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.

Our customers who usually buy hymn-based organ music have been quite taken with Mr. Stover's original, non-hymn-based pieces! (See his Tambourine, 10-437, for example.) His Blue Prelude is exactly what the title indicates; it's introspective with complex and lush harmonies. An Art Deco†homage to Gershwin, Ellington, and other composers of the ‘30s and ‘40s- it's perfect for an unusual piece on a recital. While we don't exactly rule out using it in worship, it might be a tad too sultry!

Charles Gounod composed this Requiem under the impact of the death of his four-year-old grandson, Maurice. According to information handed down, while finishing the details of this work he was overtaken by death. It was published posthumously in various constellations by his pupil, Henri Busser, but the only complete version from the pen of Gounod is the version for large orchestra, which is published here for the first time in a critical edition. Gounod's Requiem, unlike many contemporary settings of the Mass of the Dead, is not characterized by darkness and terror. Rather, with all of its trepidation - expressed through a marked chromaticism - an atmosphere of hopeful expectation, of trust in the grace and equity of the divine judge predominates. This confidence finds its expression in the choice of the fundamental key of C major, which is rather unusual for a requiem. The work was given an impressive performance on the occasion of the first anniversary of Gounod's death in the Parisian church of Sainte-Madeleine under the direction of Gabriel Fauré and it was highly acclaimed by the contemporary press. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2731500.
