Cette 'Petite Suite liturgique' fut comosée en septembre 2011 par Félix Moreau, alors organiste titulaire de la cathédrale de Nantes, Plusieurs de ses élèves demandaient pour le culte des pièces d'orgue courtes, de style actuel, assez faciles et sans pédale, 'Je me suis efforcé d'écrire pour orgue 7 verstets ou interludes brefs, sans pédale et dans le style tonal et atonal', Félix Moreau - Petite pastorale (00:50)- Récit de cornet (01:00)- Prière (02:00)- A la manière d'une passacaille (02:00)- Monodie (02:00)- Choral (02:00)- Prélude Paraphrase sur l'Introït de la fête de la Pentecôte (02:00) / Orgue

Par LACOTE THOMAS. A l'origine de Phteggomai se trouve un émerveillement : celui d'écouter la propagation d'un son projeté dans l'espace de la cathédrale de Chartres. Il y a là une expérience qui dépasse le simple plaisir acoustique ou esthétique, pour atteindre une émotion presque surhumaine, tant l'écoute, tout autant et même plus que la vue, nous permet de saisir, et d'être saisi par, les dimensions et la force transcendante de l'édifice. En grec ancien, le verbe 'phteggomai' (f?????µa?) signifie proférer, se faire entendre, proclamer à pleine voix. Ainsi le centre de gravité de l'orgue dans cette pièce est un jeu de cornet, plein et sonore, qui rebondit et se diffracte dans l'acoustique, s'anime, tourbillonne, et se métamorphosera peu à peu en une masse colossale qui semble atteindre les dimensions même de la cathédrale. La trajectoire de la pièce n'a rien cependant d'une trop évidente ligne droite : elle est aussi faite de nombreuses brisures, d'hésitations, de parenthèses. Au halo prolongeant les sons, créé par le lieu et par une forme de 'persistance rétinienne' de l'oreille, je mêle de multiples traînes inventées, comme des queues de comètes imaginaires. C'est la même racine grecque qui est utilisée dans un verset fort mystérieux d'un psaume (Psaume 18, verset 5), évoquant la manière dont les cieux pourraient chanter la gloire de leur Créateur, jusqu'aux limites du monde. Pour les bâtisseurs des cathédrales, celles-ci n'étaient bien sûr pas seulement des temples de pierre : elles étaient aussi l'image même du cosmos. Ainsi, j'ai placé en tête de la partition de Phteggomai l'audacieuse traduction de ce même verset biblique qu'a donnée Paul Claudel : 'J'entends un son qui va jusqu'au bout, une parole jusqu'aux parois de l'univers pour la répercuter.' Phteggomai est une commande de l'Association des Grandes Orgues de Chartres, pour la finale du Grand Prix d'interprétation. Elle est dédiée à Philippe Lefebvre et Patrick Delabre. / Contemporain / Répertoire / Orgue

The New Edition of Bach's Complete Organ Works 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 and Härtel 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 The edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's organ works which Breitkopf and Härtel is beginning to publish in fall 2010 wants to do justice to these demands. Next to the core contents of the repertoire, it will also feature all of the master's 'clavier' works which require an independent pedal. Moreover, it will include all authentic early versions as well as the fragmentarily transmitted works. As to the dubious works, it will contain those which can be attributed to Bach today with considerable certainty. It offers incerta, early, and alternative versions on CD-ROM In this work group, the new edition uses for the first time the modern forms of editorial technique with which the synoptical depiction of various versions is made possible on CD-ROM. Thanks to the collaboration with the EDIROM project, which is a leader in the field of digital scientific editorial technique, the edition offers new types of solutions. Incerta, early, and alternative versions that cannot be included in the printed volumes for reasons of size or problems of authenticity, are published on CD-ROM, supplied with comments, and depicted synoptically. Thus, after comparing the versions, the player can decide upon a different version than the one printed in the volume, and can make a high-quality print-out of it. The texts and comments customary to the 'Breitkopf Urtext' editions comprehensive introductions, extensive source descriptions and text-critical observations can be found in the printed version of the volumes. Edited by a competent team: With Werner Breig (Erlangen), Pieter Dirksen (Culemborg/Netherlands) and Reinmar Emans (Bochum), a.o. we have brought together a team that guarantees the highest expertise in various domains. Further Bach experts such as Sven Hiemke (Hamburg), David Schulenberg (Boston) and Jean-Claude Zehnder (Basel) were also enlisted for the edition of single volumes. Werner Breig (* 1932) studied Evangelical church music in Berlin as well as musicology in Erlangen and Hamburg. He obtained his doctorate in 1962 and completed his habilitation (postdoctoral lecturing qualification) in 1973. He then devoted himself to musicology at the Universities of Freiburg i. Br, Karlsruhe, Wuppertal and Bochum. Since his retirement in 1997 he has been living in Erlangen. Between 1997 and 2007 Breig was appointed General Editor of the complete edition of Richard Wagners letters. He is the author of many publications and editions, particularly of early clavier and organ music by Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach, but also of Richard Wagner and Arnold Schoenberg. Furthermore he is the author of the Bach article in the dictionary Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart (MGG, 2nd edition). Pieter Dirksen (* 1961) studied organ, harpsichord and musicology. His 1996 doctoral thesis on Sweelinck's keyboard music was awarded the Praemium Erasmianum. Dirksen has since published many studies on, and editions of, several masters of the 17th century (Sweelinck, Bull, Cornet, Scheidt, Scheidemann, Buxtehude, Luebeck, Johann Christoph Bach) as well as Johann Sebastian Bach. In collaboration with Harald Vogel, he edited Sweelinck's Complete Works for Keyboard Instrument (4 volumes, Breitkopf and Härtel). Dirksen is a member of the academic board of the Bach-Jahrbuch as well as a sought-after harpsichordist, organist and continuo player in international ensembles. Dirksen issued a number of much-acclaimed solo recordings (Sweelinck, Scheidemann, Boehm, Louis Couperin, Bach-Vivaldi, Bachs Art of Fugue and Goldberg Variations). Edison Winner 2003. Reinmar Emans (* 1953) studied musicology in Bonn and wrote his doctoral thesis on the cantatas and canzonettas of Giovanni Legrenzi in 1982. From 1983 to 2008 he was an academic staff member of the Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Institut Göttingen, and temporarily deputy of the managing director. He has taught in Bochum, Marburg, Detmold, Cologne and Hamburg, and has been a freelance contributor to various music periodicals. In 2000 he was responsible for the conception and direction of the Thuringian state exhibition 'Der junge Bach: Weil er nicht aufzuhalten' in Erfurt. He has conducted research and produced publications on opera and the cantata in 17th-century Italy, on stylistic development in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, and on editorial philology./ Répertoire / Orgue
