Auf die Entwicklung der französischen Musik gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhundert übte Vincent d'Indy ähnlich großen Einfluss aus wie sein Zeitgenosse Charles-Marie Widor: kompositorisch in fast allen musikalischen Genres präsent, hat er ein ebenso umfassendes wie bedeutendes symphonisches ouvre hinterlassen, in dem freilich das Orgelwerk des zeitweiligen Organisten (in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt) und Mitbegründers der Schola Cantorum bemerkenswert überschaubar bleibt.Alle genuin für die Orgel komponierten Werke eignet ihnen ein ausgesprochen kontemplativer, religiös inspirierter und nobler Gestus, dem jeder exaltierte Selbstdarstellungsgestus fremd ist. Strenge und filigrane Satztechnik stehen ganz im Dienst der musikalischen Aussage. Prélude et petit Canon op. 38 entstand 1893. Das Thema prägt zusammen mit seinem Kontrapunkt sowohl das Prélude wie den Kanon, erscheint in der Reprise in der Umkehrung, bevor die aparte Komposition mit dem Kanon endet. Die Vêpres du Commun des Saints op. 51 komponierte d'Indy 1899; sie erschienen erstmals 1907 im Eigenverlag der Schola Cantorum. Die Bearbeitung der gregorianischen Vorlagen erfreute sich seinerzeit großer Beliebtheit. Die Petite Chanson grégorienne op. 60 zeugt einmal mehr von der lebenslangen Verbundenheit d'Indys zur gregorianischen Musik. Diese aparte Miniatur erschien in der Originalbesetzung für Klavier zu vier Händen im Album pour Enfants petits et grands. Receuil de Pièces de piano, à 2 et 4 ms, composée par un group des musiciens de la Schola Cantorum (1904/1905). Das Prélude op. 66 erschien erstmals 1911 in einer Fassung für Orgel oder Harmonium im ersten Band der von Joseph Joubert (1878-1963) herausgegebenen Les Maîtres contemporains de l'Orgue Die Orgelfassung erschien 1913 bei Durand (Paris).

Loui s Vierne komponierte seine Orchestersymphonie im Sommer 1907 in Juziers. Wie kaum ein zweites Werk zeugt sie von den Schicksalsschlägen des Komponisten: Von Geburt an fast blind musste Vierne nicht nur die Trennung von seiner Frau, sondern auch die Folgen eines schweren Verkehrsunfalles verarbeiten. Der erste Satz zählt mit seinen 600 Takten zu den längsten Sonatenhauptsatzformen, die Vierne jemals schrieb. Das Lamento ist eine der berührendsten musikalischen Äußerungen des Komponisten. Das Scherzo - ein wenig an den Zauberlehrling von Paul Dukas erinnernd - präsentiert sich am Schluss als poesievolles Fugato mit Anklängen an das Hauptthema des Finales. Das Finale wirkt in seinem Optimismus wie ein neuerliches Hinwenden zum Leben - trotz allem. (Thomas Schmögner).

Jan Rybarskis Fantasia for Organ is a work of a great emotional impact. Its romantic dramaturgy leads the listener into the state of deep reflections. The work is monumental; its structure resembles a one-part sonata with a fugue in the middle fragment. The arrangement requires organs with minimum 16-18 voices in two manuals. Despite fast passages and at times complicated harmony that require a lot of practice, the work is played with comfort. The author, as an organist-practitioner, uses difficult technical elements that he controls in a perfect manner. The proportion of the traditional and modern harmonics is ideal, which means it perfectly corresponds to the dramaturgy of the work. The main formative element is the rhythm that - as the author claims himself - inspires, opens both the performer and the listener to the experience. The structure of the Fantasia brings connotations to the course of a human life, with a film story that apparently is different for everyone, but conveys one truth common to all people: in order to overcome difficulties, you need to trust God.

