Written as a nocturne Evening Rest is a single-movement work for Organ in lyric style with a charming melody. Because of the range of the instrument for which it was composed Hollins includes alternate voicing for Organs without carillon parts for which are included throughout the work.English Organist and composer Alfred Hollins was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Blind from birth Hollins was fortunate enough to attend the innovative Royal Normal College for the Blind outside London whose music-intensive curriculum suited his musical gifts. For more than forty years he was the Organist at the Free St George’s Church in Edinburgh and he travelledthe English-speaking world repeatedly on concert tours.

This beautiful melody comes from Shostakovich's oratorio Song of the Forest. The lovely adagio melody has been expertly arranged for organ by Bryan Hesford.

For this Organ concluding voluntary Hugh Blair choose two carols that sound authentically old and one A Virgin Unspotted which dates from the 17th century. The short piece includes a delightful reworking of God Rest You Merry Gentlemen and a gently rocking Good King Wenceslas in 6/8. Hugh Blair was an English Organist conductor and composer of some perspicacity. Elgar’s cantata The Black Knight is dedicated to Blair who conducted its first performance in 1893 during the time when Elgar was gradually building his reputation through the Midlands Choral festivals. He also asked the composer to write an Organ voluntary to whichElgar responded with his first Organ Sonata. Blair is best known for his Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis which are still performed.

Belgian Organist composer Organ reformer and teacher Guy Weitz was born in Verviers and studied in Paris but fled to London in 1914 at the outbreak of war where he lived the rest of his life. A brilliantly accomplished and respected Organist he was personal Organist to the Archbishop of Westminster and for fifty years was the Organist at the Farm Street Church in Mayfair London.By most accounts he was tricky irascible person who wrote demanding post-Romantic music mostly in the French style including two symphonies for Organ. In Paradisum is one of his lesser-known works beginning in C minor with a series of rising motifs to arrive at a tranquil middle interludescored entirely in the bass clef and ending with an untimed bar of pianissimo echo viole and voix celeste figures before returnting to tempo primo and Orchestral textures. It is a piece that requires some application to get to the heart of perhaps not unlike the composer.

Prelude 'Whence is that goodly fragrance?' and Caprice 'God Rest ye merry gentleman'.

Freie Orgelwerke - BuxWV 136-153, 158. Par BUXTEHUDE DIETERICH. This edition is the result of Harald Vogel?s many years of practice as an organist and musicologist. The music text is based on a reevaluation of 17 th - and 18 th -century manuscripts containing the free organ and keyboard works by Buxtehude. They originated during a transitional phase between the traditional letter tablature and the staff notation still in use today. Since many works have survived only in transcriptions for staff notation, the editor was confronted with a high error rate, which he carefully analyzes in the ?Einzelanmerkungen?. During the preparation of the edition, the editor always kept sight of the performance practice, but still, the image of the sources is never distorted (e. g. by superfluous rests, beaming not conforming to the sources and the unhistorical adjustment of time signatures) and stays very close to the compositional notation, the letter tablature. The flexible use of three staves and the differentiated distribution of the voices on the staves allow for an approximation in reading conventions of historical notation with its resulting information about hand division. Grouping the free organ repertoire into works with obbligato pedal and works for manuals, this edition is organized in two volumes. The first subvolume (I/1, EB 9304) contains the Preface and the Preludes, whereas the second subvolume (I/2, EB 9305) contains Toccatas, Ostinato works, alternative versions and a comprehensive Critical Commentary (in German only). Volume II (EB 9306) contains Buxtehude?s free organ and keyboard works (manualiter) with the corresponding texts (Preface and Critical Commentary). Until 1971, Harald Vogel worked on a dissertation (with Georg von Dadelsen, Hamburg) on ?Die Fuge um Bach?. Besides the description of the ?inclusion? of triple measures into the C notation and the irregularities of the ?voice mutation? in the polyphonic structures, this also included a discussion about the justification of the ?inner textual criticism?. With the inner textual criticism, deviations in parallel passages are unified. The North German fugue style, reaching a peak in Buxtehude?s work, is characterized by a constant diversity of details in subject and polyphonic progressions. One of the ?indicators of the fantastic style? is the dissolution of the polyphonic structures at the ends of the fugues, evident in Buxtehude?s work. In this edition, a musical text is presented that avoids the uniformity of detail not conforming to the sources. However, there are many examples of transcription and cursory errors, which are analyzed in a methodical systematic manner. About the editor: As an organist, professor, organ expert, and scholar, Harald Vogel has rendered outstanding services to the interpretation of early music and especially to historical performance practice concerning the organ for decades. He has received numerous awards, including an ECHO Klassik as Instrumentalist of the Year (2012), honorary doctorates from Luleå University of Technology (Sweden, 2008) and Oberlin College (USA, 2014), as well as the Buxtehude Prize of the City of Lübeck (2018). Harald Vogel is the author and editor of numerous scholarly publications and editions. Through his lifelong performance practice, he can look back on an extensive discography, including the complete recording of Buxtehude?s organ works, which he recorded in various locations with historical organ instruments of the North German organ building tradition in Scandinavia, North Germany and the Netherlands. / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Recueil / Orgue

Jonathan Harvey (1939-2012) was a British composer who studied at St Johns Cambridge and Princeton and who later taught at various universities and conservatoires across Europe and North America. His psychedelic work Laus Deo has become a brilliant showcase for 20th century Organ music. Commissioned by Simon Preston in 1969 it was supposedly inspired by a dream in which an angel played the main themes to him on an Organ: Harvey said he finished the piece within 12 hours of waking from the dream. It has since become known for its ear-piercing dissonances and exciting cluster chords.

