Sonntagsmusik-The new edition of what is with doubt Petr Eben's most famous composition for the royal instrument is based on a revision by Prof. Jan Hora undertaken in cooperation with the composer. Since this cycle was written half a century ago (1958) the Organ has undergone certain changes and it was therefore necessary to make corrections in the notation of this classic work in order that it corresponds to the way the instrument is played today. But it was not only contemporary aspects which influenced this latest edition. We also took a step back right to the very beginning giving the work its original title Musica Dominicalis which furtherunderlines its timelessness. This edition contains a preface and notes on performing the work by Jan Hora in three languages (Cz./Ger./Eng.)

Franz Schubert’s song Ave Maria is among his very most famous works and one of the best-loved works of he classical repertoire. In this version published by the Spanish Musical Union in 1945 the song has been adapted for solo Piano and the key transposed from B flat to C.Schubert’s Ave Maria was originally composed in 1825 as one of seven songs created from the epic poem The Lady of the Lake by Walter Scott written to set the German translation of the work. The song was fairly quickly adapted for the words of the Catholic prayer Ave Maria and the Schubert melody is now frequently performed in the religious context.

Selected from Musica Britannica Volume 69. Edited by Barry Cooper.This collection of sixteen pieces by John Blow (1649-1708) taken from the complete organ music published in Volume 69 of Musica Britannica is an authoritative introduction to the work of the leading Restoration English composer of organ music. More organ music from this period is ascribed to Blow than to all his English contemporaries put together including Henry Purcell. In compiling this anthology the editor has incorporated both the best examples from the corpus and those that were most popular in the composer's lifetime while illustrating the variety of styles he used. Most of the pieces may be played ona single manual but there are also 'double voluntaries' (for two manuals) and 'cornet voluntaries' (for two or three manuals). The collection includes advice on ornamentation and a comprehensive editorial note.

Toccata and Lament was composed on commission in 2008 to inaugurate the large new organ in the Christ Church Cathedral Rochester NY USA. This instrument is a detailed reconstruction of a late Baroque organ of 1776 from Vilnius in Lithuania. The point of departure a clash of contrasting eras and musical cultures on two continents already bodes excitement. Martin Herchenröder a composer and professor of music theory has incorporated these contrasts in his roughly eight-minute composition. The result is a musical idiom of rare distinction universal in its musical resources and alternating between tonal triads and extremely dissonant clusters. The heart of the pieceis a dirge which using the Baroque doctrine of the affections relates to Eastern European cultural history in and around Vilnius a history marked by the predations of 20th-Century war.Expressive and effective contemporary organ musicAmalgam of musical traditions from the 18th to 21st CenturyExplanatory foreword by the composer (Ger/Eng)

The reputation of the Bohemian composer Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) has always been somewhat overshadowed by that of Bedrich Smetana and Anton n Dvorák. This is a pity for Fibich though he died young made an equally important contribution to the emerging Czech national styl with his wide range of compositions. After starting piano lessons with his mother as his first teacher the boy went on to music school in Prague and then to the Leipzig Conservatoire where he learned his craft as a composer. He spent a few months teaching piano in Paris and then continued his studies with Vinzenz Lachner in Mannheim. Prague was eventually to become the centre for Fibich'smusical activities: as his dream of a post at the Conservatoire remained unfulfilled his main employment was giving private music lessons and as a composer Zdenek Fibich wrote works for many musical genres: vocal and chamber music piano pieces and orchestral works operas stage music and melodramas literary recitals with orchestral accompaniment to which he gave a new lease of life. There are biographical traces to be found in the 376 piano pieces of the collection 'Moods Impressions and Reminiscences' Op. 41 written in 1892-98: this tells of his love for his pupil Anezka Schulzová in the form of a 'piano diary'. Its four volumes were frequently a source of material for other works such as the symphonic poem 'In the Evening' Op. 39 (also known as 'A Summer's Evening' and 'At Twilight') written in 1893. For his second subject in this 'Idyll' Fibich used the minature no. 139 entitled 'Lento' from his collection of piano pieces. The violinst Jan Kubel k played the melody from 1908 onwards with the title 'Poème' and the work is still known today under this title: its easy charm has made it a favourite tune in the classical repertoire. This arrangement is based on the orchestral version from which other material was adapted for the Prelude.

