Irish duet from small and large pipes
Does anyone have the TV series "Silas," which ran in 1981 as a six-splitter Christmas with the twelve-year-old Patrick Bach in the lead role? Silas is a bushed circus boy who earns his living with the fact that he breaks down on the back of his horse tricks while playing flute. He knows his instrument so that he even softened a runaway circus bear with it. One day he is in the big church in the big city and look up full of awe at the organ pipes and says appreciatively to the organist ". You have but many flutes" Unfortunately, it does not come up with an interplay of the piccolo and the organist, but who wants to imagine how that might sound like, listen to that contained in this CD of Claus von Ulrike and white from Dusseldorf, which are otherwise particularly through its English folk band known Morris Open. Except
Silas on I immediately thought of the traditional in Brittany combination of organ and Bombarde. But here is not about Brittany, but Irish music to jigs to airs and so much pace in between. Claus playing tin whistles and low whistles and Ulrike Weimbs the organ at Christ Church in Brühl. Sometimes he plays a tune and she accompanied him with chords, just as one often knows of keyboards, but then she takes over the organ, the melody, and this is really a very unusual sound experience, a jig to listen to a church organ. Unusually, but appropriately, even if one is to imagine the poor turn out dancing dancer in a European church, but not why. In African The church is, after all, too.
the eleven tracks of the CD is "I Have a Wife of my Own" my favorite, and not just because I always Tom Can maker Vertex Tung on the sailing boat in the front garden in the back of my head, but because this tune here arranged so masterfully is that I like to hear it over and over again. The organ begins with gently chords, then begins to play the first part, the actual melody, the whistle the second part, then assumes the latter two parts, the organ chordally behind it, but then she takes over again, but first a jazzy to church music similar-sounding Intermezzo, which then turns into the actual melody, to them but to alienate over again, until finally the whistle goes back to the traditional melody.
But otherwise, this CD is a treat and I'm really sad to have missed the concert in Beuel, because we already were doing something else. Almost half of the pieces is written by Claus himself, the others are traditional songs or those of O'Carolan. Conclusion: An original idea implemented brilliant! I think this is really a special distinction Blein!
