A comment on Karl Hodina’s Viennese song “Hergott aus Sta”, written on the occasion of the inauguration of the giant organ at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. A piece of music whose shimmering harmonics are imbued with the chromatics of the original song, unfolding in a gradual process, like electronic music.
