Edited by the Deutscher Musikrat (German Music Council) with Richard Mailander and Kord MichaelisCatholic 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.* 17 thematic reflections on the Corona pandemic: on the horsemen of the apocalypse, the Coeur bleu, the thunder of time, timelines, trust and confidence, and many more* compositions by Timo Bocking, Kathrin A.

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.

Song of Hope, composed by Kay Johannsen the Kantor of the Stiftskirche in Stuttgart in 2016, is a Fantasia in G minor based on a six-measure melody. It is improvisatory in style and has a melancholy basic character. Over the course of the work, the melodic idea is varied rhythmically several times, and is heard in the treble, tenor and bass registers. Against a quiet basic pulse, the accompanying harmonies appear in the manuals and pedals mostly in subtly matching rhythms, reminiscent of a saxophone soloist with a discreet supporting jazz band. The dynamic of the piece grows from piano to a fundamental forte, and for the conclusion a fine pianissimo is required. Song of Hope is composed for two-manual organ, with a duration of four-and-a-half minutes. The expressive harmonies and the hidden swing of the music communicate directly with audiences, including those with less musical experience.
