The sonorous sound of the Bruckner Organ
derives from the 4 manuals, 103 sounding organ-stops and 7343 pipes built
1770 to 1774 by Franz X. Chrismann from Ljubljana/Slovenia. The Collegiate
Church with its magnificent organ greatly influenced the life and work of
the famous composer Anton Bruckner. Listen to a
sample
(mp3).
Florianer
Tanzlgeiga (String Quartet) -- "Tanzn,
Singa, Springa, Zualosn"
 |
Three violins and and a contrabass --
experience Walzes, Polkas, Landler, Zwiefache, and other examples of Austrian
folk music. The ensemble will perform at the Cocktail
Party and at the Conference Dinner.
Since the 18th century the formation
of the "Linzer Geiger" has consisted of two violins and a doublebass.
These groups from Upper Austria played traditional folkmusic -- Landler, Waltzes, Polkas,
Zwiefache -- not only in their region, but also in Vienna, where later
composers like Johann Strauß developed the "Wiener Walzer". The
Florianer Tanzlgeiga added a third violin, which supports the doublebass
in its rhythmical and harmonic function, while the two other violins
play the melodic parts.
