Hymn and Toccata

The Prelude Hymn And Toccata 1987 is dedicated to and was commissioned by the Nettle-Markham Piano Duo. It was the second work to have been written for them by the composer the first being the Sonata For Piano Duet Op.92. This twenty minute work begins with Leighton's typical preludial double-dotted rhythms and contrapuntal textures; it develops into dark passionate music and erupts into single and double cadenzas. The gentle Hymn is ushered in quietly and unfolds in long rhapsodic sections building up to more climactic cadenzas before dissolving gradually to an ethereal conclusion. The Toccata finale shows Leighton's masterly piano writing andcontrasts biting rhythmic motifs with sweeping yearning elegiac phrases.

Songs of Praise for Organ by television music composer Herbert Chappell was commissioned by the BBC in 1980 as the signature theme for the long running television programme of the same name and continued to be used until the late 1980s. This piece is lively toccata underpinned by a hymn-like melody and is suitable for organists of moderate abilities and may be used as a thrilling recital piece. 'I decided it should be a lively toccata; this I underpinned with a broad-shouldered hymn-like melody rather than a choral. It was recorded for television by Simon Preston at the organ of Christ Church Oxford and quickly became somethingif a favourite with organists all around the world (possibly because it sounds impressively virtuostic and makes a lot of noise but is not that difficult to play). For example it brought a spirited conclusion to the service that celebrated with a pack congregation the life of Dame Thora Hird for so many years the presenter of the programme on BBC television.'

L'édition officielle des partitions de l'album du même nom « Piano Songbook » chez Sony Classical. Elle contient des arrangements et des fantaisies sur des œuvres populaires, du baroque au romantisme, ainsi que des compositions originales de Martin Stadtfeld. Niveau de difficulté facile à intermédiaire - idéal pour les jeunes et ceux qui se remettent au piano.
« Les œuvres rassemblées dans ce volume m'ont accompagné toute ma vie. Dans des périodes difficiles, cette musique m'apporte du réconfort et de la certitude.
Les arrangements sont en partie libres et subjectifs, distillant ce qui est essentiel pour moi. La devise était : le moins de notes possible. C'est également ce que je revendique pour mes dix propres compositions dans la troisième partie. Ainsi, la plupart des pièces peuvent être jouées dans des cours de piano. Même ceux qui se remettent au piano après une longue période peuvent commencer avec ces pièces. Je souhaite que beaucoup de gens, lorsqu'ils les joueront, ressentent ce que j'ai ressenti lorsque j'ai écrit ce volume : contemplation, approfondissement, force intérieure. »

In nearly four decades as Master of the Music at York Minster Francis Jackson became a leading figure in the world of church music and one of the foremost organ recitalists of his generation. Born in the early years of radio broadcasting his ‘long while’ reaches into a tenth decade having given his last organ recital in 2012 just after his 95th birthday. He recalls his chorister days in the Minster under the redoutable Doctor Bairstow charts the early development of his musical skills and tastes during the 1920s and ’30s and as a young soldier on active service during the second World War and recounts the extraordinary sequence of eventsthat led to his appointment as successor to Bairstow. Jackson’s rich legacy of compositions continues to play a valued part in places of worship round the world. In this book his thoughts on the process of composition and the musical sensitivity needed in performance are revealed as the product of a lifetime’s experience; he has performed on probably more than 1000 organs on three continents. He relates the events that made Widor’s Toccata a popular choice at weddings and sent a hymn tune on its way round the world. Finally he provides an illuminating insight into the stresses politics and personalities behind daily life in one of Europe’s greatest cathedrals.

 En ce monde, c'est toujours ce qui nous échappe qui nous retient et nous fascine ! Il en va ainsi de l'orgue Cavaillé-Coll du château d'Ilbarritz côtoyant de si près la légende, avec son passage éphémère sur la Côte Basque et ce personnage énigmatique du baron de l'Epée, instigateur du projet, dont on n'a retrouvé aucun portrait,C'est donc une inspiration visionnaire qui a guidé ma plume dans ce temps de 1897 où Aristide Cavaillé-Coll venait d'installer l'orgue le plus moderne et le plus grand jamais réalisé pour un particulier, Un véritable testament de fabrique ! Quand l'on songe à Albert de l'Espée, on imagine aisément le délice qui devait être le sien à demeurer seul dans ce château, juché sur son promontoire entre ciel et terre devant l'océan déchaîné,,,C'est, après tout, le rêve de tout un chacun de goûter à une part d'éternité, sans contrainte et sans masque, en toute sincérité !L'ensemble de l'oeuvre est une louange à la beauté de la création, en quelque sorte une forme d'hymne,L'idée conductrice du premier recueil pourrait être attribuée au tumulte de l'océan, agrémenté des vents frénétiques du littoral, Il comprend : - une fantaisie en sol mineur - une toccata en mi mineur - et une rapsodie en ut mineur,L'idée conductrice du second recueil pourrait aussi illustrer l'impression vrombissante de cet orgue ' légendaire ' dont on percevait l'écho jusqu'au Domaine de Marbella, Il comprend : - une fantaisie en sol dièse mineur - une toccata en mi mineur - une toccata en ut mineur,Ainsi sont ces Impressions romanesques d'Ilbarritz où se mêlent Histoire, évasion et onirisme,,, - Litanies de la mer 09:00- Lumière jaillie du granit 04:30- Rapsodie labourdine 08:00 / Orgue
