WACHET AUF - Organ music for the first Advent
Overview
Intro
An Advent dialog between two organs: Josef Laming and Tobias Lindner span a sonorous arc through the centuries with works from Buxtehude to Mendelssohn.
In Catholic tradition, Advent is considered a "marked time" - a kind of Lent before Christmas. During this time of the church year, in which it gets darker and darker until the sun turns its course at Christmas, composers and poets have always interwoven impressive melodies and texts rich in imagery. The melodies of the old Advent chorales are so deeply anchored in the collective memory that no one can escape their effect - even people without close ties to the church carry them in their subconscious. To this day, these chorales inspire numerous composers to create new works. The program spans an ecumenical arc over various epochs. The organists Josef Laming and Tobias Lindner bring both organs of the basilica to life - a sonorous Advent awakening that leads into the quiet time.
