Suite for Organ Manual

The Concerto for organ, strings and percussion by Kay Johannsen, Kantor of the Stiftskirche in Stuttgart, is a valuable addition to the repertoire for organ and orchestra. It is a work composed to appeal to both performer and audience alike - with thrilling rhythmic sections as well as moments of great intimacy. The organ part, for a three manual instrument if possible, is shown to its best advantage in many and varied tonal colors, ranging from the most delicate solo registrations to powerful forte. The organ writing is demanding, but well within the capabilities of experienced organists. Precise registration suggestions are contained in the score. The string orchestra (minimum 4/4/3/3/1) is scored with sophistication, with solos for all instruments. The percussion is for two players - a part for timpani and one for other, readily available percussion instruments. By avoiding the use of wind and brass instruments, the work can also be performed where the tuning of the organ is not ideally suited to modern orchestral pitch. Score and part available separately - see item CA.1808500.

Die vorliegende Suite fur die Orgel ist eine freie Bearbeitung von Kompositionen, die Henry Purcell (1659-1695) - 1679 Organist an der Westminster Abbey in London, 1682 einer der Organisten an der Chapel Royal - fur das Cembalo komponiert hat. Die hier zusammengestellten Stucke wurden den Cembalokompositionen entnommen, die William Barclay Squire 1895 im Rahmen der Gesamtausgabe der Werke Purcells (London 1878-1928) herausgegeben hat. Vorangestellt wurde der Auswahl eine vom Herausgeber nach Motiven Purcells geschriebene Introduktion. Von einigen der in dieser Suite enthaltenen Satze gibt es bereits Bearbeitungen fur die Orgel. Abgesehen von der andersartigen Zusammenstellung der Satze und ihrer Einleitung durch eine Introduktion nach Motiven Purcells unterscheidet sich die vorliegende Ausgabe durch eine grossere Freiheit des Tonsatzes gegenuber dem Original. Diese hat der Herausgeber ganz bewusst gewahlt, weil er der Meinung ist, dass in diesem Fall eine enge Anlehnung an das Original dem Wesen und den Eigenarten des Instrumentes, fur das die Bearbeitung erfolgt, nicht gerecht zu werden vermag. Da bei den deutschen Orgeln die Funktion der Manuale unterschiedlich ist, moge man die angegebene Manualverteilung nicht starr, sondern sinngemass anwenden. Die Pralltriller sollen in der Regel mit der diatonischen Obersekunde beginnen; die Mordente dagegen sind stets mit der kleinen Untersekunde auszufuhren. Friedrich Hogner, Munchen, im Fruhjahr 1970.

The organ is the instrument on which the young Giacomo Puccini began his career as a musician. Through the rediscovery of a considerable number of hand-written pieces, which he composed after 1870 as part of his duties as organist in the churches of Lucca, several primary sources are now available. These give an insight into the beginnings of his musical activities which have only been known about from anecdotes from his first biographers until now. Puccini's organ repertoire includes works which were typical for liturgical organ music at that time: sonatas for the main sections of the mass, versets which were substituted for Gregorian chant, marches, which were played after the mass (exceptionally even waltzes), and even a pastorale for Christmas time. This music was written with the sound of instruments made in Tuscany in mind. These have just one manual, a 8 foot Principale register and a small pedalboard always coupled to the manual. In addition there were several solo stops divided into bass and soprano.Puccini contributed with originality to the renewal of Italian organ practice, which began in his day to discard its operatic style in favor of a style more suited to the liturgy.

Mit großer Dankbarkeit blicke ich auf ein Dezennium beglückender Zusammenarbeit mit der Stiftskirche Banz zurück. Zehnmal in Folge war es mit vergönnt, an den Banzer Orgelkonzerten teilzunehmen. Gern nutze ich diesen Anlass, den Veranstaltern im Jahr des 300. Konsekrationsjubiläums mit einem eigenen Beitrag meinen Dank abzustatten. Die so entstandene Liturgische Suite berücksichtigt die katholische Messliturgie in zweierlei Hinsicht. Zum einen werden Lieder aus dem katholischen Gesangbuch Gotteslob verarbeitet. Zum anderen sind mit Präludium, Gabenbereitung, Kommunion und Nachspiel jene Stellen belegt, die eine freiere Gestaltung inner- wie außerhalb einzelner Festkreise gestatten. Das Nachspiel ist dem österlichen Jubel der Gottesmutter Maria gewidmet. Schließlich nutzt die Registrierung und Führung der Manuale die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten der großen Orgel der Banzer Stiftskirche in besonderer Weise. (Lothar Graap).

The ten pieces in this collection from Bernard Wayne Sanders divide into two halves: Five Occasional Voluntaries and Five Pieces for Festive Occasions. The former are shorter and for manuals only, whereas the latter are a bit more expansive and involve pedal. Several are inspired by scripture passages, and all are useful as service or recital selections—either individually or grouped into suites.
