musik für orgel und eine(n) tonsetzer(in)
...2003... for mauser
(1932 - 2006) what do you
do, if you work with just intonation and wish to write a piece for organ? you have to
deal with the relation between equally tempered and over- or undertonal
(just) intonation. 2001 i had
several opportunities to make a study of some wonderful instruments. this
eventually put me on the path towards this composition. in this piece
only those frequencies of the organ sound that have close to whole-numbered
ratios (+/- 6 cents)
to a fundamental (in this case C’ at about 32 Hz). because the
frequencies are never perfectly tuned - a result of the organ’s tempered
tuning - more or less strong beatings and frictions emerge, that rhythmically
and timbrally shape the inner life of the sounds. a realisation
of this piece strongly depends on the disposition of the instrument and the
performance space. the version
at hand corresponds approximately to the first performance by eva-maria
houben at st. suitbertus
church, dortmund october 3, 2003. for this cd i
tried to record the organ in such a way that the playback, instead of
reproducing the church environment, projects the instrument into the
listener’s space. andré o. möller |