These service preludes are well-written accessible melodious and very practical and provide excellent additional literature for church organists.Don Michael Dicie (b.1941)Don Michael Dicie has been fond of spirituals folk songs and plainsong since he began music lessons in elementary school in Birmingham Alabama. During his formal music training he developed his main musical interests of music theory and composition while studying with William Baxter and Hugh Thomas. From 1966 to 1972 he was the organist and choir director at the Cathedral of St. Paul Minnesota. From 1973 to 1994 Dicie taught reading and vocal music in Nashville public schoolsand from 1976 to 1994 was organist and choir director at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Franklin Tennessee. He then served as organist and Church Music Director at Trinity United Methodist Church Franklin Tennessee. In January 2005 Dicie returned to St. Paul's Episcopal Church where he is currently the organist and composer in residence.Contents:Westminster AbbeyAberystwythSlaneMiddlebury

Par LACOTE THOMAS. Ces trois pièces ont été composées entre 2012 et 2015 sur l'orgue Cavaillé-Coll/Beuchet-Debierre de l'église de la Trinité à Paris. Pour The Fifth Hammer et Etude de transparence, la présence de deux boîtes expressives est indispensable. Pour Quilisma, une seule boîte expressive est nécessaire. Dans le cas d'une exécution complète de ce deuxième cahier, Quilisma peut être partagée entre les deux interprètes : l'un prend alors la place de l'autre à la mesure 62. Pour ne pas surcharger la partition, seul un numéro de combinaison est noté sur la partition pour chaque changement de registration. Il renvoie à la table des combinaisons jointe en 'partie séparée' pour chaque pièce. The Fifth Hammer La partition est proposée dans deux versions. La première, pensée pour les ressources de l'orgue de la Trinité, utilise une palette étendue (notamment Quinte 22/3 au Grand-Orgue, Tierce et Piccolo au Positif, Tierce au Récit, jeu d'anche de 16' à chaque clavier). La seconde est une adaptation pour un orgue de dimensions plus restreintes (pas de Quinte 22/3 au Grand-Orgue, pas de Tierce au Récit, pas de jeu d'anche de 16' au Positif) à partir du modèle de l'orgue Rieger du Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP). Aux mesures 1 à 23, quel que soit la clavier sur lequel il joue, l'interprète placé à gauche manipule la boîte expressive du Positif, et celui à droite celle du Récit, selon la disposition habituelle. Durant cette section, on veillera à ouvrir et fermer très progressivement les boîtes expressives, avec un maximum d'amplitude et de précision. Quilisma Dans cette pièce, les passages notés avec une grande précision rythmique visent en premier lieu l'efficacité qualitative d'un phénomène sonore global : ils seront donc interprétés, comme le reste de la pièce, avec la souplesse nécessaire. Mes. 37 : Pour ne pas surcharger la partition, les liaisons ne sont pas notées. Lier toutes les notes communes entre les accords. Mes. 63 : Chaque son, joué initialement au Récit (sans cercle) ou au Positif (avec cercle), est tenu, jusqu'à son passage à l'autre clavier ou une croix. Aucune hauteur n'est jouée simultanément sur les deux claviers à la fois. Durant ce passage, on cherchera le maximum de legato et de continuité dans l'échange entre les deux claviers. Etude de transparence Durant toute la pièce, veiller à ouvrir et fermer très progressivement les boîtes expressives, avec un maximum d'amplitude et de précision. / Contemporain / Etude / Orgue

Franz Liszt composed his lyrical-meditative organ fantasia on the Ave Maria von Arcadelt in Rome in 1863. In contrast to his major virtuoso works this charming genre piece can even be easily played on smaller (double-manual) instruments even without swell-organ and reeds. The 'Liszt organ' at the village church of Denstedt near Weimar which was built by the Peternell brothers in 1859/60 and has survived in its original state may be used as an example. It did not become known until in 1927 that the Ave Maria attributed to Jakob Arcadelt (around 1505-1568) was a revised version by the composer Pierre-Louis-Philippe Dietsch (1808 1865) who used the melody of Arcadelt'schanson Nous voyons que les hommes which he then harmonized into his own Romantic four-part choral setting and to which he added the sacred text as a contrafactum. Our separate edition wants to make this rather 'poetic' yet quite easy-to-play organ work without any major technical difficulties accessible to a large circle of interested people.

Par AUVINEN ANTTI. Antti Auvinen (b. 1974) composed Singel Excelsis in 2012 using material from an earlier work for three organs. He finds fascinating the rhythmic characteristics of the organ: 'Many of the vibrations and rhythmic fluctuations derived from the overtone series are extremely interesting. Also the natural virtuosity of the instrument is utterly fascinating. In fast passages the rhythmic accuracy needs very quick attack. A slower attack on the other hand makes it possible to turn the attention to gestures and figures, while details get more blurred. Different ?attack features? of the organ stops allow shaping of very diverse rhythmic figures in time and space.'
