The three
movement Concerto da
chiesa is the last organ
work by Hermann Schroeder
(1904-1984), composed a
few months before his
death. The premiere was
performed by Clemens
Ganz, then organist at
the Cathedral of Cologne,
in memory of the esteemed
teacher and college
colleague. The
three-movement
composition is an
unmistakable 'Schroeder'
work: emphasis of
linearity according to
high baroque standards,
conciseness and sometimes
impulsive gestures of the
themes and rhythms,
layers of parallel chords
within a freely tonal
modern harmony, not
forgetting the plasticity
of form and the motor
functions which are
surprisingly energetic
for an
eighty-year-old.
