The commission motto Organ Music in Times of Corona triggered two thoughts in me: On the one hand, a fateful invocation “Hör mein Flehen, lass mich atmen …” (Hear my plea, let me breathe) and on the other, the phrase “Finis coronat opus” (The end crowns the work), the Baroque call for an opulent closing passacaglia. At the beginning, the work quotes the cantus firmus “Welt, ich muss dich lassen” as a still “diffusely distant realization”; the following passacaglia theme is generated from the call “Hör mein Flehen ...” and builds up more and more, growing into a storm that demands the full breath of the organ. At the end, there is the certainty, bathed in glistening C major light: “World, I must leave you go.”
