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’.

NEW COMPOSITIONS - early in 2021
In contrast to the performers on stage - singers, soloists or ensembles - who are subject to a real professional ban, the composers can still compose and write their works.... even if the performances are permanently cancelled or have been postponed to a frustrating distance. Self-motivation has become arduous, vital flow is something other than the momentary paralysis of being winged. Nevertheless, twelve works have already been written in this year 2021.....![]()
2 CD-Projects in November 2020
Two CD-Projects in month of November 2020: "JUBILISSIMO" for brass & organ, recorded in June in Essen cathedral is now released nin November. And a new CD "Beethoven 250 Years" was recorded in Great concert Hall of University of Music in Munich....![]()
SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER 2020 with 4 World Premieres
Despite the Corona Lockdown there took place four world premieres...from the organ composition to the oratorio "Beethovens Schöpfung" für Soli, Chor und Ensemble (Texts: Goethe and Beethoven)![]()
Lots of concerts... and being Member of Jury
Not only "world premieres" are important for composers life, - but also the repeating of performances to bring the compositions into the common repertoire. And not to forget: working as Jury member in competitions is a very responsible work, leading young artists to their future!![]()

COMPOSING, COMPOSING, COMPOSING..... A lot of new works, new performances are the joy in composers life!
