Par CABANILLES JUAN BAUTISTA. Joan Cabanilles was cathedral organist in Valencia and the towering figure in Spanish organ music of the late 17th century. His brilliant and diverse musical language, rooted in the traditional sounds of Spain, has not managed to reach a large audience outside the Iberian peninsula, although he is often called 'a musician of European stature”. The aim of this three-volume Urtext edition is to grant access to his most appealing works. To this end, all available sources in the libraries of Astorga, Barcelona, San Lorenzo de el Escoreal, Felanitx/Mallorca, Jaca and Montserrat have been examined and newly evaluated. If Cabanilles's oeuvre consists primarily of tientos, organ hymns and versets, the third and final volume contains three versos, three pasacalles, two galliards, two toccatas and such special forms as Paseos de tercer tono, Diferencias de Folías and a Jácara. „This is an excellent resource for organists interested in exploring this satisfying repertoire.' (Brian E. Harlow, Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians 1/2018)/ Répertoire / Orgue

Rakugo or ‘fallen words’ is a traditional form of Japanese entertainment performed by a lone seated storyteller (rakugoka) with very few props if any at all. The complications of each story its dramatic arc characterizations and plot turns are expressed using extremely minimal means relying on the verbal talents of the rakugoka to maintain interest. This idea is explored in this work for solo organ by Tarik O'Regan: Fallen Words. The piece uses a simple pedal-like thread from start to finish around which is woven the performer’s ‘story’. Stephen Farr in the March/April 2015 issue of Choir and OrganMagazine suggests that a 'good performance' of Fallen Words 'will be hypnotic' and 'the ability of the performer to engage an audience with the most subtle of nuances is of crucial importance.'
