Schwarz-Schilling: Selected Organ Works

Description

Reinhard Schwarz-Schilling (1904-1985) was a pupil of Heinrich Kaminski and a teacher of composition at the Berlin Musikhochschule. He was also one of the leading figures in the revival of sacred organ music in the first half of the 20th century. Throughout his career he maintained a firm belief in tonality, which he justified in ethical terms. At the root of his highly contrapuntal music was a thorough commitment to the western musical tradition.
