Bach: Complete Organ Works Vol. 5 Sonatas / Trios / Concertos - ed. by Pieter Dirksen Organ Works Based on Compositions by Bach and Others Genres such as sonata, trio and concerto were initially uncommon in the keyboard music of the early 18th century. Thus it comes as no surprise that many of the pieces in this volume are arrangements by Bach of original compositions and of works by other composers. Next to the Sonatas BWV 525?530 and the Concertos or concerto movements based on pieces by other composers BWV 592?596, the volume also contains the Trio in D minor BWV 583, the Trio settings BWV 585?587 as well as the early versions of BWV 527 and 528. Moreover, the CD-ROM offers eight arrangements of trio movements by Bach made by others. In his detailed introduction, Pieter Dirksen discusses various aspects of these pieces' origins, inasmuch as they help us better understand the works. The organist will especially welcome the comments on performance practice and registration. It is precisely the fact that these works derive from chamber-music models that leads to individual considerations for each work group.

Bach, Johann Sebastian Organ Works, Volume 6 Preludes, Toccatas, Fantasias and Fugues II / Early Versions and Variants to I (Volume 5) and II (Volume 6) Editor Kilian, Dietrich / Wollny, Peter Johann Sebastian Bach: Complete Organ Works in revised editions Any complete scholarly critical edition of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach must incorporate new research findings in the interest of scholars and performers alike. Now all of Bärenreiter?s new performing editions of Bach?s organ works are being revised to reflect the current state of scholarship and to convey maximum fidelity to the sources by being linked to ?Bach digital?. The present volume is an updated edition of Series IV, Volume 6 of the ?New Bach Edition? (NBA), prepared by Dietrich Kilian in 1964. The discovery of new sources and a reassessment of existing handwritten copies have brought about changes to the contents of the volume, which now includes the ?Fantasia in C minor? (BWV 1121), the ?Fantasia in G major? (BWV 571), the ?Fugue in G major? (BWV 577) and the C major version of the ?Toccata and Fugue in E major? (BWV 566). On the other hand, the ?Prelude in G major? (BWV 568) as well as the alternative versions of the ?Fugue in C minor? (BWV 574a) and the ?Prelude in A major? (BWV 536a) have been discarded as presumably spurious. Besides the new compilation and corrections of the musical text, the volume also contains a detailed Foreword by Peter Wollny with observations on each work and the extant sources. Page turns have been re-examined and improved. In collaboration with the Bach Archive Leipzig and its ?Bach? digital database, links are provided to all the major sources. The website http://links.baerenreiter.com enables readers to access the relevant page in the source simply and conveniently via short URLs. The links stored there are examined for their validity on a regular basis.

In this collection the composers have attempted to provide pieces that display the individual tone-colours of the modern organ. Works of this nature are scarce but their value particularly for the recital is considerable. This contrasted set could well be played as a group in one programme.

Par LACOTE THOMAS. Ces trois pièces ont été composées entre 2012 et 2015 sur l'orgue Cavaillé-Coll/Beuchet-Debierre de l'église de la Trinité à Paris. Pour The Fifth Hammer et Etude de transparence, la présence de deux boîtes expressives est indispensable. Pour Quilisma, une seule boîte expressive est nécessaire. Dans le cas d'une exécution complète de ce deuxième cahier, Quilisma peut être partagée entre les deux interprètes : l'un prend alors la place de l'autre à la mesure 62. Pour ne pas surcharger la partition, seul un numéro de combinaison est noté sur la partition pour chaque changement de registration. Il renvoie à la table des combinaisons jointe en 'partie séparée' pour chaque pièce. The Fifth Hammer La partition est proposée dans deux versions. La première, pensée pour les ressources de l'orgue de la Trinité, utilise une palette étendue (notamment Quinte 22/3 au Grand-Orgue, Tierce et Piccolo au Positif, Tierce au Récit, jeu d'anche de 16' à chaque clavier). La seconde est une adaptation pour un orgue de dimensions plus restreintes (pas de Quinte 22/3 au Grand-Orgue, pas de Tierce au Récit, pas de jeu d'anche de 16' au Positif) à partir du modèle de l'orgue Rieger du Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP). Aux mesures 1 à 23, quel que soit la clavier sur lequel il joue, l'interprète placé à gauche manipule la boîte expressive du Positif, et celui à droite celle du Récit, selon la disposition habituelle. Durant cette section, on veillera à ouvrir et fermer très progressivement les boîtes expressives, avec un maximum d'amplitude et de précision. Quilisma Dans cette pièce, les passages notés avec une grande précision rythmique visent en premier lieu l'efficacité qualitative d'un phénomène sonore global : ils seront donc interprétés, comme le reste de la pièce, avec la souplesse nécessaire. Mes. 37 : Pour ne pas surcharger la partition, les liaisons ne sont pas notées. Lier toutes les notes communes entre les accords. Mes. 63 : Chaque son, joué initialement au Récit (sans cercle) ou au Positif (avec cercle), est tenu, jusqu'à son passage à l'autre clavier ou une croix. Aucune hauteur n'est jouée simultanément sur les deux claviers à la fois. Durant ce passage, on cherchera le maximum de legato et de continuité dans l'échange entre les deux claviers. Etude de transparence Durant toute la pièce, veiller à ouvrir et fermer très progressivement les boîtes expressives, avec un maximum d'amplitude et de précision. / Contemporain / Etude / Orgue

Lemmens’s Fanfare in D is frequently performed and recorded. The thrilling dynamic contrasts mark it as a piece of his era while the continuous semiquavers in the right hand owe much to the work of Lemmens’s musical hero J S Bach.Jaak Nikolaas [Jacques Nicolas] Lemmens was a Belgian Organist and composer of the 19th century. He was widely acknowledged to be the best Organist of his time with particularly beautiful legato and pedal technique some of which can be discerned from his compositions for his work Organ School where this fanfare first appeared. He was instrumental in bringing the works of Bach to France and Belgium and was influential as an educator.

This edition for advanced organists corrects and combines all of Bolcom's gospel preludes. Includes new program notes.

The Grand Fantasia (The Storm) uses the drama of a physical storm to represent an emotional one. The opening ominous chords lead to thundering chords and a programmatic representation of a storm that could fill every corner of a cathedral with reverberation. The storm is quelled by a Chorale section entitled ‘Prayer’ followed by a swelling finale of grandeur and peace.Jaak Nikolaas [Jacques Nicolas] Lemmens was a Belgian Organist and composer of the 19th century.

Mendelssohn produced an early work for Organ in 1837, but it was a London music publishing firm who commissioned the first of his mature Organ works. The second half of the commissioned pieces are published in this volume. Mendelssohn himself saved all his manuscripts and they have survived in libraries in Berlin and Krakow, providing the subtitle of this book.Eleven movements are included here, all written in 1844 and 1845. What were originally commissioned as 'Voluntaries' were changed at the composer's request to 'Sonatas'. Whether one considers these movements as drafts and sketches or as distinct musical entities in their own right, the works are not identical to the final, printed versions. For those who appreciate or study the Mendelssohn Organ oeuvre, this volume is of immense interest.While the Organ never completely fell from grace as the instrument of church and religious music, it is the editor's belief that in the century dividing JS Bach from these works of Mendelssohn, fashion and church practice had greatly diminished its importance and few works of real note were produced. Mendelssohn was introduced to the Organ early in his prodigious career and found a warm audience for his Organ performances in Engand, to which he returned nine times over nearly twenty years. / Orgue
