Ajoutée par magataganm, 17 Janv 2013 G. F. Haedel's organ concerto #13 is typical for an instrumental concerto for a pipe organ soloist with an orchestra. The form first evolves in the 18th century, when composers including George Frideric Handel, Antonio Vivaldi and Johann Sebastian Bach wrote organ concertos with small orchestras, and with solo parts which rarely call for the organ pedal board. A few Classical and Romantic works are extant. Finally, there are some 20th- and 21st-century examples, of which the concerto by Francis Poulenc has entered the repertoire, and is quite frequently played. Organ Concerto #13 is unique in that the bird Sound motives of this Concerto (HWV 295) earned it the common name, "The Cuckoo and the Nightingale". Although originally written for Organ & Small Orchestra, I created this arrangement for Flute & Concert (Pedal) Harp to emphasize the avian interplay. |
