Description: | Hermann Seidl (1958–2018) — Triptychon (2009) for organ [6 Goerlitz]
1) Linker Flügel (Left Panel)
2) Rechter Flügel (Right Panel)
3) Mitteltafel (Middle Panel)
Triptychon (2009) was inspired by the visual art form of the triptych: a picture or relief carving in three panels, usually with hinged side panels (that can fold in). Many triptychs were produced for use as altarpieces. Seidl’s musical triptych addresses each panel in turn. As in many visual triptychs, the music of each panel is distinct but complementary. Finally, at the very end, in a extremely brief coda, the music of left-right-middle is each heard one measure each in turn to close the work.
German composer Hermann Seidl (1958–2018) was born in Würzburg, Northern Bavaria and was educated at the university there. He taught music composition and theory in Erlangen, Kitzingen, and Würzburg. As a composer, Seidl produced a body of work in many genres including orchestra, chamber ensembles, choral, electronic, jazz and rock, and experimental music theater. He was awarded the Förderpreis Musik der Sudetendeutschen Landsmannschaft in 1993. Seidl’s musical style drew on a variety of influences, often with a focus on transparent textures, repeated patterns, and modal harmony. In addition to the traditional classical repertoire, influences can be found from minimalist and ambient music as well as blues and jazz.