Georgi Mushel's Toccata, edited for publication by Noel Rawsthorne, is very much in the spirit and style of a Ukrainian Cossack dance; the feel is improvisatory, with contrasting sections allowing different dancers to express themselves, before typically culminating in a fast and furious finish.

Written for upper-advanced organ players, Three Preludes and Fugues is a work by Marcel Dupre. Dedicated to Rene Vierne, this Op. 7 uses complex figurations and pedals. With such challenging difficulty, the first and third preludes were pronounced?unplayable by Charles-Marie Widor due to their fast tempo, their figurations and the pedal chords. For a long time, Dupre himself was the only one able to play them. Marcel Dupre is a French organist who reviewed some works by J. S. Bach, including The little Organ Book. He composed numerous pieces such as Lamento, Scherzo and Titelooze Tombstone, among others.

Trilogy on B-A-C-H (2017) uses as its musical material a familiar four-note theme: the letters B-A-C-H (the last name of Johann Sebastian Bach) treated as a musical motive: B-flat, A, C, B-natural (H in German note naming). Starting with Bach himself, this theme has been used by a truly enormous number of composers over the centuries. Most B-A-C-H themed works (at least those for organ), tend to be extremely contrapuntal, likely taking their cue from much of Bach's own organ music. This piece explicitly goes in the other direction and use the theme primarily motivically/melodically and as a generating force for the kind of mixed modality that is typical of Cooman's music. The first movement is an energetic march. The second movement is a lyric meditation containing both an arioso and a short quasi-passacaglia, in which the B-A-C-H motive repeats slowly in the pedals. The last movement is a free fantasia: the motive appears both in chorale-like long notes and as a fast, turning figure.

The Blue Rose Variations is one of several works in which the composer has drawn on ragtime and blues. The organ work is based on two transformations of the popular piano piece To A Wild Rose (Woodland Sketches, Op.51 No.1) by the American composer, Edward MacDowell (1860-1908). During the course of the Variations, To A Wild Rose appears as a blues and also as a classical rag, often as both together. The sections are Theme: a quiet blues; Variation I: a pedal solo in varied metres based on the blues in fast tempo; Variation II: the first appearance of the rag as a background to the blues as a 2' pedal solo; Variation III: a version of Variation I now involving manuals too; Variation IV: another blues solo against the rag; Variation V: another version of Variation I with the pedal solo almost entirely transferred to the manuals; Variation VI: a final confrontation between the blues and the rag, now much decorated. First performed in New York in April 1986. Duration c.15 mins.

“Comp osed by Marcel Dupré, Evocation is to be considered as ?Symphonic poem? for Organ. Dedicated to Albert Dupré, his father and also organist in Rouen, this piece requires a good knowledge of the instrument, using ?voix celestes? and ?bourdons? and some really advanced skills. This majestic piece is really fast and is divided into three distinct sections: I. Moderato, II. Adagio con tenerezza, III. Allegro Deciso. It is is an amazing piece to play for recitals, or contests and will delight the audience. Marcel Dupré (1186-1971) is also well-known for his review of the Organ work by J.S Bach.”.

Antt i Auvinen (b. 1974) composed Singel Excelsis in 2012 using material from an earlier work for three organs. He finds fascinating the rhythmic characteristics of the organ: Many of the vibrations and rhythmic fluctuations derived from the overtone series are extremely interesting. Also the natural virtuosity of the instrument is utterly fascinating. In fast passages the rhythmic accuracy needs very quick attack. A slower attack on the other hand makes it possible to turn the attention to gestures and figures, while details get more blurred. Different “attack features of the organ stops allow shaping of very diverse rhythmic figures in time and space.

