Sunday of the Dead (days Buchau tear)

Sunday, November 29, 2009

In the eleventh month of the year, the light will ultimately lose the fight against the darkness, and it grows a grief over the increasing loss of brightness.

The dead Sunday was quite unexpected ways in the character of the sound, tone, there's a third word?

In Hamborn lock it started unexpectedly with the play of two soprano Lyre, a piece by Max Gross. The lyre, this so fragile and exquisite sounding stringed instrument played the Greeks is similar to the wind when it engages in continuous tone bars or tubes, a wind chime up.

The interaction of the Lyre developed a crystalline two-tone, a dialogue of the two instruments, tender, humble and precious. I suspect that even the composer himself played one of the Lyre. 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 that most remained inside the listener to do so and in winter, too, most plays beneath the surface. I was grateful to have heard such sounds certainly nowhere else, which I also reiterated that the music will never stop.

The High Cathedral of Paderborn

Just as quickly, visit the Paderborn Cathedral, but the title "High Cathedral Paderborn" would have it I can already announce: After dinner began Orgelgetön a, an organ showerheads, I had absolutely never and nowhere seen such - except perhaps as an internal state - and what stopped in front of eyes and ears that the organ, too, because they must be played with the entire body, the most powerful and sinnenhafteste among the instruments; because it leaves no cell in the body untouched, 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 but 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 a crypt organ. I suspect that this evening the choir organ was played, which is located above the altar. I do not know who was the organist, can it not also 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 ordinary church "evening business", but 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.
