  1. Hello,

    ...

    Daniel Fleuret - Carillon

    Ulysse Matthey - Toccata-Carillon

    am I right that your source for this two pieces is "Les Maitres contemporains de l'Orgue" Volume 8, published by Joseph Joubert at Edition Maurice Senart in 1914?

  2. Hello,

    One doesn't here much FP these days - I must dig out some of my copies.

    Flor Peeters is always worth a look and I play him sometimes. For example this Advent "Wake, awake, for night is falling" op.68/5.

  3. Hello,

     

    Hi all,

     

    does anybody have, or know where I could obtain, the score for the Hallelujah Chorus (Messiah obviously) arranged for Organ duet either by John Marsh or someone else? The normal avenues seem to have turned up a blank thus far

     

    Thanks in anticipation,

     

    db

    Musik Edition Récit offers the score of Marsh's arrangement: Halleluja

  4. Hello,

     

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get a copy of this work? The Robin Milford Trust site doesn't seem to refer to any publisher, only a link to a CD containing the piece, which appears on a compilation from St.Pauls on the Priory label. A charming and intriguing work that I would love to have ready for Christmas!

    usedorganmusic.co.uk lists a book published by OUP for sale:

    Three Christmas Piece: (I) Choral Prelude on 'Unto us a boy is born' (II) Variations on 'The Coventry Carol and (III) Pastoral Dance on 'On Christmas Night'.

  5. Hello,

    On the famous Waltershausen organ by THG Trost, 6 of the 14 pedal stops are by transmission from the Hauptwerk. Was this practice peculiar to Trost? None of the Schnitgers or Silbermanns with which I am acquainted have anything like it.

    transmissions from the Hauptwerk are common at Trost-pedals. Altenburg has 4 of the 12 pedal stops transmitted from the Hauptwerk, Großengottern has 4 of the 8.

  6. Hello,

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a stoplist of this organ please - 'Googling' and the usual sites have drawn a blank so far.

    stop list Saint-Brieuc Cathédrale Saint-Étienne

    Built in 1848 with III/41 by Cavaillé-Coll, rebuilt in 1872 with IV/42 by Cavaillé-Coll (the tower collapsed after struck by ligthning and damaged the organ).

  7. Hello,

    He must be around 90 years of age now, which begs me to ask when this recording was made?

    Wunderlich was born 1919.

    I'm not sure if the sound is that of the Sauer organ at Berlin Dom. Wunderlich recorded in 1989 at St. Michael, Schwäbisch Hall, Reger op. 57. The CD from Berlin Dome is from 1999 and contains op. 46, op. 59/9 and op. 127. No op. 57. Two possibilities: the attribute Berlin Dome is not correct or the recording is older than 1989.

  8. Hello,

    Does anyone play much of his music? [...] He seems to have penned several suites of varying names - I was wondering which of them might stand out as worth buying? If something were to sway me it would be a good final movement.

    I play Bédard quite often. In 2004 Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin played the Suite pour orgue at Freiburg Minster in concert. If you are searching for a final movement I suggest the Trois Postlude CH.50.

  9. Hello,

    Also, any hints on publishers? I've found 3 of them done by Banks of York, any info on the other three?

    my search gives Sonatas 3 to 6 published by Banks (No. 13962, 13995, 14043, 14047). One Sonata by OUP as listed in the catalogue of Roger Molyneux.

  10. Hello,

     

    Does anyone know who publishes the music for the 7 verses of the Vater unser im Himmelreich by Jacob (Jakob?) Praetorius?

    Several suppliers offer volumes of his works, but don't list the contents.

    Schott Edition ED 9726 contains the complete organ works. The content is

    # Christum wir sollen loben schon

    # Grates nunc omnes reddamus

    # Herr Gott, dich loben wir

    # Magnificat germanice

    # Vater unser im Himmelreich

    # Von allen Menschen abgewandt

    # Was kann uns kommen an für Not

    # Praeambula in C, d, F

     

    Bärenreiter BA 5496 with the seven choral works only is in reprint.

