The Planets-The Planets is cast as a single unit consisting of seven movements varying greatly in character each of which describes a planet or a celestial body. The music for Sol is built out of the massive tutti-sound of the organ. The feeling is very much like the feeling of the sun shining down brightly onto you on a warm summer’s day.

Bach: Complete Organ Works Vol. 7 Orgelbüchlein - with CD-ROM - ed. by Sven Hiemke Of great practical value ?This edition has everything it takes to replace the Griepenkerl edition for practical music-making,? opined Rainer Goede (in ?kirchmusik.de?) immediately after the release of Volumes 5 and 6. If such a high degree of practical value is attested to these two volumes, then Volume 7 can proudly claim to have the highest practical value of all, since it has the greatest scope of all the volumes. After all, no organist can do without the basic repertoire of the 45 chorale preludes. Edited by Sven Hiemke, the book offers the best possible prerequisites for everyday use. The musical text is as faithful to the sources as possible, and it preserves Bach?s graphic idiosyncrasies in the beaming of eighth notes and sixteenth notes. Furthermore, the chorales are reproduced on three staves, which is fully in keeping with the practice of the Bach era ? but not with the source, however, since the composer himself notated the pieces of the ?Orgelbüchlein? on two staves, either for reasons of economy or for lack of space. The enclosed CD-ROM contains early versions and anonymous arrangements which should encourage organists to explore this repertoire in greater depth.

Le ' petit livre d'orgue ', peut-être la plus célèbre collection jamais des préludes chorals, doit son titre à l'application de J.S. Bach pour le poste de Cantor à l'église Saint-Thomas de Leipzig. N'ayant pas un diplôme universitaire, Bach voulait démontrer ses qualités comme enseignant à travers ses compositions - y compris ses Inventions, Sinfonias et le ' bien tempérée Klavier '. Cela aussi amené à ajouter un titre trompeur au projet plus ambitieux de son temps à Weimar : il a appelé de cette collection de pièces de chorale preludes - initialement destinés à numéro 164 pièces - pour un ' organiste aspirant '. En fait les 44 terminé les compositions de la ' petit livre d'orgue 'exigent des chefs-d'oeuvre qui donnent un impressionnant étalage de la gamme complète de la soi-disant court chorale prelude. Cette nouvelle édition critique renvoie au format des principales sources datant de l'époque de Bach, pour la première fois que la plupart des pièces est reproduite sur les deux systèmes, plutôt que de trois. / Orgue / Partition
