Organ - easy to intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q20100 For Elke Mascha Blankenburg. Composed by Barbara Heller. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 4:30. Schott Music - Digital #Q20100. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q20100). Barbara Heller dedicated this chorale to the memory of Elke Mascha Blankenburg (1943ā2013). Talking about her before the first performance, the composer said: āShe was open-hearted with a really tender soul, very trusting. Her creativity knew no limits; she was also an almost fanatical campaigner for music by women. In the music you will hear now I have attempted to convey some aspects of her personality: charming, loving, obstinate, committed, volatile, tragic, crazy, untamed, tender and anguished.ā The various sections of this chorale may be performed in a correspondingly contrasting manner: searching, hesitant, visionary, focused, volatile, accusatory, hopeful, etc., with use of rubato and powerful contrasts in dynamic and tone quality. The registration for this edition was devised in the Church of the Resurrection in FĆ¼rth. It is a model that may be adapted freely for other organs, perhaps substituting new and different sound features. Also available for clarinet and organ (KLB 99).
