Arrangeur: Bryan Hesford. Par PURCELL HENRY. Purcell a composé ce thème brillant pour la musique de scène de la pièce Abdelazer ou la revanche du Maure (1693) d'Aphra Behn. Presque trois siècles plus tard, Benjamin Britten l'introduisit dans son oeuvre symphonique The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra (désignée souvent par son sous-titre Variation and Fugue sur un Thème de Purcell) une partition pour un film documentaire, sorte de visite guidée des instruments de l'orchestre. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Orgue

Par PURCELL HENRY. Henry Purcell had a marvelous natural ability for counterpoint, which was especially evident when combining pungent English counterpoint with expressive, flexible, and dramatic word settings. His Organ Music is no less a showcase for his melodic abilities and, in this edition, a feast of intelligent keyboard writing lies. This compilation contains six works plus an appendix by John Blow, including the Voluntary in D minor for double organ. / Rép Classique / Répertoire / Orgue

This is a marvellous collection of pieces by Henry Purcell newly arranged for the Organ by concert organist Martin Setchell. Purcell's music is perfectly suited to the Organ and a number of his pieces have long been popular with players. This volume brings together a range of well-known pieces - trumpet tunes the Rondeau from Abdelazer Dido's Lament and movements from The Fairy Queen - and combines these with a wonderful selection of lesser-known pieces from across Purcell's work. There are sprightly tunes and hornpipes from the stage works lovely reflective songs and airs and a wide range of dances and chaconnes. The result is a set of pieceswith wise and varied church and concert use perfectly accessible to intermediate players and making a valuable addition to any organist's repertoire. Martin Setchell is Associate Professor of Music University Organist and tutor in Organ at the University of Canterbury School Of Music New Zealand. He combines his university teaching and research career with a busy and international schedule of recitals and concerts as soloist accompanist and continuo player on Organ and Harpsichord.

Henry Purcell's 'Voluntary For Double Organ' has two stops. The opening is very intricate in a rhythmical sense as it mixes scotch snaps with dotted rhythms followed up with some very free and ornate music.

Cette suite de transcriptions propose des pièces au tempérament bien marqué, chacune d'elle étant un petit bijou en soi. L'extrême précision et fidélité des arrangements d'André Isoir les rend parfois difficile d'accès mais le résultat en est fraîcheur, spontanéité, virtuosité, musicalité. C'est là tout l'art de la transcription. A travers des oeuvres rares de Bach, Amner, Purcell, Haendel ou Mozart, les organistes trouveront un réel plaisir à jouer ces pièces sur un orgue d'esthétique française ou classique. / Orgue

Par BLOW JOHN. Selected from Musica Britannica Volume 69. Edited by Barry Cooper. This collection of sixteen pieces by John Blow (1649-1708), taken from the complete organ music published in Volume 69 of Musica Britannica, is an authoritative introduction to the work of the leading Restoration English composer of organ music. More organ music from this period is ascribed to Blow than to all his English contemporaries put together, including Henry Purcell. In compiling this anthology, the editor has incorporated both the best examples from the corpus, and those that were most popular in the composer's lifetime, while illustrating the variety of styles he used. Most of the pieces may be played ona single manual, but there are also 'double voluntaries' (for two manuals) and 'cornet voluntaries' (for two or three manuals). The collection includes advice on ornamentation and a comprehensive editorial note./ Répertoire / Orgue
