Featuring two holiday songs from Renaissance France, this composition provides a great contrasting selection for your winter concert, but is also effective at other times of the year. Easy ranges and light technical demands allow students to develop more musical concepts such as phrasing, style and dynamics. A very authentic-sounding, yet playable setting!

Elegy' is a homage to the influential 20thC English composer John W. Duarte (1919-2004). Elegy does not reflect the compositional style of Duarte, but rather is an acknowledgement of his editorial publication for Chester Music (1984) of 'Homenaje pour le Tombeau de Claude Debussy', composed by Manual de Falla (1920). Consequently, 'Elegy' adopts the compositional style of the Habanera.

I first met John W. Duarte in 1990, at the Wirral International Guitar Festival and it was on this occasion that he shared with me advice about composing for guitar. Subsequently, thereafter I met him several times at the same event and was always struck by his enthusiasm to generously share his knowledge about music. In 2020 I was honoured to be asked, by JWD's son, Chris Duarte, to edit some previously unpublished works written by his father - works that are now also published by Les Productions d'OZ.

Elegy has been recorded by the Argentinian guitarist Daniela Rossi on Brilliant Classics 97470 - John W. Duarte Guitar Music Vol.5, Homages.

J'ai rencontré John W. Duarte pour la première fois en 1990, au Wirral International Guitar Festival et c'est à cette occasion qu'il m'a partagé des conseils sur la composition pour guitare. Par la suite, je l'ai rencontré à plusieurs reprises lors d'un même événement et j'ai toujours été frappé par son enthousiasme à partager généreusement ses connaissances en matière de musique. En 2020, j'ai eu l'honneur d'être invité par le fils de JWD, Chris Duarte, à éditer des œuvres inédites écrites par son père - œuvres qui sont désormais également publiées par Les Productions d'OZ.

Johann Georg Zechner is considered to be one of the most prolific Austrian composers of church music during the time of Maria Theresa. His ca. 250 surviving compositions, including works in practically all genre of church music, found a wide reception in many Austrian, Bohemian and Moravian monasteries and in pilgrimage churches. His Grosse Orgelsolomesse was probably composed in 1761 for the dedication of the organ in the monastery at Gottweig. As in other of his late works, the strict royal style, which essentially characterizes Zechner's compositions, is tempered through the use of elements of the galant style of composition. The organ plays solistically in all of the movements.