Par CAROL HENRI. La registration à l'orgue est une science et un art. Notre souhait serait d'éclairer et guider en premier lieu l'élève d'orgue : mais aussi celui qui aime cet instrument, soit au disque, soit au concert, soit - bien entendu - à l'église ou au temple, car c'est là, en fait, sa place privilégiée. Nous avons dit 'guider'. Devant une oeuvre d'art (dans un musée, par exemple), le guide suscite l'admiration pour telle oeuvre, tel détail - mais même (et surtout) s'il s'adresse à des connaisseurs, il s'en tiendra là et laissera à chacun le soin de partager (ou non) cette admiration. Le goût - qui suppose un choix - ne s'impose pas. Il se forme ! Que de fois avons-nous entendu dire à propos des jeux de mixtures : 'Qu'allez-vous faire de tous ces 'sifflets' (sic) ?', ou bien, à propos d'un orgue néo-baroque : 'La perfection d'harmonie de cet instrument permet de jouer Franck, Vierne et Messiaen !' Voire... C'est dire combien la registration à l'orgue est un sujet dans lequel il convient d'entrer... sur la pointe des pieds ! Sujet délicat entre tous. Noélie Pierront nous dit (dans L'Orgue, #100, p. 132) : 'Il me semble impossible d'aimer l'orgue sans essayer de rassembler une bibliothèque consacrée à notre instrument. De Dom Bedos aux jeunes contemporains, en passant par A. Pirro, F. Raugel, A. Cellier et leurs émules, que d'ouvrages passionnants, parfois rarissimes !' Depuis longtemps, en effet, les théoriciens se sont penchés sur le problème de la registration - qu'il nous suffise de citer : 1608 : Arte organica, Integnati 1613 : Melopeo, Cerone 1619 : Organographia, Praetorius 1636 : Harmonie universelle, Mersenne 1768 : Musica mechanica, Adlung 1766/1770 : L'art du facteur d'orgue, Dom Bedos, né à Caux-en-Biterrois. D'autres encore, dont les noms figurent dans la bibliographie, continuent aujourd'hui recherches ou synthèses en parlant de ces ouvrages de base. Des revues comme L'Orgue ou La Tribune de l'orgue - entre autres apportent régulièrement en leurs articles des éclairages nouveaux ou instructifs. Le côté 'facture' n'étant pas notre propos, nous nous sommes bornés à étudier l'essentiel du matériel sonore et des moyens mis à la disposition de l'organiste pour en tirer le meilleur parti. Maître des possibilités que lui offre la console et - bien entendu - maître de la technique et des styles d'interprétation indispensables à telle ou telle page (faire 'des pieds et des mains' ne suffit plus, il faut aujourd'hui 'jouer des coudes'), il peut ainsi redonner une 'vie sonore' aux notes de la partition. Sa science de la registration devient alors un art ! Pensé et écrit pour mes élèves, je dédie ce petit travail à M. Fernand Bertrand, directeur de l'académie Rainier III de Monaco, qui m'a confié sa classe d'orgue. / classique / Répertoire / Orgue

Connaissez-vous Dynam-Victor FUMET ? Il fut un organiste comme il n'y en a guère dans tout un siècle. Disciple de Franck, il avait d'autre part reçu en héritage un don d'improvisation qui confinait au génie. Tout jeune, je l'ai entendu une seule fois à l'orgue de Sainte-Anne-de-la-Maison-Blanche dont il était le titulaire. Je reçus ce jour-là une des plus foudroyantes émotions de ma vie. Etre pris, vous savez ce que cela signifie ? Pris, aspiré comme par un maelström, vidé de toute substance personnelle, mais traversé en retour par un fleuve de feu qui me ravissait en me brûlant. Tous ceux qui ont entendu Fumet ont éprouvé des impressions analogues à la mienne. Son nom ne s'est jamais effacé de ma mémoire'. Ainsi s'exprimait le célèbre critique Bernard GAVOTY dans 'MUSICA? de 1969. / Orgue

Under the title of 'Kleinere Werke' [Small Works] the second volume of Organ works by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in the Wiener Urtext Edition contains all works written by the composer except for the multi-movement sonatas for Organ: preludes fugues trio chorale arrangements and pieces for musical clock. The fugues in particular prove that C. Ph. E. Bach was an attentive pupil of his father. The music theoretician Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg appreciated these fugues so much that he included some of them as examples in his theoretical writings. The pieces for musical clock are a varied selection of pieces in the style galant which were originallywritten for mechanical instruments and which are best to be performed on the organ. Together with the Organ sonatas published in Vol. 1 this is probably the most comprehensive collection of works by Bach's second eldest son which can be performed on the Organ.

Orgelbüchlein - mit CD-ROM-Breitkopf Urtext edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's Complete Organ Works. Music text faithful to the sources and reflecting the current status of Bach research. Developed for musical practice through the cooperation of scholars and performers. Contains all of Bach's Keyboard works that require an independent pedal manual. Contains all authentic early versions and fragmentarily transmitted or dubious works that can be attributed to Bach with a fair amount of certainty. Features comprehensive introductions extensive source descriptions and text-critical notes. Featuressupplementary material illustrated synoptically on CD-ROM (in printable quality) Brochure in large format (32 x 25 cm) and compact music engraving clear easy to read with convenient page turns. With repertoire works musicians often have the choice between editions conceived for practical music-making and others that are more scholarly in concept. This also applies to the Organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach which are available today in various editions. Among them is that of Heinz Lohmann which Breitkopf & H?rtel began publishing in 1967 and whose concept strove for an amalgamation of practice and Urtext. Current Urtext status historically informed edited with performers in mind:More than 40 years later the demands made on a new Urtext edition of Bach's Organ works are as stringent as ever before. Next to the results of scholarly research on Bach and the sources aspects of a historically informed performance practice are increasingly claiming our attention today. Also important for study teaching and concert performance are in addition to the above-mentioned demands such external criteria as format paper convenient page turns and an easily legible layout that helps the user quickly grasp the musical context. The new edition beginning in 2010 also contains all Keyboard works with pedal and the 'dubious works' that are hardly dubious anymore.This edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's Organ works wants to do justice to these demands.
