gerigk

Father Manfred Gerigk of the Dominican Order was born in Danzig (1934). After World War II, he was a student at the High School in Oldenburg (Low Saxony). He received his basic musical orientation at home. He studied composition by self education, assisted by the musical theory of Hindemith. He plays violin, piano and organ.

In 1963, he went for 36 years as a missionary to Bolivia. There he taught musical theory at the teacher-training college of Santa Cruz.
The extensive list of his compositions contains works for orchestra, choral music and a varied series of chamber music.

The composer says: “For me, music is a play that gives me great joy. I want to communicate this joy. There is so much sadness in life and world. Nobody needs desperate music. That’s my modest musical
creed.”

This first sonata for piano was written in the early nineties. Each of its three movements is characterized by a special mood.
The somewhat turbulent first movement works with the following structural elements: a few bars of introduction und two main themes; all these elements are subject to their orresponding development.
The second movement presents a calm melody with its variations.
The third movement is a kind of “scherzo/finale” (but not in the time of three to four) with its “trio”.
