Im Park

Rondel

Sirventes, Berlin. Stefan Schuck, conductor.

The text of the Responsorium “O magnum mysterium”, to be sung liturgically in the midnight darkness, describes the mystery of Christ’s incarnation, from darkness into light. In three sections, the music increases from a piano sound to the concluding Halleluja. In ever-new harmonies, the lyrical-Gregorian motifs emerge in sequences of sixths within the dense, four-part writing. The musical language is modal-harmonic with constantly surprising turns.

Winner of the Choralnet.com Silver Platter Award 2015.

Zuger Chornacht - Hymne

There are a few “standard” method books that are frequently used to teach the basics to beginners on the marimba or the xylophone. During a chat with my colleague and fellow teacher Raphael Christen, he suggested that it would be nice to have some new pieces to teach to his students. The idea stuck with me and within a few weeks, I was inspired to compose most of the pieces found in this collection. They are quirky, humorous and instructive miniatures that can be played on their own, or for even more fun, accompanied by marimba or piano. Enjoy!
