the St. Anton Church of Berne-Bümpliz
Erwin Messmer
has first performed this work 1994 in Urtenen and
Berne. He has played it again, among other places, in the Braunschweig
Cathedral and the Kreuzkirche of Dresden. The excerpt
of the proposed recording is taken from the CD Orgellandschaft
Bümpliz, made by the firm Kadenz
Multimedia (Berne). The CD can be ordered on the website http://www.studercom.ch/
Duration
of the work : approximately 5 minutes
Gethsemané
is written in the form of an arch, originating in the silence and returning to
it. The work suggests feelings of awaiting and anguish, and then of acceptance
- therefore has this title been given.
