Complete theoretical and practical method for organ-playing in three parts. Par PEETERS FLOR. Flor Peeters, born in Belgium in 1903, is one of the most important organists and organ composers of the 20th century. After completing his studies at the famous Lemmens Institute in Mechelen, he worked there as a teacher of organ and improvisation before becoming professor at and director of the Royal Flemish Conservatoire of Antwerp. Until his death in 1986, Peeters gave concerts all around the world, held numerous master classes and received several awards and prizes for his achievements as a composer, organist and teacher. In his successful three-volume educational work 'Ars Organi', Peeters combines theoretical knowledge and practical exercises on all aspects of organ playing, starting with basic information on the instrument, manual and pedal exercises and two-part manual and pedal playing. While Vol. 2 contains exercises on three-part playing, Vol. 3 contains exercises on four and five-part playing as well as studies on demanding trio playing. Each learning stage is accompanied by pedal exercises and tips on articulation, touch, interpretation, registration and organ specifications - a valuable compendium for every organist. / Méthode / Date parution : 1954-11-20/ Méthode / Orgue

Par LACOTE THOMAS. A l'origine de Phteggomai se trouve un émerveillement : celui d'écouter la propagation d'un son projeté dans l'espace de la cathédrale de Chartres. Il y a là une expérience qui dépasse le simple plaisir acoustique ou esthétique, pour atteindre une émotion presque surhumaine, tant l'écoute, tout autant et même plus que la vue, nous permet de saisir, et d'être saisi par, les dimensions et la force transcendante de l'édifice. En grec ancien, le verbe 'phteggomai' (f?????µa?) signifie proférer, se faire entendre, proclamer à pleine voix. Ainsi le centre de gravité de l'orgue dans cette pièce est un jeu de cornet, plein et sonore, qui rebondit et se diffracte dans l'acoustique, s'anime, tourbillonne, et se métamorphosera peu à peu en une masse colossale qui semble atteindre les dimensions même de la cathédrale. La trajectoire de la pièce n'a rien cependant d'une trop évidente ligne droite : elle est aussi faite de nombreuses brisures, d'hésitations, de parenthèses. Au halo prolongeant les sons, créé par le lieu et par une forme de 'persistance rétinienne' de l'oreille, je mêle de multiples traînes inventées, comme des queues de comètes imaginaires. C'est la même racine grecque qui est utilisée dans un verset fort mystérieux d'un psaume (Psaume 18, verset 5), évoquant la manière dont les cieux pourraient chanter la gloire de leur Créateur, jusqu'aux limites du monde. Pour les bâtisseurs des cathédrales, celles-ci n'étaient bien sûr pas seulement des temples de pierre : elles étaient aussi l'image même du cosmos. Ainsi, j'ai placé en tête de la partition de Phteggomai l'audacieuse traduction de ce même verset biblique qu'a donnée Paul Claudel : 'J'entends un son qui va jusqu'au bout, une parole jusqu'aux parois de l'univers pour la répercuter.' Phteggomai est une commande de l'Association des Grandes Orgues de Chartres, pour la finale du Grand Prix d'interprétation. Elle est dédiée à Philippe Lefebvre et Patrick Delabre. / Contemporain / Répertoire / Orgue

The organ part and reduced score Symphony No. 4 - An Organ Symphony (2008) by Poul Ruders. Full score: WH31186 Orch. parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk Preface / Programme Note When introducing a large-scale symphonic work not only as a symphony but as an organ symphony it would be impossible not to think of and perhaps compare it with Camille Saint-Saëns’s famous SYMPHONY NO. 3 popularly known as the Organ Symphony. Well that is a risk I am prepared to take – and live with the consequences.Saint-Saëns however listed his work as a symphony avec/withorgan. The organ only appears in two out of the four sections of thepiece. In my symphony the instrument plays a far more significant part and is featured in all four movements. But it is not a concerto for organ and orchestra rather a symphony with organo obligato - a symphony with an organ part of a soloistic nature. So an Organ Symphony it is. The first movement PRELUDE is exactly that: a foreplay to what is in store for the rest of the symphony. It is slow (very slow!) and predominantly hushed: the organ and the orchestra wake up side-by-side getting to know one another.The second movement CORTÈGE is a slowly moving processional and it evokes extreme solemnity and austerity. Later on the music takes flight and the atmosphere lightens considerably a far more playful music emerging.This leads to the third movement ETUDE an exercise in instrumental virtuosity and technical challenge.The fourth and last movement is called CHACONNE but I could just as well have named it passacaglia (the definition of those two terms seems to blur even among the learned). Bearing in mind the last movement of Johannes Brahms´s SYMPHONY NO.4 which is universally agreed on as being a passacaglia I chose to avoid the Wrath of the Gods and opted for