Ein ganz anderer (neuer?) Baur keine Bindung an einen cantus firmus, keine barocke Form stattdessen vier suitenartig, in lockerer Form aneinander gereihte Satze. Schon die Uberschriften deuten auf Neues; der Gesamt-Titel: Kaleidoskop die einzelnen Teile: Sisyphus, Spiegelung, Artisten, Marionetten; spielerisch frei entworfene Stucke, heiter, besinnlich, humorvoll. 1. Satz: Zwei thematische Bewegungen charakterisieren den Ablauf des Sisyphus eine durch Pausen unterbrochene einstimmige Rollfigur wechselt standig mit einem stereotypen Funfton-Ostinato einem Motiv, das in vielfacher Veranderung wiederkehrt und schliesslich girlandenformig in die Tiefe fallt, symbolisch fur das vergebliche Bemuhen der altgriechischen Sagengestalt. Das zweite Stuck, Spiegelungen, wird ein- und ausgeleitet durch einen melancholischen Gedanken; dieser mundet in einer Gruppe von statischen, streng imitierten, ineinander geschobenen Spiegelklangen. Eine bewegte Figur fuhrt zu einer 5/8-Periode, bei der die Oberstimme um funf Tone kreist; am Ende steht wieder die Spiegelklang-Episode, auf einem Einzelton verloschend: das Ganze ein ruhiges, fast aleatorisch wirkendes Intermezzo. 3. Satz: Eine virtuose Studie mit kreisenden Rastelli-Tongruppen, dodekaphonisch geordneten Quintolen, begleitet von rhythmisch gegenlaufigen Klangimpulsen, immer wieder unterbrochen von rezitativischen Pedal-Bass-Soli. Zum Ende, kraftvolle Zusammenballung aller thematischen Elemente eine artistische Toccata, gipfelnd in dissonanten Klangturmen. Das Finale: Marionetten, eine funfteilige Bruckenform ABCBA. Der Satz fugt sich aus drei thematischen Abschnitten zusammen; der erste: eine abwarts gerichtete Zwolfton-Melodie, in ein Klangfeld mundend, das sich zum vielschichtigen Akkord weitet; der zweite: ein verhulltes Menuett mit funftonigem Bass-Ostinato und marionettenhaft gezirkelten Bewegungen in Melodie und Begleitung; der dritte: ein in streng serieller Manier durchgefuhrter Abschnitt mit spiegel- und krebsformigen Entsprechungen. Formteil B und A schliessen sich als variierte Reprise an. Die Coda wird gebildet von dreifach geschichtetem Trillerfeld, der Zwolfton-Melodie des Anfangs und einer Kadenz mit drei Akkorden in tiefer Lage: ein stiller Ausklang des Kaleidoskops.

ISBN 9790007187552.

John Stanley's 30 Voluntaries - published in three collections as op. 5, 6, and 7 - are amongst the best-known organ works of the 18th century. These compositions in free style were met with great acclaim by his contemporaries. The first volume, published in 1748, immediately achieved classic status and encouraged other composers to write similar collections. The op. 5 collection is now published in an up-to-date Urtext edition by Carus, based on the first printed edition and a 1785 edition consulted for comparison. The pieces, of easy to medium difficulty, are for manuals (and can alternatively also be played on the harpsichord), and mainly comprise two movements in the sequence slow - fast. Rhythmic energy, richness of color through the use of solo registers such as cornet and trumpet, dialog between the manuals with multiple echo effects - these are the characteristics of these wonderful compositions, which are also suitable for use in worship.

Symphony for Organ (2013) is cast as a dramatic progression from darkness into light. The first movement, Masque, is extremely violent and bleak. The title is used with a touch of irony--for this is not a masque of courtly diversion, but rather a furious struggle against the darkness, played out in a series of dramatic episodes following a Tudor-era formal design. The ending builds to a dramatic peak, and leaves us in shell-shocked silence. The second movement, Sarabande, begins quietly and mournfully, and gradually gains in fervency. A faster middle section is a spinning dance before the return of the opening music. In the coda, the light gradually approaches. The third movement, Chorale, evokes the colors of a new dawn. The music of the first movement's struggle gradually becomes washed in the blaze of morning. Instrumentation: Organ Duration: 21' Composed: 2013 Published by: Zimbel Press.
