Description
Bartmuss Organ Works Ü Sample Page Edited by Joachim Wollenweber Bartmuss was an organist at the St. Mary’s Church in Dessau (Castle Church) and was one of the best-known contemporary organ and choir composers at the turn of the century.
Two choral fantasias op. 44/1 (Jesu, meine Freude) and op. 44/2 (Christ ist erstanden); Prelude and Fugue in D minor op. 7 (Ped.) Sample page “Colourful harmony, characteristic motifs, outstanding compositional technique and unusual formal imagination characterise these works.” [Music and Church 1/1998] “Bartmuß’ works deserve to be included in the concert repertoire of romantic organ music. It is a characteristic of his compositional technique that he cultivates cantable melodies and sophisticated harmonies that explore the limits of late romantic sensibilities on this side of atonality. […] A recommended new discovery.” [Orgel International 5/2001]
