Organ - advanced - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q7132 Pathétique. Composed by Enjott Schneider. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q7132. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q7132). One of the first things that comes to one's mind when reading the title of Organ Symphony No. 9 'Pathétique' by Enjott Schneider is another work with this epithet: Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6. And that is no coincidence: The composer regards his organ work as an homage to this 'elder sister'. While Tchaikovsky, in a secret programme, made out his own life to be a struggle and long ordeal to the point of his suspected suicide, Enjott Schneider presents those hours as the ultimate tale of woe in which Jesus had well and truly become human, fatefully bearing the pain and misery of all people. 'Gethsemane', 'Geiselung: Ecce homo', 'Golgatha' and 'Grablegung': Maria Magdalena' are the names of the stages and movements. The Greek word 'pathos' means 'strong emotion, feeling, passion or suffering' - in Schneider's Organ Symphony No. 9, this comes true, musically, in his inner conflict, struggle, wrestling with his fate, cruelty of the crucifixion and deathly silence.Natürlich denkt man beim Titel Orgelsinfonie Nr. 9 Pathétique von Enjott Schneider an ein anderes Werk mit diesem Beinamen: an Tschaikowskys Sinfonie Nr. 6. Und das ist kein Zufall: Der Komponist sieht sein Orgelwerk als Hommage an diese große Schwester an.