  11. Hello,

     

    Does anyone have an opinion as to the merits (or otherwise) of the Schott edition of this piece, dated 1987 and edited by Hermann J Busch?

    I use the Schott edition. It follows strictly the original edition published in 1883 and only a few misprints were corrected. Preface in German and English. In my opinion the best edition of the work. And it is cheap (8 €).

  12. Hello,

     

    I'm searching for the score of a Willan Festival.

    my sources say that it was originally published in 1954 by Harris Oakville/Ontario and that there was a reissue by Randall M. Eagan in 1979.

    Original title: Three pieces (Prelude and fugue in g-minor, Tema ostinato, Festival).

     

    Unfortunately I don't know if Randall M. Eagan has a website. Anybody knows? I'm also interested.

  13. Hello Pierre,

     

    I don't like to have to correct you, but you stress this point to an extent which allows no fault.

    I myself understand this:

     

    Phrase one: The Mixtures were sparingly specified.

    So one for each Manual -the Pedal Mixture was borrowed from the HPTW, aka Hauptwerk,

    aka Great organ-.

    (An this is indeed so in the reality)

    The only almost-Trost organ we have are Großengottern, Waltershausen, Altenburg. The one with a pedal-transmitted mixture from the Hauptwerk is Waltershausen. The organ in Großengottern has no pedal transmission and no pedal mixture, the organ in Altenburg also not. Großengottern has one mixture per manual. The organ in Altenburg has one mixture per manual. Waltershausen has one at the Hauptwerk and one at the Brustwerk. The Obermanual has no mixture. And no sesquialter. And no third. What is your conclusion: that Trost has not built Waltershausen?

    Please, don't think I am against thirds in mixtures. But your point is that they have to be in middle germany. And that is not provable.

     

    Cheers

  14. Hello,

     

    only one reply from me.

    My native language is German. So I never post only in German, because this would be impolite (unhöflich) on an english board. I go with pcnd5584 that only posting the german text is not helpful.

     

    "Die Mixturen werden ökonomisch und sparsam eingesetzt. Ohne Ausnahme beinhaltet jedes Werk nur eine (terzhaltige) Mixtur."

    "Hingegen häufen sich bei allen Instrumenten die Terzen sowohl als einfach disponierte Sesquialter oder als Bestandteil der Mixturen.

     

    (Felix Friedrich - 'Der Orgelbauer Heinrich Gottried Trost').

    The text from Felix Friedrich is not clear. In the first phrase he says, that the mixtures are used economically and sparse(!) The next phrase is not clear, because of the word "Werk". Does it mean every manual or does it mean the whole organ? It translates to "Without exception every 'Werk' has only one mixtur (with third)". Also not clear is the brace (with third). Does the brace means the third is optional? Or is it a reminder (Don't forget, it has a third)?

    The next is also not a real argument for the third in mixtures, because he says: "On the contrary in all instruments there are many thirds as sesquialter or as part of a mixture." So he says the third was in a mixture or (!) in a sesquialter. So we can conclude, that there where mixtures without third, built by Trost!

     

    My conclusion (and Pierre, don't forget, German, native language, ok): in middle germany, the third-mixtures existed, but also the mixtures without thirds.

  15. Hello,

    Perhaps there's an alternative version for organ? If there is, I'd be prepared to bet that it's of doubtful authority, or the piece would surely be far better known to organists. Unfortunately I don't have the UE volume, so can't check the critical commentary.

    the UE-Edition says:

    Fragment of a piano suite (Overture, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande). Conclusion (bars 80-86) and organ adaption of the Grave by Martin Haselböck. Organ version of the fugue based on contemporary MS. copies and on the first printed organ version in M. Berra's "Museum für Orgelspieler", III, p. 76.

    Composed: 1782 in Vienna
