Peter Schindler MISSA IN JAZZ - Anniversary Concert 25 Years Missa in Jazz

Description

The heavens of music
25 years of Peter Schindler's "Missa in Jazz" - "... they are the heavens of music, not those of Luther or the Pope!" With these words, the reviewer characterized Peter Schindler's "Missa in Jazz" after its world premiere in 2001 at the Leonhard Church in Stuttgart. Schindler had composed his jazz mass specifically for the Baden-Württemberg Chamber Choir and his trio "Pipes and Phones" (organ - Peter Schindler, saxophone - Peter Lehel, percussion - Markus Faller).
A kind of "super-religious" setting of the centuries-old mass ordinaries has emerged, in which modern rhythms and sounds are combined with references to the various stylistic influences that the setting of the mass text has been subjected to throughout history (e.g., Gregorian chant, polyphonic fugue technique, romantic sound structures). The saxophone, as the flagship instrument of jazz, corresponds in an ideal way with choir and organ. Jazzy improvisation parts alternate with notated sections. The percussion takes on the role of the "timekeeper" and impulse giver, ensuring a continuous groove.
This very personal mixture of virtuosic concert piece and universal confession of faith has quickly become a real success story. Countless performances around the world have shown and continue to show that Schindler has struck a nerve of our time with this work.
For the quarter-century anniversary, all musicians from the world premiere have been brought back together. And so, in concerts in Bietigheim, Heidelberg, and Stuttgart, you can experience the Missa in Jazz with the trio "Pipes and Phones" (Peter Schindler - organ, Peter Lehel - saxophone, Markus Faller - percussion, supplemented by Dirk Blümlein - E-Bass) and the Baden-Württemberg Chamber Choir conducted by Jochen Woll.
