  • Selected Organ Works of Joseph Ahrens: a Stylistic Analysis of Freely Composed Works and Serial Compositions
    Selected Organ Works of Joseph Ahrens: A Stylistic Analysis of Freely Composed Works and Serial Compositions A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Eun Hye Kim MM, University of Cincinnati, 2007 MM, Hansei University, 2004 BA, Seoul Jangsin University and Theological Seminary, 2002 Committee Chair: Roberta Gary, DMA Committee Member: John Deaver, DMA Committee Member: David Berry, PhD Abstract Joseph Ahrens (1904–97) was a twentieth-century German composer, virtuoso organist, and teacher. He was a professor of church music at the Berlin Academy of Music (Berlin Hochschule für Musik), organist at the Cathedral of St. Hedwig, and choir director and organist at the Salvator Church in Berlin. He contributed to twentieth-century church music, especially of the Roman Catholic Church, and composed many works for organ and various choral forces. His organ pieces comprise chorale-based pieces, free (non-chorale) works, liturgical pieces, and serial compositions. He was strongly influenced by twentieth-century German music trends such as the organ reform movement, neo-baroque style, and, in his late period, serial techniques. This document examines one freely composed work and two serial compositions by Joseph Ahrens: Canzone in cis (1944), Fantasie und Ricercare (1967), and Trilogia Dodekaphonica (1978). The purpose is to demonstrate that Ahrens’s style developed throughout his career, from a post-Wagnerian harmonic language to one that adopted twentieth-century techniques, including serialism, while retaining the use of developed thematic material and a connection to neo-baroque characteristics in terms of forms and textures.

  • Karl Straube, Old Masters and Max Reger a Study in 20Th Century Performance Practice
    Karl Straube, Old Masters and Max Reger A Study in 20th Century Performance Practice By Bengt Hambraeus In 1904, the German organist Karl Straube published Alte Meister, an anthology in two volumes of organ music from the 17th and early 18th centuries (Peters 3065 a/b). The second of these volumes was replaced in 1929 with two new ones, with the same title (Peters 4301 a/b). The 3065a volume, which is still available, bears the dedication “Dem jungen Meister Max Reger”, This dedication can be understood in two ways. Either: to a young master composer being on a par with his classical colleagues from past centuries; or: to a young promising composer (Reger, by then 31 years old, had already written many of his most important organ works). We do not have to speculate about the intention of the dedication as such, only observe it in relation to three facts: (i) Both Straube and Reger were born in the same year (1873) and thus belong to the same generation; Reger died in 1916, Straube in 1950; since 1903 Straube had held different positions at the Thomas Church in Leipzig, until 1918 as an organist, and subsequently as choral director; furthermore he had been teaching the organ at the Leipzig Music Conservatory since 1907. (2) Since the beginning of the century, Straube had published a few practical editions of old and more recent organ music. Among the latter, we find his alternative versions to some already printed organ works by Reger. His various editions can easily allow us to understand how he himself may have performed the music, and how and why his interpretations became trendsetters for many of his students.
