6 Pieces for organ on Gregorian Tunes - ed. by Klaus Uwe Ludwig Shining through cathedral windows: the light of the new editions Sigfrid Karg-Elert’s works are attracting more attention than ever before. After several editions of organ works and the reissue of the major choral canzonas in 2003, the light of Breitkopf’s editorial endeavors once again shines through the church windows to settle on the King of Instruments. The series begins with the "Cathedral Windows" op. 106 and "Triptych" op. 141, works from the composer’s late creative phase that are now available in new editions. The titles themselves awaken associations with Karg-Elert’s extremely colorful musical language, which oscillates between diatonic "white-note" music and proliferating chromaticism in "Cathedral Windows." The (sound) windows of Debussy’s famous "Cathédrale engloutie" must have been similar to those in Karg-Elert’s church.
