Schon bei
Ravel, Gershwin oder
Strawinsky findet man die
Verbindung des
schwermutigen
Blues-Charakter mit dem
melodischen und
klanglichen Duktus der
Kunstmusik. Auf der Basis
der bildhaften
Formulierung 'I feel
blue' (Ich fuhle mich
traurig), die der
weltlich-vokalen
Ausdrucksform der
Farbigen ihren Namen
gibt, lasst sich eine
direkte Brucke zum
popularen Passionslied 'O
Traurigkeit, o Herzeleid'
schlagen. Wittrichs
'Choral-Blues' spielt mit
jazz-typischen
Harmoniefolgen (changes),
triolisch gepragtem
Groove mit
charakteristischen
Bordun-Stutzen und einer
'Lamento'-Grundstimmung,
die sich melodisch in
chromatisch fallenden
Linien aussert. Das
stereotype 12-taktige
Blues-Schema bleibt dabei
ausgeklammert. Ein
wertvoller Beitrag zur
Erweiterung des
Orgelrepertoires, das
sich seit einigen
Jahrzehnten auch fur
populare Musikformen aus
Rock, Pop und Jazz in den
Kirchenraumen geoffnet
hat.

The Blue
Rose Variations is one of
several works in which
the composer has drawn on
ragtime and blues. The
organ work is based on
two transformations of
the popular piano piece
To A Wild Rose (Woodland
Sketches, Op.51 No.1) by
the American composer,
Edward MacDowell
(1860-1908). During the
course of the Variations,
To A Wild Rose appears as
a blues and also as a
classical rag, often as
both together. The
sections are Theme: a
quiet blues; Variation I:
a pedal solo in varied
metres based on the blues
in fast tempo; Variation
II: the first appearance
of the rag as a
background to the blues
as a 2' pedal solo;
Variation III: a version
of Variation I now
involving manuals too;
Variation IV: another
blues solo against the
rag; Variation V: another
version of Variation I
with the pedal solo
almost entirely
transferred to the
manuals; Variation VI: a
final confrontation
between the blues and the
rag, now much decorated.
First performed in New
York in April 1986.
