Composition and Improvisation

Hans-Peter Retzmann – Organ
Rainer Weber – Clarinette
Dorothée Hahne – Soprano, Didgeridoo, Conch shell, Sound performance, Live electronics

Born in the Rhineland, Dorothée Hahne is musically extremely multilingual. Her extensive oeuvre ranges from instrumental compositions with a focus on interactive live electronics to interdisciplinary projects and sound installations to works for orchestra (Duisburg Philharmonic). Only for the organ she had not written before, although she was fascinated by the instrument since early childhood on the organ bench of her father and organist Rudolf Hahne. His wish to compose for organ was not fulfilled during his lifetime. She was able to dedicate her composition “Yesterday – Today – Tomorrow” posthumously to her father thanks to the project of the German Music Council “Organ Music in Times of Corona”.
Troisdorf will now see the world premiere of the piece with clarinet as solo part.

The program is complemented (among others) by an interactive 4-part canon as well as quadraphonic compositions for sounds of World War 2 unexploded bombs used as bells.

Gestern – Heute – Morgen” (2021) for solo instrument and organ (world premiere)
