3 Chorale Fantasias, Chorale Variation, 6 Hymn Settings. Par PRAETORIUS MICHAEL. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) a seulement atteint l'âge de 50 ans, mais a laissé une remarquable richesse des compositions et des traités. D'un point de vue musicologique, il prend une fonction centrale comme médiateur entre la tradition allemande bien établie de la musique d'église protestante et le nouveau monodique, style concertante de composition italienne au début du XVIIe siècle. Après sa formation musicale apparemment self-instructed, il a conclu son premier emploi comme organiste à St. Mary à Francfort/Oder en 1587 et plus tard à la Cour de l'évêque amoureux de la musique de prince Henry Jules de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Après la mort de ce dernier suivi instables et énergie-sapement ans. Musique d'orgue des Praetorius couvre exclusivement cantus firmus : trois fantaisies choral qui fascinent par leur variété de style, une paire de variations avec une technique de figuration riche et les modalités de leur composition novatrice hymn six. Vis-à-vis du style, son oeuvre est enracinée dans le traditionnel allemand org.../ Répertoire / Orgue

Par BRAND HELMUT MICHAEL / BREDENBACH INGO / HAGNER MA. Zum EG [1–154]. Vom aphoristisch kurzen bis zum größer angelegten Choralvorspiel, von der einfachen Intonation bis zur mittelschweren Komposition reicht die Palette der Choralbearbeitungen dieser Sammlung. Sie erscheint zehn Jahre nach der Einführung des Evangelischen Gesangbuches und ergänzt die bereits vorhandenen Intonationen und Choralvorspiele. Da zudem die Zeit, in der Choräle aus der Rubrik „Das Kirchenjahr“ gesungen werden, nahezu die Hälfte eines jeden Jahres umfasst, besteht ein Bedarf an weiteren abwechslungsreichen Stücken. Einige der Kompositionen dieser Sammlung gingen aus Improvisationen im Gottesdienst hervor, viele lehnen sich stilistisch an vergangene Musikepochenan, andere verweisen – mehr oder weniger versteckt – augenzwinkernd auf berühmte Kompositionen, sind also auch „musikalische Suchbilder“, die zum Entdecken einladen./ Répertoire / Orgue

für Orgel. Par RADULESCU MICHAEL. Organa - Versus - Estampie/ Répertoire / Orgue

Anthem for SATB and organ with words by George Herbert. Commissioned for the Church of St Matthew Northampton and first performed on September 20 1965 under the direction of Michael Nicholas.

Franz Schubert’s popular German Mass of 1827 follows in the footsteps of Michael Haydn’s work Deutsches Hochamt by turning to a German translation of the Ordinary mass. Its homophonic texture and largely syllabic setting of the words make it more accessible to lay choruses than Schubert’s masses in Latin an advantage reinforced by its diatonic melodic writing and constantly slow tempos.The present edition reproduces the Urtext from the New Schubert Edition and presents the definitive second version for chorus and wind instruments. Since the piano reduction basically follows the choral lines and Schubert’s original organ part however the Mass can also be performedwith organ accompaniment.- Urtext from the New Schubert Edition- Standard work in the church music repertoire- Can be accompanied by organ or wind instruments- No vocal soloists necessary

10 Orgelwerke Aus 4 Jahrhunderten-New Music on old instruments and new organ literature in dialogue with historical Iberian works. The present edition contains a collection of works composed for an authentically rebuilt historical Spanish organ and covering a wide range of styles which adds new sounds to the purely Baroque repertoire.With works by José Blasco de Nebra Francisco Correa de Arauxo Antonio de Cabezón Pedro de Araujo and new compositions by Guy Bovet Michael Kapsner Pavel Klimashevsky Zsigmond Szathmáry and Alfred Müller-Kranich.The new Spanish organ of the Hochschule für Musik Mainz as an authentically rebuilt historical instrumentfrom the workshop of the organ builder Joaquín Lois from Tordesillas in Castile shall both adequately reproduce early music and be a source of inspiration for contemporary music. For this reason the Hochschule für Musik Mainz commissioned five composers to write modern compositions according to the motto 'Early music in dialogue with New Music' which are a valuable addition to the repertoire of historical instruments of the 'Siglo de Oro'.Certain specifications had to be taken into account: e. g. a limited pitch range half stops for treble and bass registers the short octave as well as a mean-tone temperament. In addition each composition is based on a work of the Iberian organ literature; sometimes the work found its way into the new composition sometimes it only served as an inspiration.The pieces can also be played on a modern organ although there is a special charm in playing and hearing them played on an appropriate historical instrument. Encompassing a broad range of styles the resulting collection adds new sounds to the purely Baroque repertoire.

Organ-The Prætorius-variationer dedicated to the organist Helge Gramstrup was composed by the Danish organist and composer Jesper Madsen (1957-1999). The work subtitled ‘Variations on a Motet by Michael Prætorius Højlovet være Kongen skøn 1609’ is his largest for Organ. The theme is presented in Prætorius’ own arrangement. Variation 1 has a rhapsodic improvisatory feel; Variation 2 that of a fast movement from a Bach Trio Sonata. Variation 3 is a slow siciliano and Variation 4’s wispy scherzando complements the meditative Variation 5. Variation 6 marked Finale starts majestically butsoon evolves into a French-style toccata with the melody on the pedal reeds. The work culminates in a triumphant arrangement of the original theme. A review in the July/August issue of Choir and Organ magazine calls this work 'very approachable' and a 'very useful recital piece although it's trickier than it looks.'

While Darke composed extensively for Choir and Organ he wrote many fewer works for solo Organ. The first of the set St Peter dedicated to Herbert Howells is the best known of the three atmospheric and improvisational and Orchestral in style. The second prelude a fantasia on Darwell’s 148th is a virtuosic piece that retains its musical integrity. The final on a theme by Tallis begins by tranquilly setting out its theme before moving into romantic Orchestral style. Harold E. Darke was an English composer and Organist of international renown. In 1916 he established the Monday lunchtime Organ recitals at St Michael’s Cornhillwhich continue to this day the longest-running such series in the world. His setting of Christina Rosetti’s poem In the Bleak Midwinter created a melody and lilting Organ accompaniment that have never fallen from favour. It is regarded as one of the greatest Christmas carols and is still sung at the service of Nine Lessons and Carols.
