Although far more advanced in its musical design and language (it was historically composed considerably later), the similarities between Ernst Helmuth Flammer's superverso cycle and Messiaen's great organ cycles are unmistakeable.

The superverso per organo, unlike the great organ cycle Livre du Saint Sacrement of Olivier Messiaen, dispenses with specifically theological titles for the individual pieces in favour of, and reduced to, musical and technical titles.

But both share the grand design of the overall programme Trinitas on the one hand, and Sein und Zeit (Being and Time) on the other hand, as non-mythological, rational, natural philosophical approaches which correlate faith in the Cartesian sense out of a superior creation authority that orders our world.

Organ cycle in 12 parts (1985–1992), played by Christoph Maria Moosmann at the Rieger Organ of Vierzehnheiligen. Basilica
