Sigfrid Karg-Elert Allemagne Sigfrid Karg-Elert (November 21, 1877-April 9, 1933) was a German composer of considerable fame in the early twentieth century, best known for his choral lieder, chamber music, and compositions for piano, organ, and harmonium. Born in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany, he studied music at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he would become a staff member in 1919. Notable influences of his work include composers Claude Debussy, Aleksandr Scriabin, and Arnold Schoenberg. His favorite instrument to compose for was the Kunstharmonium, a versatile French creation that allowed him the range of colors he preferred.
Karg-Elert's works, especially those written for organ, enjoyed reasonable popularity in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. His performance skills were less admired, and his single tour of the United States in the early 1930s was not well-received. He succumbed to a long illness in 1933, and is buried in Leipzig. The popularity of his compositions declined for a period before a successful revival in the late 1970s. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all) Source of the extract of the biography : Wikipedia
Interest : Skill level : How delightful to find this
excellent organ piece
available, just in time for
Thanksgiving! I had a copy
years ago but left it at the
church where I was then
serving as organist. I really
wanted to do it again this
year... and this version
exactly matches my
recollection of my previous
copy! Thanks!
