pour Orgue-Six Études Op. 5 is a set of studies for Organ by Jeanne Demessieux with a preface by Marcel Dupré.

F major: Alternating chords 5. E major: Repeated notes 6. C sharp minor: octaves Jeanne Demessieux (1921-1968) was a Frenchorganist pianist composer and pedagogue. She studied Organ with Marcel Dupré and was the main organist at La Madeleine in Paris.

Book 1-Sonata No. 1 Op. 5Two Preludes Op. 52Two Meditations Op. 57A Quiet Voluntary Op. 70Basil Harwood's organ music takes a chronological journey through the composer's creative years. This journey begins with the Organ Sonata No. 1 in C sharp minor op. 5 and ends with Quiet Voluntary for Evensong op. 70 composed in 1946 when the composer was eighty-seven. In the intervening years came many and varied compositions often demanding an instrument of ample resources together with a player equal to their somewhat formidable technical demands. Displaying a fine sense of craftsmanship they represent an important contribution to the organ repertoire.Unjustly neglected in the years since the composer's death it is hoped that these six volumes will continue the ever-growing interest in Basil Harwood's music.

Utilisé comme un lieu de culte depuis des siècles, d'abord par les chrétiens et par les musulmans puis (à partir de 1453), la basilique Sainte-Sophie (Istanbul) étonne encore des gens de partout dans le monde. Depuis 1934, il est un musée - mais plus que cela, l'Hagia Sophia, une oeuvre architecturale unique de proportions monumentales dans l'Antiquité chrétienne et du Moyen Age, est décrit comme un lieu mystique. Monumental, encore mystérieuse, un 'miracle de l'espace', un symbole, un signe. 'Sophia', la sainte sagesse, nous accompagne à travers toute l'histoire de la Bible.La musique actuelle doit être considérée dans ce contexte: A la réflexion, la contemplation de la musique et de la poésie. La création est puissante, mais la vérité à ce sujet est puissant aussi. Et la prise de conscience que le chemin de la vérité est atteint par la sagesse. En conséquence, cette pièce doit traverser le puissant pour la moitié de sa durée, monumental. Il s'agit de la coupole au-dessus toutes les suivantes (d'observation) versets (sections). Depuis la barre 371, le chemin ramène à la puissance, à la joie (bar 406). Il ne faut pas oublier de mentionner la suggestion de 'chanter dans une mosquée' (barre de 510) qui est répondu par une simple prière (bar 511). Ce n'est pas sans rappeler la mosaïque dessus de la porte impériale du bâtiment dépeindre Jésus-Christ assis sur un trône orné de bijoux. Il tient un livre ouvert dans lequel on peut lire: 'La paix soit avec vous. Je suis la lumière du monde '.La ligne et le son de Sainte-Sophie sont basées sur un symétrique huit notes rangée (mode B) avec la note B, C sharp, D, E / F, G, A plat (sol dièse), si bémol (A dièse). Bien que les relations majeure-mineure sont retirés, les connexions harmoniques (couleurs) apparaissent néanmoins. / Orgue
