„Heilig“ „Sacre“  „Sagrada“  (03.07.2023)


Diese Komposition widme ich dem katalanischen Baumeister Antoni Gaudi und seinem großen Bauwerk „Sagrada Familia“

Eine Verwandte erzählte mir staunend von der Besichtigung dieser Basilika.
Dabei zeigte sie mir viele schöne Fotos dieser wunderschönen Kirche.
Ein Foto habe ich als Motiv-Cover für meine Veröffentlichung dieser Komposition verwendet.

Der Bau wurde im Jahre 1882 begonnen und wird voraussichtlich im Jahre 2026 zum 100. Todestages Antonio Gaudi fertiggestellt sein. Somit hätte die Vollendung dieses sacralen Bauwerks 144 Jahren gedauert.
Dies ist für ein derart monumentales Bauwerk eine recht kurze Bauzeit, wenn man bedenkt,
dass die Erbauung des Kölner Doms  vom Architekt „Meister Gerhard“ 632 Jahre bis zur Vollendung benötigte. 

Antoni Gaudi war auch ein sehr gläubiger Mensch.
Seine Vision die Erschaffung eines Sühnetempel der Heiligen Familie.
Auf die Unmöglichkeit einer baldigen Fertigstellung angesprochen, antwortete Gaudi:
„Meine Kunde hat keine Eile“

Auf diesen Satz hin bezieht sich auch meine inspirierte Komposition.
Die Vision eines sacralen Klangwerks.
In diesem Sinne hat auch meine musikalische Arbeit keine Eile.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Holy" "Sacre" "Sagrada" (07/03/2023)


I dedicate this composition to the Catalan master builder Antoni Gaudi and his great building "Sagrada Familia"

A relative told me in amazement about visiting this basilica.
She showed me many beautiful photos of this beautiful church.
I used a photo as a motif cover for my publication of this composition.

Construction began in 1882 and is expected to be completed in 2026 on the 100th anniversary of Antonio Gaudi's death. Thus, the completion of this sacred structure would have taken 144 years.
This is quite a short construction time for such a monumental structure, considering
that the construction of the Cologne Cathedral by the architect "Master Gerhard" needed 632 years to complete.

Antoni Gaudi was also a very religious person.
His vision of creating a temple of expiation for the Holy Family.
Asked about the impossibility of an early completion, Gaudi replied:
"My client is in no hurry"

My inspired composition also refers to this sentence.
The vision of a sacred sound work.
In this sense, my musical work is not in a hurry.

Thank you for your valued attention.
