sFr. 47.00 , € 36.00
The regular beat is one initial point of departure, on the one hand side, as a reference to the 'Winterthurer Musikfestwochen', a 25 year-young rock and pop festival and on the other, a reference to J.S Bach who died 250 years ago. The second point of departure is the fugal principle, in this instance, however, the fugal theme consists not of single tones but of total structures: clusters, sound surfaces, figures, punctual fields etc..

This work centres on the pulse and the tension between it and its opposite: sustained tone or sound. Both poles of the musical process are shaped with a maximum colour and tonal spectrum. A third basic element is brisk, loud walking movements, which fly down unexpectedly like a bolt from the blue. Commissioned by the ‘Aargauer Kuratorium’ for the ‘Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich’.

sFr. 57.00 , € 44.00
Three movements attacca: I nebel; (haze) II schleier; (mist) III blendung (glare). The simple basic idea of ‘Blendung’ is the process of constant accentuation in the musical course of action, to lurid density during the third movement. World premiere: 26.04.02 in Berne by the Berne Symphony Orchestra under the direction of D. Kitajenko.

9912 Maria A. Niederberger: Towards the Sound of River Aa (Dem Klang der Aa entgegen) (1996) 4'30

sFr. 55.00 , € 42.00
Movement order: "In Catene - in Fuga - In Scioglimento". In a self-explanatory way, the title and movement order show that the piece does not try to follow classical and romantic form, even if it makes use of a large orchestral setting. The movement titles are merely a starting point for the compositional process, not a programme. In the final movement a theme from a motet by Felice Anerio (1560-1614) is re-worked and a Gregorian melody incorporated. Work series A: Music for concerts.

(Partition et partie de soliste)
This piece is inspired by a Chinese drama of the 12th century. A woman is unjustly exectued, nature testifies her innocence: her blood doesn't drop to the ground but flies away on a white blanket; a heavy snow falls in the middle of summer and the winds begin to howl. The rhythm is influenced by the poetic form of the Song dynasty (960-1279). The organisation of the musical material is inspired by certain codes which allow one to understand the taoistic texts.
