Enns

A visit to the exhibition in the Lauriacum Museum about Leopold von Zenetti (1805-1892), Anton Bruckner's teacher, is truly an excursion into the town of Enns in the 19th century. You will discover a plethora of unknown and unexpected details about the living conditions which prevailed at that time and about the events and cultural happenings in Enns during the liftime of the organist and choirmaster. Leopold von Zenetti proves to be an informed guide and offers you a sample of his musical work.

The installation by the artist, Clemens Bauder, combines organ playing and an ensemble of newly built playground equipment to create a collective musical instrument in a public space. Different organ pipes are operated by swinging and rocking them together - an acoustic space develops in the organ playground making Anton Bruckner (on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of his birth) audible and bringing him to life in both an abstract and playful manner.
The modular SCHORGEL will be set up in 2024 in various Upper Austrian locations with a Bruckner connection as well as at the Upper Austrian summer retreat in Vienna.

STARTING POINT
The history of the SCHORGEL begins with the Bruckner organ and its supply of air in the Old Cathedral in Linz. Anton Bruckner worked as a cathedral organist for thirteen years from 1855. In this time he had the organ adapted in several stages to match his own ideas. As was customary at the time, the air or wind supply to the organ was ensured by a bellows pedal (bellows pedal). To do this, the bellows were drawn up and pressed together by the feet and the entire body weight of the assistant. Before air is blown into the organ pipes, it is collected in a magazine bellows for a continuous supply. This physical momentum of constantly kicking and drawing up the bellows forms the starting point for the artistic work of the "SCHORGEL".

MAKING MUSIC WITH ONE'S WHOLE BODY
If you observe the use of seesaws in playgrounds, the movements can be compared to the activity of bellows treaders. The up and down motion of the seesaw is reminiscent of the alternating pulling up and squeezing together of a scoop. Based on this playful translation of rocking and swinging movements into an air supply for various pipe stops, a collectively operable organ instrument is created. By using several rocking and swinging devices with bellows of different sizes, a soundscape is created in which certain sound modulations only arise through the joint action and reaction to the actions of the other rockers or swingers. It is a game on a collective organ in which all of the participants have to coordinate their actions with those of the others. Experimenting with different rocking or swinging speeds - from the gentle rocking back and forth on a swing to the powerful push-off on the high seesaw - determines the air supply and the ever-changing composition that fills the immediate surroundings with sound.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

The Pastoral Mass in C major by Leopold von Zenetti will be performed as part of the Harvest Festival.
In the parish church of Enns St. Marien, Leopold von Zenetti, Anton Bruckner's teacher, was active as regens chori. It is likely that Bruckner listened to his teacher play the organ in Enns.
The Pastoral Mass is one of the few pieces of sheet music that have survived in the original. A mass in classical style for soli, choir and orchestra, performed by the Collegium Ennsegg Chamber Choir and Orchestra Collegium Ennsegg during the harvest festival.

Anton Bruckner and jewellery?

This connection is unexpected and yet it casts a fascinating light on the point of connection between music, spirituality and jewellery artistry highlighting how these areas can be combined in a number of surprising ways.
In contrast to the profound seriousness which characterised Bruckner, imaginative pieces of jewellery explore the lightness of love and the romanticism of Bruckner's era.
A silver "paper" plane is one such example. It is artfully engraved with the original handwritten notes of the famous 'Steiermärker' (approx. 1850). It is easy to imagine that the aviator flew straight into the heart of Anton Bruckner's first sweetheart, Aloisia Bogner.
In its handwritten engraving, this piece of jewellery embodies the musical brilliance of Bruckner as well as the tender bond he had with his muse. It tells us of a time when the young composer's musicality was shaped not only by his compositions, but also by the love that inspired him. This unique connection between music and jewellery reflects the romantic era in which Bruckner lived and worked.
Come and discover in further creations how music, spirituality and jewellery merge harmoniously leading you on a journey that touches both your heart and soul.
