Each organ symphony by Enjott Schneider has its own colour and its own theme. Organ Symphony No. 7 'Von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit' is dominated by the theme of 'time' : from the flowing rumbling of time in ancient beginnings ('In principio' - 1st movement) and periodic to the intellectually incomprehensible revolving ('Zeit der Sterne' - 2nd movement). After the third movement ('Zeit des Menschen'), a valse triste, infused by an almost humorous hectic atmosphere, the symphony ends with a kind of 'Amen ! ' in the fourth movement.
Schneider sums it up : 'It is good as it is, we do not understand the course of time anyway. ' With regard to style, his composition is based on elements of minimal music which he combines with the tradition of the European organ composition ; it is at the same time a testimony to the composer's flexibility and versatility.
