Anfang meines Kompositionsstudiums bei Gunter Bialas geschrieben. Es hat noch stark hervortretende ,,satztechnische Elemente, handelt aber in vier Satzen von verschiedenen Ritualen der Orgel beziehungsweise des Orgelspiels. 1. Satz: Das Ritual des Registrierens, 2. Satz: Das Ritual des Kanons in einer komplizierten und virtuosen Form, 3. Satz: Das Ritual der Triosonate beziehungsweise des Trios, 4. Satz: Das Ritual der aleatorischen Improvisation und des tiefen Pedaltones C. (Nicolaus A. Huber, 1991)World premiere: Munich, 1968.

The Bitter Earth (Horka hlina) cantata was written in 1960 and it was originally conceived for a mixed choir and organ. The composer soon found, however, that this instrumental accompaniment limited the performance possibilities of the piece to a certain extent and he therefore created a piano transcription of the organ part for a later edition which was printed in 1987.The composition sets to music the verses of Jaroslav Seifert from the collection Turn Out the Lights (Zhasnete svetla) which was written in the period of the nation's peril prior to the Second World War. The genuine and totally non-cliched patriotism expressed in these texts has long outgrown the historical connection to the moment of their inception and it continues to bear wtness to Seivert's fervent love for this country.

The two organ concertos are marked by somewhat unusual instrumentation. Hector Berlioz warned about a certain antipathy between the organ and orchestral instruments, but with the use of three horns in op. 137 proves to be a fine piece of artistry: Rheinberger supplied tone colors which he had perceived the organ to lack. The trio version of the Suite op. 149 adds to the repertoire of sacred chamber music. Rheinberger's later addition to the work of an ad libitum string orchestra takes this Suite into the world of the triple concerto and the concerto grosso, without exactly corresponding to those genres.

Camille Saint-Saëns verdankt seinen ausgeprägten Personalstil vor allem der frühen und intensiven Beschäftigung mit dem Werk Johann Sebastian Bachs. Ausdruck und Zeugnis dieser Bachverehrung bildet sein Weihnachtsoratorium (Oratoire de Noël), mit dem er das Bach'sche Vorbild aufgreift, das Genre in die französische Romantik überführt, und dessen erster Satz expressis verbis im Stil Bachs gehalten ist. Saint-Saëns' Instrumentalkompositionen wurden bereits zu seinen Lebzeiten in ungewöhnlicher Anzahl von renommierten Organisten für die Orgel bearbeitet. Auch das Weihnachtsoratorium bot dankbaren Anlass, einzelne seiner Sätze für die Orgel zu bearbeiten. So erschienen bereits um 1880 bei Durand (Paris) zwei Sätze (Nr. 7 und 10) in Orgelbearbeitungen, erstellt einerseits von Eugène Gigout (1844-1925), Titularorganist von St. Augustin (Paris), andererseits von Joseph Permann (1842-1920), Organist von Saint-Michel des Lions (Limoges). Während Permann das Trio für drei Gesangstimmen in ein Prière überführte, nahm sich Gigout die Freiheit des Bearbeiters, den Finalsatz zu einer größeren Improvisation über den Schlusschor zu erweitern. Diesen beiden Sätzen hat sich der Herausgeber erlaubt, ergänzend die Bearbeitung des einleitenden Prélude im Stile J.S. Bachs voranzustellen. (Otto Depenheuer).

The three movements that make up Nocturnes, Book I are programmatic pieces that take as their points of departure a painting, the rhythms of a great city, and a poem. 1. The Starry Night is a written down improvisation based on Vincent van Goghs famous picture of the same name. The tonal material is a quite literal transformation of the visual elements of the painting: the melismatic cadenzas mirror van Goghs swirling starlight, and the powerful chords were suggested by the sinister trees that shoot upward to puncture the skys patterns. 2. Stovers Rag is a product of the ragtime revival of the early 1970s, when many composers tried their hand at writing concert rags. The New York night, which was not without its sinister element in those days, is expressed in an updating of the classic ragtime format. The piece looks backward as well, with the old French Baroque basse de trompette making an appearance in the trio section. 3. The Song of Shadows taps the nostalgic mood typical of the poetry of Walter de la Mare. The poem of the same name pictures a lone musician on a winter night, an dog sleeping before a sinking fire, and, at the end, the spirits that are summoned by music. The opening melody, played on an 8 flute with tremulant, suggests the blues-tinged sound of an alto saxophone, and throughout the movement the organs capacity for sustained tone is used to suggest and atmosphere of dreamy timelessness. The pieces were written in 1971 and first performed on July 2, 1972 at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, with the composer at the console.

Gerard Bunk worked in Dortmund and was highly esteemed as a composer and organist by such illustrious contemporaries as Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Max Reger and Albert Schweitzer. His works in the late-romantic vein fell into oblivion in the 1930s with the rise of the Baroque-oriented organ movement. This edition, with commentaries by Jan Bocker, invites us to discover three of Bunk's masterpieces.

During the intensive study of Johann Sebastian Bach's Musical Offering for the creation of a commissioned composition for wind trio, I had the idea of writing a larger organ work on the Royal Theme at the same time. This is how the Three Ricercare came into being. They are multi-part fantasies for organ, which - connected by the frequently transformed thematic material of the Musical Offering and the manifoldly reshaped B-A-C-H motif - alternate between free, rapsodic parts on the one hand and strictly structured parts on the other. For my 60th birthday, W. E. v. Lewinski wrote an appreciation under the title: Music in the span between constraint and freedom. This formulation aptly characterizes the new organ work.

Its bears the subtitle Lament on the Loss of Musical Thought - some Madrigals for Solo Flute or Flute with any other Instruments. This serves as a playing instruction but doubles at the same time as an outmoded programme: it refers back to the musical origin of the opening lamenting motif, a tradition which was once of its time but is not of our time - namely the Lamento genre which gave the title to the Chaconne in Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas. Almost simultaneously I wrote a second version for Piano (for Piano one-and-a-half hands), which already formulates possible approaches for the performer, in some detail, to the indicated, quasi-canonic version of the piece in the programme. The multiple version Ein Hauch von Unzeit III realizes a concrete version of a formal state which floats between strict canon and aleatoric principles: each of the musicians who are spread throughout the hall introduces their own idiomatic translation of the flute part. And so the music exists, omnipresent, not only spatially throughout the hall, but also formally in a sort of fluctuating simultaneity. For that reason, it was my express wish to any potential interpreter that they should construct entirely their own version of the piece. A healthy number of musicians have responded to my suggestion - versions of the piece have now been made for guitar (Cornelius Schwehr, Gunther Schneider), accordion (Hugo Noth), double bass (Fernando Grillo), violin (Hansheinz Schneeberger), viola, violoncello, and double bass (trio basso, Koln), violoncello (Michael Bach), trombone (Andrew Digby) and, created by myself, a sung version for voice (to words by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel und Max Bense), and for viola.The most important requirement for the whole piece is absolute stillness, which should as far as possible emanate from the performer. The pauses are occasionally in this respect the most important element. These may, if one can find the necessary stillness, become very long.Ein Hauch von Unzeit (A Breath of the Untimely) - time almost dissolves!(Klaus Huber, 1989/2014 - translation: David Alberman)CD:Jean-Luc Menet (Bass flute)CD Traversieres 120.270Jean-Luc Menet (fl)CD STR 37039Bibliography:Zimmermann, Heidy: Zeitgestaltung im Kompositionsprozess bei Klaus Huber - dargestellt anhand von Skizzen, in: Mnemosyne.
