A fine set of variations on the Lutheran Epiphany hymn 'Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern' / 'How brightly shines the morning star'. It's a fine opportunity to show different colours and sides of the model of the Metzler organ of Poblet. The composer gave the option in the score to play with or without repeats of the second hymn part. So I followed the hymn text and omitted these repeats.
And wait for the chamades at the very end of this piece...
German composer and church musician Stefan Trenner (1967–2024) was born in Plattling (Niederbayern) and was educated in Regensburg and Munich. His teachers included Eberhard Kraus, Franz Josef Stoiber, and Otmar Faulstich. From 1992 to 2011, Trenner worked as an organist and choirmaster at the Catholic parish church of St. Michael in Plattling; from 1994 to 2006, he also worked as an instrumental and music teacher at the St. Gotthard grammar school in Niederalteich. From 2011 until his death in 2024, he was church musician for the Catholic parish church of St. Magdalena in Plattling.
I was permitted to record his composition and share the sheet music in this video. The time stamps of the variations are on the timeline of the video.
