Harald Genzmer (1909-2007) is one of the most important German composers of the 20th century and contributed major works to the church and organ music repertoire. The present solo cantata after the famous 'Song of Brother Sun' by Francis of Assisi ('Most high, all-powerful, all good, Lord!') continues the great tradition of the solo cantata by Schütz, Telemann or Bach, with its theme being the praise of God as creator and protector of Earth. The vocal part is entirely in the service of a text that is interpreted with sensitive musical means. The rewarding organ part contains several solo passages. A valuable addition to the repertoire for religious concerts - marking the 100th birthday of Harald Genzmer on 07.02.2009.

The Hindemith pupil Harald Genzmer (1909–2007) worked with virtually all music genres and composed works for many, even unusual instruments (such as the trautonium). He also wrote compositions for the piano, of course, and in 1938 published a major work, Sonata No. 1. For Richards Laugs who had worked in Mannheim since 1945, first as musical director at the National Theatre, then as director of the local music academy, he wrote '3 Tänze' for piano the autograph of which was discovered among the effects of Laugs' widow only recently. These very enjoyable-to-play and melodious miniatures are published for the first time here.

Les “3 Danses� pour piano de Harald Genzmer (1909-2007), élève de Hindemith, ont été écrites pour Richard Laugs. La partition autographe a réapparu dernièrement dans la succession de sa veuve. Ces trois délicieuses miniatures sont publiées ici pour la première fois.

The wide-ranging oeuvre of Harald Genzmer (1909-2007) is completed by a large number of small-scale chamber music works. In the last stage of his creative life, the flute played a major role. It was in that period that he composed Capriccio notturno for flute or treble recorder and piano, which goes back to his reading Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra whom Genzmer admired very much. Genzmer begins his work with Nachtlied from the second part of Nietzsche's work, using it as a motto. The flute part of Capriccio notturno lies comfortably on the flute, using the possibilities of the treble recorder. In both cases, as in the piano part as well, the demanding musical context requires experienced performers: a work for both the concert stage and upper school classes or youth competitions.

Harald Genzmer (1909-2007) schrieb in seinen letzten Lebensjahren mehrere geistliche Solokantaten und leistete damit wichtige musikalische Beiträge für die Liturgie und das geistliche Konzert. Die Kantate Sei nur stille in Gott, meine Seele hat Genzmer in seinem Autograph ausdrücklich als Geistliches Konzert bezeichnet und sich damit in die Tradition von Heinrich Schütz gestellt. Das vierteilige Werk verwendet verschieden Psalmtexte und kann als Gesamtwerk, aber auch in Abschnitten aufgeführt werden. Ausgedehnte Vor- und Zwischenspiele der Orgel setzt er meisterhaft zur Ausdeutung der Texte ein. Verwendet werden die Psalmtexte Sei nur stille, meine Seele, in Gott (Psalm 62, 6-9), Gott, sei mir gnädig (Psalm 51, 3, 12-13), Herr, Gott, du bist unsere Zuflucht (Psalm 90, 1-2,4-6) und Herr, unser Herrscher (Psalm 8, 1, 4-5).

Harald Genzmer (1909-2007) schrieb in seinen letzten Lebensjahren mehrere geistliche Solokantaten und leistete damit wichtige musikalische Beiträge für die Liturgie und das geistliche Konzert. Die beiden geistlichen Solokantaten Lobet den Herren, alle Völker (Psalm 117) und Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied (Psalm 136) verwenden zwei beliebte Psalmtexte, die im Laufe der Musikgeschichte häufig Grundlage von Kantaten und Motetten waren. Genzmer vertont die Texte in der ihm eigenen, instrumentengerechten Art, deutet den Inhalt sensibel und klangmalerisch aus und wählt eine originelle Besetzung mit Orgel und obligater Posaune (oder Violoncello). Durch ausgedehnte Vor- und Zwischenspiele für die Orgel und das Melodieinstrument haben die Kantaten einen ausgesprochen konzertanten Charakter.

