The year comes to an end with music and readings in St. Georgenkirche Waren (Müritz) on 31 December 2023. This year, Christiane Drese will be playing the chest organ, as the pipes of the large Lütkemüller organ are currently in the restoration workshop of the Dresden organ builder Wegscheider. She is looking forward to her musical guests: Luise Schneeweiß on the violin and Imki Niemeier on the double bass. As a trio, they will play the chorales “Das alte Jahr vergangen ist” and “Wie schön leucht’ uns der Morgenstern” in arrangements by Johann Sebastian Bach and Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Dorothée Hahne will perform the composition “Gestern – Heute – Morgen” and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Pastorella BWV 590, while Pastor Anja Lünert will read cheerful and thought-provoking texts.
The New Year’s Eve concert begins at 9 pm. Admission is free, donations for the restoration of the Lütkemüller organ are requested. Continue reading »

(lat. bells, ringing, chiming).
A sound and movement study for the digitised sounds of 5 unexploded bombs used as bells.
Bells – melted down for cannons. And guns that became bells. As early as the Middle Ages, bells were melted down in times of war to make guns from the metal. It is also reported that in times of peace, bells were cast from the melted down metal of the guns.
The unexploded ordnance from World War II, which is heard here as bells, was defused by the explosive ordnance disposal service and sawn up for emptying. What remained were rusty steel shells that sound like pure as well as dissonant bells and were digitised in studio recordings. The steel shells have a wall thickness of about 1 cm. The size of the duds ranges from approx. 80 cm in length and 40 cm in diameter to the smallest variant of approx. 40 cm in length. The empty weight of the largest variant is over 170 kg. It is unimaginable that such things “fell from the sky” in times that should never be repeated.
The bell sounds of the duds and their electronic adaptations meet sonically and spatially in a sound space sounded by four loudspeakers. Their vibrations and proportions meet, interweave and move with each other and fill the space.
Composition commissioned by the Archdiocese of Paderborn for the festival “blau – experimentelle musik im kirchenraum”.

The flute and the drum are among the oldest instruments in history and have been closely linked to human culture for thousands of years. But which melodies actually haunted the minds of people from the past? Starting with minstrel dances that a medieval market visitor might have brought home as a catchy tune along with his shopping, Sophie Schambeck and Sebastian Wielandt build bridges to the 21st century with intermittent “charts”. Among others, Flow my tears by John Dowland, one of the best-known songs from Renaissance England, will be heard, as well as baroque dance movements by Bach. The transition to the 21st century will be concluded by Commentari III for recorder and tape and classics of the solo percussion repertoire such as Interzones for vibraphone and tape
