ISBN 9790006569588. 24 x 30.2 cm inches.

The composition “Silberklängeâ� �� was commissioned for the 2020 International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig.

The composer noted: “During my first visit to the Georgenkirche in Rötha, I was impressed by the immensely vibrant and noble sounds of the historic Silbermann organ (1721), the endless variety of possible timbre combinations, the stellar acoustics of the church, and the historic atmosphere, which shaped and tamed my musical thoughts, transporting me into my very own ‘baroque’ world.”

This edition contains registration marks that reflect the soundscape the composer intended to achieve with this particular organ. Performing the work on an organ with different registration possibilities will open up a new spectrum of possible timbres.

Pedal s only and Large Tam-Tam. The Kraken is a work for organ pedals with the player also playing a large tam-tam (or the player could also be joined by a percussionist.) It is based upon the poem by the same name by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892.) The Kraken is a mythical Norse sea monster. The opening lines of the poem give the setting for the music, which starts on the lowest possible pitches and works upward to a frenzy in both instruments: Below the thunders of the upper deep, Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth.

The three movements that make up Nocturnes, Book I are programmatic pieces that take as their points of departure a painting, the rhythms of a great city, and a poem. 1. The Starry Night is a written down improvisation based on Vincent van Goghs famous picture of the same name. The tonal material is a quite literal transformation of the visual elements of the painting: the melismatic cadenzas mirror van Goghs swirling starlight, and the powerful chords were suggested by the sinister trees that shoot upward to puncture the skys patterns. 2. Stovers Rag is a product of the ragtime revival of the early 1970s, when many composers tried their hand at writing concert rags. The New York night, which was not without its sinister element in those days, is expressed in an updating of the classic ragtime format. The piece looks backward as well, with the old French Baroque basse de trompette making an appearance in the trio section. 3. The Song of Shadows taps the nostalgic mood typical of the poetry of Walter de la Mare. The poem of the same name pictures a lone musician on a winter night, an dog sleeping before a sinking fire, and, at the end, the spirits that are summoned by music. The opening melody, played on an 8 flute with tremulant, suggests the blues-tinged sound of an alto saxophone, and throughout the movement the organs capacity for sustained tone is used to suggest and atmosphere of dreamy timelessness. The pieces were written in 1971 and first performed on July 2, 1972 at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, with the composer at the console.

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Hans Grischkat. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Praise and thanks. Study score. Composed 1728/1731. BWV 117. 52 pages. Duration 26 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.117/07. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3111707).

The cantata Sei Lob und Ehr dem hochsten Gut (All glory to the Lord of Lords) BWV 117 is one of a small group of Bach's chorale cantatas which use exclusively the text of the chorale, including in the three recitatives and three arias. Only the autograph score of the cantata survives; although this enables an approximate dating to be made (c. 1730), it does not give the occasion for which the cantata was written. The choice of chorale may indicate it was composed for a wedding. Recently it has been suggested that the occasion for its composition was the birthday of the Duke of Weissenfels in 1731; but there is no firm evidence to support either theory. The cantata opens with an extended movement for chorus in which Bach contrasts the concertante orchestra with festive, almost homophonic choral writing. This chorus movement is repeated at the end. A simple chorale movement which comes fourth indicates that the nine-movement cantata was performed in two sections. Score available separately - see item CA.3111700.

Organ transcription of Anthony Payne's 2006 orchestral completion from Elgar's sketches. Robert Gower comments, Working from the orchestral score confirms Payne's musical intuition in taking fragments and developing them into an entirely convincing whole, one imbued with Elgarian spirit and characterised through the economical precision of his own art. Here, intellectual and artistic integrity combine to construct overall architecture in which not a note is wasted, painstaking care is evident in the subtle details of instrumental coloring, and where there is thrilling rhythmic forward propulsion. In saluting the skills of both composers, I have sought to open out for organists the excitement and sincerity of their work, being designed for performance not only on larger organs with a full range of orchestral color, but also made entirely feasible for performance on smaller two-manual instruments..

UPC: 688670121111.

Of Things Hoped For begins with a modest arching phrase, supported by a descending pedal line. The ensuing meditation develops a new melismatic idea along with toccata elements, leading to a grand statement. A dance follows, based on the melisma, which stretches and flips the material. The little bass line from the opening re-asserts itself as a soprano tune, first in a quiet B-major episode, then triumphantly and in D major in the trumpet. Thomas was commissioned to write this work by Marilyn Biery in honor of James Biery's birthday in 2001; it was premiered by James in May, 2001, at the Cathedral of St. Paul in St. Paul, MN.

The Rottenburg Toccata develops the choral melody of 'Sankt Martin, dir ist anvertraut' in the virtuosic style of french romantic toccatas. The work is articulated in three sections with contrasted textures: opening variation of the melody with sextuplet figurations, middle variation with a peasant rhythmicalcharacter in the minor mode and conclusion presenting the choral melody on the pedal.

Written for the magnificent organ of Saint Sulpice in Paris, this virtuosic work is both explorative and passionate. Watkins utilises the full tessitural and dynamic range of the instrument to create a work that is at times tentative and at others fantastically, openly declamatory.
