Orgel / Sacred Music
Sacred Music is more than music for catholic or protestant services: all serious forms are leading to hidden secrets, to a transcendental world behind reality. Not only choir and vocals are here important, but also the church organ: 16 large Organ Symphonies were dedicated to this ‚Queen of instruments’.

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH... Inspirator, Idol und ein Fluchtpunkt meines musikalischen Denkens![]()
KOMPONIEREN ZU ÖKOLOGISCH-POLITISCHEN THEMEN
Musik darf nicht nur L'ART POUR L'ART sein, sondern sollte sich - wenigsten in meiner ethischen Ausrichtung - den Themen wie Ökologie, Naturerhalt und Wahrung der Schöpfung stellen. Dahinter steht ein im Grundsatz humanistisches Weltbild, das sich an Friede und Achtung aller Mitmenschen orientiert, und (mir) Grundausrichtung eines zutiefst kreativen Schaffens ist.
