The Organ Trilogy / 5 & 3

minimum 2 manuals Length: 4' 45" Character: allegro CONTENT: "5 & 3", a commisioned piece for the concert organist and conductor Michael König [Koenig], is dedicated to all victims of landmines. The concept of this composition is like a trio sonata. But the major challenge might be the ever changing rhythm between the time signatures 3/4 and 5/8. You will be successful for the audience if its possible for you to create a scene of a limping man in the meadow. It might be helpful to know about Paul Hindemiths registration instruction from his sonatas for organ (Sonaten für Orgel, ED 2557): "Spielern von Orgeln mit Walzen und Jalousieschwellern steht es frei, durch reichere Farbgebung und dynamische Übergänge, den Ausdruck über das in den Stärkegradvorschriften angegebene Maß zu verstärken."