Harald Genzmer’s composition Divertimento di danza for string orchestra clearly continues the baroque form of the divertimento. This light music - in the truest sense of the word - consisted of a sequence of loose movements with free forms and dance movements alternat-ing in varied succession. The divertimento comprised five to six movements. Genzmer kept to all these facts but he brought new life into the old forms. Though he did not compose in the old style, he respected certain rules of the traditional form.

Harald Genzmer composed this Flute Sonata at the suggestion of Dr Peter Hanser-Strecker, Chairman of Schott Music. On 7 November 1999 Genzmer sent it to SMI with the words: I enclose an entirely new sonata for the flute. I have been careful to avoid the problematic areas for the flute: there are no harmonics, no very high or low notes, and so on. I have really enjoyed working on it, and make no secret of the fact that I am very fond of the piece. A rewarding piece for playing in concerts and competitions; well suited to the instrument and imaginatively composed.

Harald Genzmer has done a lot for the work with young musicians, and many a string player can recall school orchestra days when Sinfonietta was on the programme quite often. But the probably best-known pupil of Hindemith has written far more of such educational music: all in all, 3 sinfoniettas, apart from collections of simple settings like the eleven Character Pieces for String Orchestra from 1998. They are expressive, entirely songlike miniatures, livened up by two rousing pieces and a pizzicato setting. The pieces can either be played separately or put together into little suites and are ideally suited for school, hobby and amateur orchestras. And despite all educational intentions: It is enjoyable and lively music which is fun to play.

Harald Genzmer figures among the important German composers of the twentieth Century. He wrote works for almost every genre from symphonies to chamber music and piano pieces, from instrumental concertos to solo sonatas. He was particularly interested in writing contemporary music that is accessible and easy to play, which relates to existing traditions and yet creates something new - particularly bearing in mind the interests of amateurs and young players. These Improvisations were written in 2002 and may either be performed individually or as a cycle. They are suitable for teaching purposes, for playing in competitions and for concert performance.

Funeral music plays an important role in music history for the articulation of grief and sorrow is an essential task of music. The important German organ composer Harald Genzmer (born in 1909) wrote his 'Musik der Trauer' in 2001, deeply affected by the death of his wife. The music is full of emotion and sentiment, expressing grief, sorrow, desperation, but also fierce rebellion against the inescapability of fate. At the end, the motif 'Christ ist erstanden' can be heard as an expression of Christian hope.

The ‘Divertimento giocoso’ by Harald Genzmer created in 1960 is scored for two woodwind instruments (flutes, recorders or transverse flute and oboe) as solo instruments opposed to the string orchestra. The composer, whose work suits the amateur music-making very much in many respects, succeeded in creating a tonal arrangement that is individual in style. In the first movement, this rhythmically very lively, thematically clearly visible and harmonically interesting though not revolutionary work presents the strings and the solo instruments often entering canonically with an easily remembered -seventh motif; in the second movement, it leads a melody dying away a long time to a dynamic climax, adds harmonic cross relations to a scherzo moving in dance style and closes with a lively vivace movement.“ (Das Liebhaber-orchester).

Since an invitation to the Emerald Isle, Harald Genzmer (1909-2007) has been fascinated with the local tradition and culture. Therefore, after the songs 'Irische Harfe', he wrote another cycle for mixed choir at a ripe old age: 'Lieder einer Insel'. In three parts with ten choral settings altogether, the composer tells stories from the mythology of the Emerald Isle in the Irish poems, in the texts of old and modern lyricists, describes emotions, desires, laments: from 'Weissagung Cathbads' to 'Lobgesang der Gerechten', from the bright 'Mönch und seinem Lieblingskater' to the sad lament 'Das Lied in einem Mädchenherzen', from the tender 'Anrufung des Friedens' to the contemplate 'Abendgebet'. The freely tonal settings range from simple, chordal-homophonic via declamatory to expressive. Of intermediate difficulty, these choral miniatures are suitable not only for professional ensembles but also for ambitious amateur choirs.
