In addition to receiving the Pierre S. du Pont First Prize (with a cash award of $40,000), Heindl also walked away with the Audience Choice Prize and the AGO Philadelphia Chapter Prize, recognizing his outstanding performance of the judges’ choice piece, “To Longwood Gardens” by Samuel Barber. He was also awarded a solo recital at Longwood Gardens during the 2019-2020 season. Born in 1997 in Gera, Thuringia, Germany, Sebastian received his fundamental musical education as a chorister in the famed St. Thomas Boys Choir, Leipzig. There he received organ lessons with University Organist Daniel Beilschmidt and participated in numerous performances as accompanist for the choir. In 2013, he was featured as an organ soloist in the BBC TV documentary “Bach: A Passionate Life“ hosted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner. In 2016, at 17 years of age, he released his debut CD, “Bottle Post Secrets” (Rondeau Productions), recorded on the great Schuke Organ at Magdeburg Cathedral, which includes his own orchestral transcriptions. His playing on the recording was lauded by the press as “absolutely authentic, technically perfect, fiery and enthralling”, and he was named “Organist of the Year 2016” (organ – Journal für die Orgel, Schott Publishing, Mainz). He is also featured as soloist and accompanist on a CD entitled “Bach and Resurrection”, also on the Rondeau Productions label. He was awarded the special prize of the 2016 Bachkirche Arnstadt as the youngest participant at the 20th International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig. In 2017, he won the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition which gave him the opportunity to perform across the United Kingdom (Westminster Abbey, Trinity College Cambridge, Ulster Hall in Belfast) and in the United States. During the 2018 International Organ Week in Nürnberg he received Third Prize, the Audience Prize, and the Max Reger Prize. Sebastian performed as a soloist in such venues as St. Thomas Church Leipzig, St. Nikolai Leipzig, Essen Cathedral, Altenburg Castle Chapel, Bach Church Arnstadt, Budapest’s Palace of Arts, Freiburg Cathedral, and the Gewandhaus Leipzig, where he gave his debut with the Poulenc organ concerto. 2019-2020 season recital appearances will be in London, Hamburg, Vienna, New York City, and Montréal.

  • The Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand Manuscript Fragment (MS L): New Evidence Concerning Luther, the Poet, and Ottonian Heritage
    The Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand manuscript fragment (MS L): New evidence concerning Luther, the poet, and Ottonian heritage by Timothy Blaine Price A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Irmengard Rauch, Chair Professor Thomas F. Shannon Professor John Lindow Spring 2010 The Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand manuscript fragment (MS L): New evidence concerning Luther, the poet, and Ottonian heritage © 2010 by Timothy Blaine Price Abstract The Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand manuscript fragment (MS L): New evidence concerning Luther, the poet, and Ottonian heritage by Timothy Blaine Price Doctor of Philosophy in German University of California, Berkeley Professor Irmengard Rauch, Chair Begun as an investigation of the linguistic and paleographic evidence on the Old Saxon Leipzig Heliand fragment, the dissertation encompasses three analyses spanning over a millennium of that manuscript’s existence. First, a direct analysis clarifies errors in the published transcription (4.2). The corrections result from digital imaging processes (2.3) which reveal scribal details that are otherwise invisible. A revised phylogenic tree (2.2) places MS L as the oldest extant Heliand document. Further buoying this are transcription corrections for all six Heliand manuscripts (4.1). Altogether, the corrections contrast with the Old High German Tatian’s Monotessaron (3.3), i.e. the poet’s assumed source text (3.1). In fact, digital analysis of MS L reveals a small detail (4.2) not present in the Tatian text, thus calling into question earlier presumptions about the location and timing of the Heliand’s creation (14.4).

  • Another Look at the Wise and Foolish Virgins in Gothic Sculpture
    76 Jung Chapter 2 Compassion as Moral Virtue: Virgins in Gothic Sculpture Compassion as Moral Virtue: Another Look at the Wise and Foolish Virgins in Gothic Sculpture Jacqueline E. Jung Introduction [Charismatic art] creates a magnified, exalted semblance of life. Its basic impulse is to create a world grander than the one in which the reader or viewer lives, a world of beauty, sublime emotions, heroic motives and deeds, godlike bodies and actions, and superhuman abilities, a world of wonders, miracles, and magic – in order to dazzle and astonish the hum- bled viewer and lift him, by emulation or envy, up to the level of the world or the hero represented.1 For this art historian, who long ago relinquished any resistance to the enchant- ments of Gothic sculpture, the question of the relationship between the fictive bodies inhabiting the walls, piers, and portals of churches and their embodied models, makers, and beholders has always been fundamental.2 My interest was, if not sparked, then certainly heightened and encouraged by Stephen * I will be forever indebted to Heiko Brandl and Andreas Waschbüsch for allowing me to exam- ine and photograph the Virgins of Magdeburg Cathedral during their cleaning in 2009, provid- ing access to the cathedral’s gallery level, and sharing their knowledge of the figures’ origins and technical aspects with me. The photos in figures 2.10 and 2.11 were made at that time. Support from the Griswold fund at Yale University enabled the travels that yielded the photos of Strasbourg Cathedral and the newly restored portal at Magdeburg.
