Vier Interludien (Schott Music) für Orgel

The rose - is the symbol of Venus, of Holy Mary, but also unites love with thorns and suffering!
In my Requiem "In the Name of the Rose" for countertenor (or alto) and organ these Interludes mark out the five sections of the composition, which consists of a hymn to the Virgin (the Rose), a text focusing on mediaeval cruelty (the Thorn) and a Latin Requiem mass. The atmosphere of these Interludes contains something of the mysterious symbolism associated with the rose, whose dual nature embodies love, innocence, piety and perfect beauty - as well as pain, desire and those thorns. Some of the Interludes are fine and delicate, while others are brusque and harsh, yet essentially they belong together: "A Rose is a Rose..." - and some secrets remain unfathomable
