The
organ is the instrument
on which the young
Giacomo Puccini began his
career as a musician.
Through the rediscovery
of a considerable number
of hand-written pieces,
which he composed after
1870 as part of his
duties as organist in the
churches of Lucca,
several primary sources
are now available. These
give an insight into the
beginnings of his musical
activities which have
only been known about
from anecdotes from his
first biographers until
now. Puccini's organ
repertoire includes works
which were typical for
liturgical organ music at
that time: sonatas for
the main sections of the
mass, versets which were
substituted for Gregorian
chant, marches, which
were played after the
mass (exceptionally even
waltzes), and even a
pastorale for Christmas
time. This music was
written with the sound of
instruments made in
Tuscany in mind. These
have just one manual, a 8
foot Principale register
and a small pedalboard
always coupled to the
manual. In addition there
were several solo stops
divided into bass and
soprano.Puccini
contributed with
originality to the
renewal of Italian organ
practice, which began in
his day to discard its
operatic style in favor
of a style more suited to
the liturgy.

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.'.

St. Nicolas
Church in Leipzig: the
9th of October 1989 saw
the last great peace
prayer with the
Beatitudes, followed by
the momentous non-violent
peace demonstration. The
famous film composer
Enjott Schneider created
a touching monument to
the events of Leipzig by
setting the Beatitudes
from the Sermon on the
Mount to music.In his
motet for mixed choir,
string trio, bassoon and
organ, he captures the
extraordinary mood of
that day musically in
three movements (I In Not
- In time of need, II
Barmherzigkeit - Mercy,
III Hoffnung - Hope).The
demanding, yet impressive
choral work is perfect
for church services.

Confl
uence was commissioned by
the Organ Artist Series
of Pittsburgh in
celebration of its
twentieth anniversary in
1999. Christa Rakich gave
the premier at the
closing concert of the
season at Calvary
Episcopal Church by in
April of 1999. It has
been performed frequently
since that time. The
title was given to honor
the joining together or
confluence of the three
rivers of Pittsburgh: the
Allegheny, the
Monongalela, and the
Ohio. Confluence is a
curious hybrid related to
both the sonata and rondo
forms. It is of the ABABA
design with the final A
quite extended by
polyphonic games and a
very noisy and triumphant
epilogue. The first idea
is driving, rhythmic,
nervous and agitated. The
second is quiet, gentle
and pastoral, that slowly
moves in its mysterious
ways, closing with a
plaintive row of a dozen
different pitches. The
composer delights in the
challenge of making tone
rows as approachable and
sing-able as possible.
Both ideas make slightly
varied restatements. At
the end, fugal
exploitation of the first
idea is followed by that
row, entering with
stentorian grandeur in
full pedal, heralding the
triumphant close. This
row, like the month of
March is referred to
frequently as coming in
like a Iamb, going out
like a lion.

Fantasy-Variati
ons on Two Themes (2017)
for organ was written for
Heinrich Christensen in
celebration of his
significant 2017
birthday. The musical
material for the work
comprises two different
themes. The first is a
short melody by the
Danish composer Carl
Nielsen (1865-1931). (It
was a sketch originally
intended for inclusion
in, but ultimately left
out of, Nielsen's late
organ work 29 Little
Preludes.) This theme
represents Heinrich's
native Denmark. The
second theme is the
American folk-gospel hymn
Angel Band. This theme
represents Heinrich's
adopted American
homeland. It serves also
as a remembrance of our
dear mutual friend Harry
Lyn Huff (1952-2016), for
whom the tune was a
particular favorite. Both
these themes are
developed freely in a set
of alternating
fantasy-variations. The
opening variation begins
with a dramatic pedal
solo before quoting both
themes. The second
variation is a lyric
setting based on the
Nielsen melody. The third
is a jubilant hornpipe on
Angel Band. The fourth is
an aria on a
transformation of the
Nielsen melody. The fifth
is a gigue-toccata on
Angel Band. The sixth is
an atmospheric
contemplation: lush
chords in the manuals
move slowly and hint at
Angel Band while the
Nielsen melody is heard
for the first time in its
complete original form on
a high pedal stop. The
seventh and final
variation begins with a
brief evocation of the
harmonies of the late
Daniel Pinkham (a mentor
to both Heinrich and me)
before going on to return
dramatically and
jubilantly to the opening
music, bringing together
both themes again in a
bold conclusion.

The
fourth volume of the
section of the Reger
Edition devoted to his
organ works comprises, in
chronological order, the
chorale preludes composed
between October 1893 and
November 1914 in
Wiesbaden, Weiden,
Munich, Leipzig, and
Meiningen. The
composition of chorale
preludes accompanied
Reger throughout his
entire career, even
though they were composed
primarily in the years
from 1900 to 1902 and
1914 (Opus 135a). As
almost no other composer
at the turn of the
century, he dedicated
himself to the chorale
prelude, composing around
100 works in this genre.
Since January 2008, the
first scholarly, critical
edition of the works of
Max Reger (RWA) is being
produced at the
Max-Reger-Institute,
Karlsruhe. Its design as
a hybrid edition breaks
new ground in the methods
of editorial practice. It
comprises three areas of
Reger's compositional
output: Organ works,
Lieder and choruses and,
for the first time, Max
Reger's arrangements of
works by other composers.
To begin the series, the
first seven volumes have
been published and
contain the organ works,
which have been eagerly
awaited by many.

Please
note: this edition has
nothing to do with Arnold
Schonberg! The Schonberg
in question is a town
near Kronberg in
Germany's hilly Taunus
region. Around the turn
of the last century, the
organist Ludwig Sauer
(1861-1940) wanted to
have a new organ built at
his church there and came
up with a novel way to
finance it: he asked a
number of composers to
donate a musical piece.
He eventually obtained 36
(!) pieces which he
grouped together in the
Organ Album for the
Benefit of the New Organ
in Schonberg by L. Sauer
and had published in 1900
by Breitkopf & Hartel.
Deserving particular
mention is Max Reger's
popular Introduction and
Passacaglia in D minor,
which was printed for the
first time in that
collection and which no
doubt helped Sauer's
project make organ
history. The Schonberger
Orgelalbum contains both
free pieces and works
based on chorales. Thanks
to the brevity of the
pieces, the book is ideal
for use in teaching and
in the religious
service..

Beethoven
described his Missa
solemnis as his greatest
work several times, a
work which, coming from
the heart, was to touch
and move audiences. The
surviving sources enable
us to recognize how
intensively and how long
he worked on the
composition in order to
give what he felt was
adequate expression to
the text. In its length
and musical demands, the
Missa solemnis goes far
beyond typical liturgical
settings, and the
premiere took place, for
good reason, in a concert
hall. The chorus plays a
key structural role in
the work, and in the
process has to master
some extremely demanding
sections. The leading
Beethoven expert Ernst
Herttrich has produced an
Urtext edition based on
the available sources,
and reflecting the latest
state of scholarship.
