Par GUILLOU JEAN. As its title indcates, this is a miniature symphony, its structure compacted as much as possible. The classical form is respected, dwon to the smallest details, so that the various development sections lead to a recapitulation of the two themes and to a more asservative conclusion. Throughout the work the style is extremely sparse and straightforward. The nostalgia expressed by the theme of the second movement leads us towards effects of perspective that modify the light thrown on the melody, at first distand and soon more insistent, more dominant, before dying away in the gentle mist. The third movement is somewhat facetious and sly. Despite its brilliantly luminous progress, the ending is nostalgic, whimsical and, once more, humorous./ Répertoire / Orgue

Three Pieces. Par KIRCHNER VOLKER DAVID. These three effective pieces become successively more difficult as the composition changes from a meditative to an eruptive approach. The organist familiar with contemporary ‘soundscapes’ will find them a rewarding and interesting challenge./ Répertoire / Orgue

This School of Organ Playing presupposes a certain technical facility on the piano. The pedal exercises at the beginning are rudimentary and should be practiced in all keys, gradually accelerating the tempo. The studies are graded according to their polyphony, beginning with simple two part exercises, followed by those in three and more parts. This acquaintance with the strict principles of polyphonic music, and the introduction to effective part writing, with a knowledge of harmonic form and architectonic values, provide the essential background for the correct performance of polyphonic music, especialle the fugue. The most important musical forms have been used to illustrate the various possibilites of registration and its relationship to style (colourful, individualistic and smooth playing). The studies are so arranged that earlier technical points, etc. are constantly reviewed, through comparison of style and form, in order to fix, or refreshen, the ideas in the student's mind. It is very important that the evolution of organ music from vocal music should be made clear to the student the very beginning, both musically and intellectually. He will be shown the technical evolution of organ music during the centuries and thus prepared for an artistic execution and interpretation of old and new words, especially for the incomparable art of our great Johann Sebastian Bach.

Par GENZMER HARALD. Harald Genzmer, born in 1909, was one of the most significant organ composers of the twentieth Century. He found his own way of writing perfectly structured music that is rewarding to play, with free tonality and contemporary harmonies. The Concerto has three movements: Toccata – Meditation – Vivace; it was written at the suggestion of Genzmer’s colleague at the Munich Conservatoire, Franz Lehrndorfer, who gave the work its first performance in Munich Cathedral. An effective piece for concerts and competitions and a complement to the contemplative chorale partita “Where art thou, Comfort of the World” published in 2001 (ED 9201)./ Répertoire / Orgue

Par MCDOWALL CECILIA. This inventive work, composed in 2019, owes its title to that year's two great anniversaries connected to manned flight: the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing and the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci. A range of highly effective textures and atmospheric harmonies takes us on a journey towards a gloriously affirmative D major ending./ Répertoire / Orgue