This edition of the Organ Book by Nicolas de Grigny was edited by C. L. Koehlhoeffer. Featuring 43 pieces this book uses pedals and other techniques that would be known by advanced players. The scores of the Organ Book were first published in 1699 under another name before being republished under this name in 1711. J. S. Bach corrected these initial editions and his corrections are still taken into account in this book. Organ Book is a good representation of the Organ music of the Louis XIV period. Nicolas de Grigny was a French organist living in the areaof Rheims where he was the main Cathedral organist.

Composer's Note: In writing these pieces I had in mind certain difficulties which worry most organists from time to time; and in order to combine as it were business with pleasure I thought it worthwhile to concentrate upon one aspect of organ technique in each piece even at the risk of making them a little more difficult than others in this series. In Procession the main difficulty lies in the pedals Arabesque on the other hand could hardly have had a simpler pedal part: its object is to exercise the left hand in producing a smooth running semi-quaver pattern Pageant with its cross-rhythms is designed to produce well-disciplinedhands and feet that can when required work in conflicting rhythms. I have kept the registration schemes as simple and straightforward as possible.

Organist and composer A.Herbert Brewer?s swaggering Marche Héro que became famous at the funeral service of Earl Mountbatten of Burma in 1979 and has remained popular since then.Organ virtuoso and composer Edwin Lemare was the world?s highest-paid Organist at the height of his career in the early 1900?s drawing bravos from ctritics and the crowds who queued around the block to hear this most famous of Organists. His Grand Cortège is Orchestral even Wagnerian in style with bold chromatic colourings.Frank Cordell?s Khartoum Fanfare and March features melodic British military themes and was a part of the film?s soundtrack.John Addison's Charge of the Light Brigade also fromthe film develops its military themes with élan.March for ?The Phoebe? was written by Percy Whitlock in honour of a naval cruiser launches in 1939 which was adopted by the Country Borough of Bournemouth where the composer was Municipal Organist.John Ireland?s Epic March was originally written for Orchestra in response to a BBC commission for a patriotic march. It is here transcribed for Organ.

Instrument : organ Nombre de Pages : 62 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.

D?une difficulté technique moyenne, les pièces contenues dans ce recueil commencent généralement par une harmonisation originale d?un noël donné (et qui peut donc servir d?accompagnement au chant des fidèles), suivi de plusieurs variations assez courtes.

Ecrites par cinq personnalités importantes du monde de l?orgue, et parfaitement adaptées à la liturgie du temps de Noël, elles sont ainsi un outil incontournable pour tous les organistes, en même temps qu?elles trouvent pleinement leur place au concert.

Comme c?est l?usage, les organistes adapteront au mieux les registrations indiquées à l?instrument joué et à l?acoustique du lieu. / Célébrations / Partition / Agrafé / Laprida, Andrès / Lebrun, Eric / Kasparov?, Youri / Bret, Julien / Curror, Ian /

Beaucoup de chants populaires de Bretagne, de Provence ou d'autres contrées de France ont été remarqués par d'éminents compositeurs qui en ont fait de charmantes et délicieuses paraphrases, comme Jean LANGLAIS, avec ses huit chants de Bretagne, ou Jean BOUVARD, avec ses variations exquises sur les Noëls des provinces, À l'instar de ces auteurs, je voulais, à mon tour, faire découvrir le patrimoine des chants religieux basques et, en particulier, ceux d'entre eux qui possèdent une si singulière couleur, dans des tons mineurs,Ces mélodies s'enracinent dans mes souvenirs d'enfance à Saint-Jean-Pied-du-Port (Basse-Navarre) où je tenais, à l'âge de quinze ans, l'orgue de l'église Notre-Dame,Le cantique 'Orriako Ama' (Mère de Roncevaux) constitue la source d'inspiration de cette Toccata, Il rappelle la position stratégique du monastère de Roncevaux sur les chemins menant à St-Jacques-de-Compostelle et son rayonnement européen, Combien de pèlerins ont-ils dû se recueillir dans sa collégiale, sous le regard bienveillant de la magnifique vierge gothique ? / Orgue
