Musikrat (German Music
Council) with Richard
Mailander and Kord
Michaelis
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.
