- Description
- „Maria durch ein Dornwald ging“ (Maria walks amid the thorns) is a wonderful German Advent hymn originating from the Eichsfeld region north of Eisenach in Thuringia. Its quite simple yet expressive melody thrills me already for a while. As my daughter learned to play the flute a few years ago, I decided to compose some variations for flute and piano on this hymn (with a quite easy part notably for the flute). The first sketch of the variations comprised the theme and simple versions of variations no. 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9. In summer 2016, I revised the initial variations and added the other ones; in spring and summer 2023, I adapted them to the instrumentation of cello and piano. In some of these adapted variations, the melody is complemented with a lower second voice which can be played either by the soloist or by a second player (or be omitted altogether).
