Bach's towering musical achievement was to present in its final shape the 'fabric of polyhony' (Grove Dictionary). This is no more axiomatic than in his Preludes and Fugues for Organ. Regarded as the world's greatest composer for organ Bach coupled mastery of the instrument with his genius for composition to produce some of the richest and most beautiful music of all time. This comprehensive volume - reproduced directly from the authoritave Bach-Gesellschaft edition - reprints 25 sets of preludes and fugues i.e compositions written as fugues. Individual Preludes and Fugues composed over the years are not included.

The first performance of Six Bagatelles was given by Margaret Phillips in St Michael’s Church Lyme Regis on 18 November 2011.Six Bagatelles are transcriptions for organ of six of the Bagatelles diverses originallywritten for solo piano. These are published by Chester Music (order no. CH74371) and have been recorded by Caroline Clemmow on ‘Burlesque’ - Piano Music by Brian Chapple (divineart dda25056).'I am very grateful toMargaret Phillips for her helpful comments and practical suggestions in the preparation of these pieces for performance.' - Brian Chapple'This engaging set was originally written for solo pianoand transcribed for organ for Margaret Phillips who first performed them in 2011. The transcriptions are most successful: idiomatic and allowing plenty of scope for colourful registrations. Harmonically the music is dissonant yet accessible; themes are engaging and well developed. The fifth is the most extended an inventive dancing scherzo coupling sliding chromaticism with a fierce inner rhythmic drive. This would make an excellent set for theadventurous recitalist but could equally be played individually in a liturgical setting.' - Sunday by Sunday

Nach Klavierstücken Aus Dem 'Mikrokosmos'. Reprint Der Erstausgabe. Par BARTOK BELA. Against the venture of making accessible to the organ piano compositions by Bartók one can, I admit, put forward not only the reasons which oppose any kind of transcript on whatsoever, but also those which have their origin in the imcompatibility of profane organ writing with the world of the organ. One must, however, not forget that all such transcriptions, no matter which way they go have suffered from the sam dilemma - and yet, they have fulfilled their purpose by helping to chose gaps in the repertory.

Martin Luther. Par SCHNEIDER ENJOTT. On the occasion of the quincentenary of Reformation Day in 2017, the composer Enjott Schneider thoroughly studied Martin Luther the individual and all his contradictions. The result is a brilliant, demanding organ symphony which is perfect for concerts on the subject of Reformation and Martin Luther. The composer describes the five movements of the symphony as follows: '1st movement: Wir glauben all an einen Gott with its quintuplet-like beginning is very Gregorian in style, outlining the range of Lutheran emotionalism between the Middle Ages and the modern era. The irrationality of 'faith' ultimately has priority over any thought and evidence. At the beginning of the movement, sounds of knocking on wood remind of the nailing of the Ninety-Five Theses to the doors of churches in Wittenberg. The chorale melody sometimes hides with an almost rough medieval saltarello, referring to Luther's robustness and vitality with which he knew to carry away even common people. 2nd movement: In 1530, the electoral prince of Saxony presented to Luther at Coburg Castle the golden signet ring with the 'Luther rose' which became the symbol of his theology of grace. A white heart with black cross is fixed on a five-petalled rose. To him, 'white' is the colour of angels and ghosts, 'black' stands for the pain of crucification: 'The just shall live by faith, but by faith in the Crucified.' But the fact that the rose and the heart are the dominating symbols shows how Catholic Marian piety remained an ingredient of Luther's spirituality throughout his life. In line with the dominant five-petal structure of the rose, this movement was composed, to a large extent, in accordance with the floating, lyrical rhythm in 5/8 time. 3rd movement: The omnipresence of death and dying – from the plague and war to the never-ending dangers of daily life – was an essential part of the world view of that time. Fears ensued that might heighten into the grotesque, e.g. in the pictures of Hieronymus Bosch. The 'Danse macabre' was a popular motif in those years. Luther's chorale 'Mitten wir im Leben sind / mit dem Tod umfangen' from 1524 ('Enchiridion' from Erfurt) is based on the Gregorian chant 'Media vita in morte sumus' created in France around 750 and, with its idea of transience, inspired a simplistic air. 4th movement: The famous confession delivered at the Diet of Worms in 1521, 'I stand here and can say no more. God help me. Amen', are not Luther's words but the version later used as text for a pamphlet. However, it represents quite plainly the straightforwardness and inevitability of his mission. Musically, it was made into a 'perpetuum mobile', i.e. a dogged, ostinato and never-ending musical air. 5th movement: The 'Mighty Fortress', on the other hand, is one of the great symbols of Martin Luther which, with its shining C major key, embodies the Protestant ideology and willful nature of the Reformation unlike any other song. Heinrich Heine called it the 'Marseille anthem of the Reformation', Friedrich Engels the 'Marseillaise of the Peasants' Wars'. This disputability is not thought through to the end but rather interrupted: With a jubilant 'birdcall version' of the melody, the finale shows a rather chamber-music-like side of the 'ideals of freedom of Christians'.'/ Répertoire / Orgue
