The Blue Rose Variations is one of several works in which the composer has drawn on ragtime and blues. The organ work is based on two transformations of the popular piano piece To A Wild Rose (Woodland Sketches, Op.51 No.1) by the American composer, Edward MacDowell (1860-1908). During the course of the Variations, To A Wild Rose appears as a blues and also as a classical rag, often as both together. The sections are Theme: a quiet blues; Variation I: a pedal solo in varied metres based on the blues in fast tempo; Variation II: the first appearance of the rag as a background to the blues as a 2' pedal solo; Variation III: a version of Variation I now involving manuals too; Variation IV: another blues solo against the rag; Variation V: another version of Variation I with the pedal solo almost entirely transferred to the manuals; Variation VI: a final confrontation between the blues and the rag, now much decorated. First performed in New York in April 1986. Duration c.15 mins.

Auf die Entwicklung der französischen Musik gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhundert übte Vincent d'Indy ähnlich großen Einfluss aus wie sein Zeitgenosse Charles-Marie Widor: kompositorisch in fast allen musikalischen Genres präsent, hat er ein ebenso umfassendes wie bedeutendes symphonisches ouvre hinterlassen, in dem freilich das Orgelwerk des zeitweiligen Organisten (in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt) und Mitbegründers der Schola Cantorum bemerkenswert überschaubar bleibt.Alle genuin für die Orgel komponierten Werke eignet ihnen ein ausgesprochen kontemplativer, religiös inspirierter und nobler Gestus, dem jeder exaltierte Selbstdarstellungsgestus fremd ist. Strenge und filigrane Satztechnik stehen ganz im Dienst der musikalischen Aussage. Prélude et petit Canon op. 38 entstand 1893. Das Thema prägt zusammen mit seinem Kontrapunkt sowohl das Prélude wie den Kanon, erscheint in der Reprise in der Umkehrung, bevor die aparte Komposition mit dem Kanon endet. Die Vêpres du Commun des Saints op. 51 komponierte d'Indy 1899; sie erschienen erstmals 1907 im Eigenverlag der Schola Cantorum. Die Bearbeitung der gregorianischen Vorlagen erfreute sich seinerzeit großer Beliebtheit. Die Petite Chanson grégorienne op. 60 zeugt einmal mehr von der lebenslangen Verbundenheit d'Indys zur gregorianischen Musik. Diese aparte Miniatur erschien in der Originalbesetzung für Klavier zu vier Händen im Album pour Enfants petits et grands. Receuil de Pièces de piano, à 2 et 4 ms, composée par un group des musiciens de la Schola Cantorum (1904/1905). Das Prélude op. 66 erschien erstmals 1911 in einer Fassung für Orgel oder Harmonium im ersten Band der von Joseph Joubert (1878-1963) herausgegebenen Les Maîtres contemporains de l'Orgue Die Orgelfassung erschien 1913 bei Durand (Paris). (Otto Depenheuer).
