Ã?dition Originale-This volume in the series ?Les Éditions Originales Durand · Salabert · Eschig? contains Maurice Duruflé?s works for Organ taken from the editions in Durand catalogue.  The original engravings are reproduced giving musicians a valuable record of how these major works were first published whether in the composer?s lifetime or posthumously. With Olivier Messiaen Maurice Duruflé formed part of an illustrious generation of composers who received the decisive imprint of Tournemire either through his teaching or through his immense cycle L?Orguemystiquer. In his catalogue Organ music naturally has a major place. He did not force his own nature into any new aesthetic as he championed modality such as medieval music has codified it asserting that ?I have always inhabited Gregorian chant which is obviously a fairly well-behaved language?.

By the most extraordinary coincidence I had already done a good deal of sketching for this Organ piece before this all happened and had determined on a 'darkness-to-light' kind of piece - so the coincidence as well as my feelings of elation were both too strong to ignore.The piece persues a course from a fairly knotty slow beginning (heralded by a few chords that recur at the very end) full of rising themes (another coincidence - the material had already been sketched before the miners were trapped underground) and reaching a loud climax the quick toccata-like second section bursting vigourously out of the tension which is created at the beginning of the work.

Orgel Büchlein-Volume 1 of Bach?s organ music presents some of the most frequently played organ pieces altogether. Here they appear in a new engraving based on the New Bach Edition (NBA).This updated edition takes into account the latest findings of Bach scholarship: thus for example a newly-discovered copy of the first edition containing inscriptions in Bach?s own hand could be incorporated into the musical text of the Schübler Chorales.For the Orgel-Büchlein Bach?s autograph manuscript remains the principal source. Yet a glance at its early dissemination among his pupils reveals an abundance of readings that give interested organists insights into how perhaps Bach?smost famous collection was played at that time.Unfortunately no autograph manuscripts survive regarding the early chorale partitas. However the Foreword helps to solve the ?riddle? of how these partitas were handed down.Links to major sources have been provided in collaboration with the Bach Archive Leipzig and its Bach digital database. The relevant page of the source in question can be accessed quickly and conveniently via shortlinks at http://links.baerenreiter.com.
