Catholic and Protestant churches are familiar with the tradition that in times of crisis, new works are composed to comfort the faithful, and are performed in worship. Following in this tradition, the project Orgelmusik in Zeiten von Corona (Organ Music in Times of Corona) was devised. 17 new compositions were commissioned which reflect Corona times, creatively confront the past and the present, and will enrich the repertoire of organ music in a lasting way.
The 17 compositions depict a wide range of styles including avant-garde, jazz and classical, and some refer to music from previous eras and church music traditions. They are conceived for different levels of difficulty, are for 2 or 3-manual organs, and last between four and ten minutes. They are particularly suitable for concerts, but can also be played in church services.
* 17 thematic reflections on the Corona pandemic: on the horsemen of the apocalypse, the Coeur bleu, the thunder of time, timelines, trust and confidence, and many more
* compositions by Timo Bocking, Kathrin A. Denner, Barbara Dennerlein, Dorothee Hahne, Peter Michael Hamel, Frank Heckel, Dorothea Hofmann, Nicole Johanntgen, Anna Korsun, Roland Kunz, Eckhart Kuper, Johannes M. Michel, Iris Rieg, Maximilian Schnaus, Enjott Schneider, Dominik Susteck, and Maximilian Wallrath
* stylistic variety and breadth - from classically-influenced compositions, through jazz and pop, to avant-garde and experimental sounds
* different levels of difficulty, for 2 or 3-manual organ, 4 to 10 minutes' duration
* suitable for concerts and church services.

Die Ostersequenz Victimae paschali laudes hat mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit den Dichter und Historiografen Wipo von Burgund ( nach 1046) als Urheber. Sein Beitrag zur Osterliturgie zählt zu den am häufigsten tradierten Sequenzen des Mittelalters und blieb auch nach der Reduktion dieser Gesänge durch das Trienter Konzil auf fünf für das gesamte Kirchenjahr in Gebrauch. Die Melodie wurde aber auch mit Vorliebe für Lieder in der Volkssprache, wie Christ ist erstanden, verwendet. Entsprechend der im Mittelalter üblichen Anwendung des Tempus perfectum als Ausdruck der trinitarischen Vollkommenheit bei liturgischen Gesängen ist die vorliegende Orgelversion der Sequenz im Dreiertakt verfasst. Dreimal wird die Durchführung der Sequenzmelodie in verschiedenen Stimmen durch Zitieren des Choralanfangs von Christ ist erstanden im Pedal interpoliert. Es ist mir noch ein Anliegen anzumerken, dass während der Arbeit an dieser Komposition meine Frau Ruth in die Ewigkeit abberufen wurde. Deshalb möchte ich ihr dieses Stück in österlicher Zuversicht widmen. (Walter Gleißner).

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.
