Introduction: An organ work on the theme SELIGPREISUNGEN - BEATITUDINES. Created as a prelude to the one-hour oratorio BEATUDINES: DIE SELIGPREISUNGEN - IN ZEITLOSER WAHRHEIT which was composed in 2024 for the ‘1300 years of the Archbishopric of Munich-Freising’ festival year
for soprano, baritone, choir, solo violin and orchestra.
The organ work takes up various motifs and themes from the oratorio. Above all, it prepares the listener for the harmonic soundscape ‘Bm - em - am - dm - esm’, chords derived from the name B-E-A-T-I-T-U-D-I-N-ES.
As the introduction to the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes embody the teachings of Jesus as the ‘Magna Charta’, the essence of Christianity: Jesus as the teacher of wisdom at the height of all great philosophers, thinkers and religious founders, but who also emphasised the social and humanistic aspects of human coexistence. The Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount have universal implications, such as human rights or the ideal concept of democracy.
