Inspired and commissioned as part of the "Zepernicker Orgelbüchlein" (a project of Helmut Zapf and Thomas Noll/Berlin). The idea behind this ambitious project is: completing the legendary "Orgelbüchlein" of Johann Sebastian Bach.
For this reason the composition is held in a simple language for the use in daily services in church. - Zepernick ist a little town situated in Panketal in Brandenburg, near Berlin. The first traces of the building lead back to 1240 when this church (dedicated to Saint Anne, the grandmother of Jesus Christ) was built by the first inhabitants of Zepernick.
Zepernick is with its festival "Randspiele" closely related with the performances of contemporary music in Berlin.
World premiere: 05.10.2019, St. Annen-Kirche Zepernick / Berlin
Performers at world premiere: Festival RANDSPIELE 2019, Organ: Thomas Noll
