In the eleventh month of the year the light will ultimately lose the fight against the darkness, and it grows a sadness about the increasing loss of brightness.
The dead Sunday was quite unexpected ways dominated by sound, sound, there's a third word?
In Hamborn lock it began unexpectedly with the game two Soprano Lyre, a piece of Max Gross. The lyre, this so fragile and exquisite sounding stringed instrument played also by the Greeks is similar to the wind when it engages in continuous tone bars or tubes, a wind chime up.
The interaction of lyres developed a crystalline dyad, a dialogue of both instruments, tender, humble and precious. I suspect that even the composer himself played one of the lyres. That was one side of sound. As presented, with the approval of chance and more acting under the surface, the composition did not show anything and make audible only hint, most remained inside the listener to do so as in the winter, too, most plays under the surface. I was grateful to have heard such sounds certainly nowhere else, which I also confirmed that the music will never stop.
The High Cathedral of Paderborn
Then another quick visit to Paderborn Cathedral, but the title "High Cathedral Paderborn" would have me can already announce: After the Last Supper began Orgelgetön one, an organ showers I had ever never and nowhere seen such - except perhaps as an internal state - and what kept before the eyes and ears that the organ, too, because they must be played with the entire body, the mightiest and is sinnenhafteste among the instruments; because they can no cell of the body unaffected, spared nothing and no one and pulls everything in her quiver, her organs, no corner, no stain of the nave one can escape it. She makes new because it bathes everything in their relentless sound bath.
The High Cathedral Paderborn has as a symbol of the Trinity, a threefold Organ: A tower, a choir and an organ crypt. I suspect that this evening the choir organ was played, which is located above the altar. I do not know who was the organist, it can not of course have ridden the devil, and he may not have had a field day with what he meted out to us there. I do not think it has been the common church "evening business", rather a kind of holy attack or zeal with which he himself looked eating on his organ and those above us, a powerful moment in any case in which he us of all the rules Tonkunst edited.
In Peter Jackson's Tolkien adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" are in the first part of an escape scene where the elf princess Arwen is driven with her horse and Frodo in the saddle, she wants to save her from the dark and dangerous Nazgûl cornered . Finally, it is almost completely surrounded by enemies on the banks of a river, and they do not know how where to turn aside. In dire need it conjures in the vocal range, the Karelian modeled Elvish language arts the tide of Bruinen. In the distance one sees and hears the roar zoom swelling floods and while they are on strike apparently, the fastest and most powerful roar turned into galloping weißschäumende mold, which buried the black Nazgûl under floods and hooves.
That Played On this All Souls' Day or All Souls organ piece has a difficult struggle to topic have had at least something similar significant as the struggle of light against the darkness, in any case, the struggle of two approximately equally strong powers. The attack was carried forward into sound waves and accentuated always new and frightening from a completely unexpected direction. The waves came rolling like the waves of the Bruinen, the listeners felt the midst of these breakers drowning close, wave after wave roared through the nave, mimeographed be roaring surged again to be interrupted by a cry of organ short ...
The Bartholomew's Chapel from the outside
"Bartholomew Chapel" so-called, the Bishop My work was to 1017 built by Greek builders: Behind the Paderborn Cathedral, is a small, outwardly simple, bright home next to the excavation walls of the former King's Hall of the Ottonian royal palace, which burned down in the year 778.. It is absolutely unique and has never been imitated. The interior of the chapel is a so-called. Hall church in the Byzantine style, whose slopes domes bulge to a wonderful blanket that rests on slender columns, which divided the hall into nave and side aisles. The small chapel measures just a few square meters. High level windows form a halo. The small, graceful chapel was never touched in their millennial life or destroyed, not even during the Second World War, which are otherwise difficult to hit the Paderborn Cathedral. In 1978 it her a new, bronze door.
The chapel contains a fantastic secret: It is the guardian of the clay. If a lowbrow visitor stumbles by chance, he will soon be an unexpected acoustic phenomenon gewärtig. It is so intense that in front of the chapel is a plaque erected to warn of abuse. The chapel is like a giant speaker that records every breath and turned. But more importantly: the chapel allows only a single pure tone, almost in its original form. This is due to the fact that they brought any sound to life: it is taken from the vault and sent back and beaten to the bronze door as against a huge gong, and then the sound throws himself back into the hall vaults, this game goes away and away and also when it is terminated by the defectiveness of the human ear apparently sometime, so every listener dawns at least unconsciously something of the infinite dimension of sound.
And ... from the inside
A sung tone, for example, turned into this chapel into a living entity and we also transform into sound, because we do not do otherwise at this location. However, you can not sing melodies here, because every note too long "lives" and any simple melody would highly complicated and polyphonic: we would no longer sing with ourselves only duo, but soon sound simultaneously in all shades. This causes a kind of overwhelmed, almost a physical discomfort. Therefore, we instinctively choose a tone that corresponds to us somehow and like it or not more than one triad, which is sufficient.
That actually everyone has "his" tone, I realized as I once my head in a million years old, about 1.50 meters high sound stone stuck. The opening in the stone was a head a comfortable. The stone began to sound when a person (lat. = Per-sonare, by sound) had taken "their" sound.
Matroschkapuppen
Sound and music are a strong strand of a cord that connects us very directly with an ill-timed union dimension. His pictorial correspondence is this in the Matroschkapuppen that at some point also can not see if you could carve even further (if only they would look) - equal to an infinite tone you eventually no longer listen to the outer ear also can.
So the bronze door of St. Bartholomew's chapel is the entrance to a tonal dimension of infinity. At the same time they can and know that we, when our seemingly "fixed" human substance, even our bones begin to swing by a single softly sung or spoken sound, must be made of a finer clay.
