Variations on a
Theme of Haydn (2017) was
written for organist
Christoph Hintermuller
who asked for a work
based on the national
anthem of Germany. The
anthem's tune was written
in 1797 by Joseph Haydn
(1732-1809). (In
English-speaking
countries, Haydn's tune
is sung as the hymn
AUSTRIAN HYMN, usually
with John Newton's text
Glorious Things of Thee
Are Spoken.) The music
consists of five
contrasting variations
plus a recapitulation of
the opening variation.
The first variation is
broad and festive; the
second variation is
pastoral in character;
the third has a
scherzando character; the
fourth is marked hypnotic
and atmospheric; and the
fifth is a quasi-musette.
The first variation
returns as a finale
before a brief coda.
