Variations on "Frère Jacques" op. 9 (1982)
for organ

Sheet Music published by Musikverlag Dr. Butz (BU 2235)

Reviews:
"They have been in the concert repertoire of great organists for a number of years, and now they are finally in print: the variations on “Brother Jacob” by the well-known Wiesbaden organist and composer Hans Uwe Hielscher. Like many of his organ works, this cycle is also sonically inspired by French Romanticism. The introduction and the 10 variations rarely go beyond the medium level of difficulty. Easy character pieces for worship and concert use."
[Musikverlag Dr. Butz, Bonn]

“In Hielscher's compositions, such as the Frère Jacques Variations, the choice of means is impressive. He knows how to skillfully use the organ's timbres with the appropriate musical ideas and to consistently limit the technical demands without having to forego effects at the same time. In the imaginative motif you can almost hear the timbres beforehand."
