Abstract Details

2016, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Organ.
This study focuses on the musical genres, compositional devices, and Lutheran liturgical contexts used in the chorale-based organ works of Hugo Distler composed during his Lubeck years (1931–1937). He was among the first composers to write organ music combining traditional forms with modern harmonic elements intended to be performed on both modern and historic mechanical-action organs. As a Lutheran musician, Distler applied traditional Lutheran liturgical ideas into his organ works. For these two reasons, Distler’s organ works have gained a prominent place in twentieth-century organ literature. Moreover, Distler emerged as one of the central figures in the German church-music renewal movement. This document will discuss the Baroque techniques and liturgical contexts used in his chorale-based organ works from his Lubeck years: Partita on Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, Op. 8, No.1; Partita on Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Op.8, No.2; and seven chorale preludes in Kleine Orgelchoral-Bearbeitungen, Op.8, No.3.
