Software: | Hauptwerk VIII |
Genre: | Modern late romantic |
Description: | With this beautiful chorale prelude 'Ach was bin ich, mein Erretter' I start my new project 'Chorale Preludes Op. 60 by Karl Hoyer', played on the suitable Annaberg Walcker/Eule instrument (with added reverb to simulate surround sound).
Karl Hoyer was born at Weißenfels/Saale in 1891. From 1907-1911 he studied in Leipzig with Max Reger (composition) and Karl Straube (organ). Already as a student, he was Straube’s official deputy at the Thomaskirche. In 1911 he became organist in Reval (today Tallinn), 1912 in Chemnitz. In 1926, he was appointed Professor for organ in Leipzig and organist at the Nicolai-Kirche with its romantic organ by Ladegast (1862) and Sauer (1902-1903). Hoyer died in 1936 after surgery following an accident. His compositions comprise mainly music for organ, but also piano, chamber and vocal music.
His style can be described as “modern late romantic”, following Liszt and Reger, but also including an impressionistic touch and sometimes more modern harmonies as in the French organ style of that time. His music was almost forgotten during the return to neobaroque style and the neglect of the late romantic instruments.
This Opus 60 is titled 'Zwanzig leichte Choralvorspiele für Orgel'. Not all preludes seemed 'leicht' (easy), I must confess; some demanded to be seriously studied.
I hope that you'll like these pieces. They're not popular and seldom heard ... and beautiful in their kind, I think.
Your remarks are very welcome :-)
Enjoy!
