So - here now the still missing work from my op1: Prelude, Fugue and Lied to the melody of the Argentine national anthem.
Oid mortales el grito sagrado! - we prefer to leave the translation of this martial text ...
When I composed this piece I just heard some Spanish dances and found the fandango most interesting. So now a fandango has become the main motif of the prelude. Parts of the melody of the hymn are - as always - well hidden in the middle parts. The main characteristics of this fandango are the advancing quarter movement in the bass and the typical syncopation in the left hand. The prelude is divided into A-B-A-C-B-A, where A is the fandango, B is a polyphonic play with the hymn melody and C is a play with the hymn melody in the full organ.
While the prelude is quite expansive, the fugue is much more compact and comes to a quick conclusion after the fugue head has been introduced by all four voices. Here the hymn melody and the motive of the fandango sound together in the full organ.
The conclusion is formed by a powerful song movement, which is played with all registers that the small organ of the MelcerChamberMusicHall has. I think that the piece is reproduced very well on this organ, all voices sound well separated and the structures, or rather the architecture of the piece comes across well - small can also be big, right?
