Heidbüchel, Maria

IIn earlier times we were 9 children and in the family photos we always appeared to look like the organ pipes. Of the nine children I was the 5th pipe, so right in the middle. Our father unfortunately passed away much to young at the age of 53) was an organist and played a lot of music with us on various instruments. Orff instruments, percussion instruments, recorders (the whole flute family, soprano, alto, tenor, bass), fiddle (homemade), guitar, piano, spinet. My brothers also played trumpet and trombone and later I started playing the organ.
Soon I was allowed to represent my father in small May devotions and after his death at the age of 18, I began studies for the organist C-level certification.
Unfortunately, I had a musical break of 30 years due to full involvement in my self-employed profession. Since 10 years ago, I now have again the excellent opportunity to cultivate my beloved hobby. I sing in different choirs and make music at home on the flute, on the piano, on the organ (with complete pedal) and like to compose.
My father used to write all his notes by hand when he wrote his ''Martinus Mass'' and ''Martinus Cantata''. These two great works were written in the year I was born. I am a little proud of that!
Being I like to share, I always like to send a work to this beautiful swap meet and wish everyone a lot of joy with music!
