Little Organ Book / Six Chorales 'Von Verschiedener Art' (Schübler-Chorales) / Chorale-Partitas. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Replaces BA 5171 Volume 1 of Bach' s organ music presents some of the most frequently played organ pieces altogether. Here they appear in a new engraving based on the New Bach Edition (NBA). This updated edition takes into account the latest findings of Bach scholarship: Thus, for example, a newly-discovered copy of the first edition containing inscriptions in Bach' s own hand could be incorporated into the musical text of the Schübler Chorales. For the Orgel-Büchlein, Bach' s autograph manuscript remains the principal source. Yet a glance at its early dissemination among his pupils reveals an abundance of readings that give interested organists insights into how perhaps Bach' s most famous collection was played at that time. Unfortunately no autograph manuscripts survive regarding the early chorale partitas. However the Foreword helps to solve the 'riddle' of how these partitas were handed down. Links to major sources have been provided in collaboration with the Bach Archive Leipzig and its Bach digital database. The relevant page of the source in question can be accessed quickly and conveniently via shortlinks at http://links.baerenreiter.com. These links are checked for their validity on a regular basis. - Complete new engraving - New detailed Foreword by Christine Blanken (Ger/Eng) - Links to relevant sources in Bach digital/ Répertoire / Orgue

Le ' petit livre d'orgue ', peut-être la plus célèbre collection jamais des préludes chorals, doit son titre à l'application de J.S. Bach pour le poste de Cantor à l'église Saint-Thomas de Leipzig. N'ayant pas un diplôme universitaire, Bach voulait démontrer ses qualités comme enseignant à travers ses compositions - y compris ses Inventions, Sinfonias et le ' bien tempérée Klavier '. Cela aussi amené à ajouter un titre trompeur au projet plus ambitieux de son temps à Weimar : il a appelé de cette collection de pièces de chorale preludes - initialement destinés à numéro 164 pièces - pour un ' organiste aspirant '. En fait les 44 terminé les compositions de la ' petit livre d'orgue 'exigent des chefs-d'oeuvre qui donnent un impressionnant étalage de la gamme complète de la soi-disant court chorale prelude. Cette nouvelle édition critique renvoie au format des principales sources datant de l'époque de Bach, pour la première fois que la plupart des pièces est reproduite sur les deux systèmes, plutôt que de trois. / Orgue / Partition

3 Chorale Fantasias, Chorale Variation, 6 Hymn Settings. Par PRAETORIUS MICHAEL. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) a seulement atteint l'âge de 50 ans, mais a laissé une remarquable richesse des compositions et des traités. D'un point de vue musicologique, il prend une fonction centrale comme médiateur entre la tradition allemande bien établie de la musique d'église protestante et le nouveau monodique, style concertante de composition italienne au début du XVIIe siècle. Après sa formation musicale apparemment self-instructed, il a conclu son premier emploi comme organiste à St. Mary à Francfort/Oder en 1587 et plus tard à la Cour de l'évêque amoureux de la musique de prince Henry Jules de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Après la mort de ce dernier suivi instables et énergie-sapement ans. Musique d'orgue des Praetorius couvre exclusivement cantus firmus : trois fantaisies choral qui fascinent par leur variété de style, une paire de variations avec une technique de figuration riche et les modalités de leur composition novatrice hymn six. Vis-à-vis du style, son oeuvre est enracinée dans le traditionnel allemand org.../ Répertoire / Orgue

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The now-published volumes 9 and 10 have presented a special challenge, for particularly in the field of the chorale arrangements the transmissions are more complex than in any other group of works. This ties in with the crucial question of Bach?s authorship, which has been the subject of much controversy in the past. There were heated discussions about it even just prior to our edition, and editors and publisher are aware that the present selection is a thoroughly debatable snapshot. More on this in the volumes? text sections. The situation of the chorale partitas is not quite so dramatic, whereby these holdings also had to be subdivided for reasons of transmission into mainsection, appendix, and online presentation. The so called ?Neumeister-Choräle? are incorporated in the group of the separately transmitted chorale settings in alphabetical order, because the compilation of the pieces does not follow any collection idea of Bach (such as, for example, his larger late collections). The indication ?Neumeister-Sammlung? should facilitate the attribution. Those works requiring further research, besides of some versions, are presented online, since their profile reveals less evidence of the true author. / Date parution : 2021-11-25/ Recueil / Orgue

Pendant son séjour à Weimar (1848-1861), Liszt a développé un style entièrement nouveau, puis d'organes qui se distingue par des éléments à la fois l'orchestre et pianistique. En collaboration avec le maître de chapelle Gottschalg Alexander Wilhelm (1827-1908) à partir Tiefurt, il a régulièrement lancé ce qu'on appelle des conférences d'organes '. Et c'était à la suggestion de GOTTSCHALG que l'arrangement actuel de la chorale de Saint-Jacques de 'Tannhäuser' l'opéra a été écrit. Avec sa version pour orgue, Liszt, par le biais de cet exemple, a jeté les bases pour la tradition (pas toujours incontestée), s'étendant à l'heure actuelle, de l'orgue des transcriptions des opéras de Wagner. Des organistique des éléments de la Pilgrims 'Choir sont le thème de choral classique, le solennel 'sacré' de l'atmosphère solennelle le tempo ainsi que la cantability expressive. L'intensification linéaire, du piano-orgue-antiphonaire comme dolce du début à la 'organe plein', peut être réalisé de manière convaincante avec un orchestralement conçu trois claviers orgue, avec l'utilisation sensible de la boîte expressive et la successive , transparente accumulation de la pédale de crescendo étant d'une importance particulière. Pièce du répertoire important marquant le 200e anniversaire de Richard Wagner en 2013. / Orgue

Par PART ARVO. The basic musical material of 'Pari intervallo' by Arvo Pärt consists of two parts which move exactly parallel to each other, so that the interval between them is always the same- hence the title. 'Pari Intervallo' is reminiscent of achorale prelude which might be prefaced with the lines from Romans 14/8: 'lf we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord.' Now for the first time available as a single edition for organ. / Musique contemporaine / Répertoire / Orgue

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

Hermann Schroeder (1904-1984) figure parmi les plus grands compositeurs allemands orgue du 20e siècle, d'être un excellent organiste lui-même. Beaucoup de ses plus de 100 oeuvres pour orgue abordent des thèmes de la chorale grégorienne. Diatonisme modale Le choral qui est plus libre et différent de celui de la tonalité plus tard, majeur-mineur établit une parfaite symbiose avec la tonalité libre du compositeur contemporain. Dans la partita en cinq mouvements choral, plus de 1000 ans Mixolydien Pentecôte Séquence de Raban Maur (9e siècle) est utilisé d'une manière imaginative et formellement varié: comme une toccata virtuose, dans le deuxième mouvement 'ostinato' en tant que trio stricte couchait sur un ostinato de sept bar dans la pédale, comme un caprice ludique 'bicinium ', et en tant que méditative, harmoniquement appel' arioso '. Le cinquième mouvement (fantasia ricercare) affiche brillants plein mains les accords et les passages virtuoses ainsi que d'un fugato dans la section centrale. Un morceau de concert enrichissante pour la Pentecôte, avec une excellente possibilité d'interprétation virtuose et d'enregistrement coloré. / Orgue / 16 pages / niveau : Intermédiaire / Partition
