  1. A recording/video of the BWV 608 has been published today as part of the Dutch "All of Bach" project: https://youtu.be/zrde4WqFNYg?feature=shared Laurens de Man plays the Silbermann organ in Freiberg; he appears to be using Flutes 8, 4 and 1 from the Oberwerk and the 4 ft reed from the pedal division.
  2. In Germany two hymn books are currently widely used: Catholics use Gotteslob and the Protestants use Evangelisches Gesangbuch. Altenberg lies in the catholic Archdiocese of Cologne, so the edition of Gotteslob for this dioces is in use there. You can either purchase the standard edition with melodies only, whereas the organist’s hymn book (with harmonised melodies/organ accompaniments) has a joint edition (hardback in 2 volumes) and separate editions for individual dioceses (Cologne edition). Hope this helps.
  3. Hi, Claudia Grinnell plays Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Sonata in D, Wq 70/5 (very likely from this Peters score). M
  4. Thanks to Rowland Wateridge, the "mystery" has been solved. This is the Parratt chant from the Lincoln Psalter (as notated by me) … … and, for comparison, my earlier attempt at figuring out the harmony (which doesn’t seem all that convincing now); the treble is based on the information given here: The differences in the treble might be due to variations between chant books (?).
  5. I would be curious to know, what the members of this forum who decided to buy Gregoriana, think of it. Stephen Farr’s review in the latest issue of C&O gives quite an accurate account of the compilation IMHO. I received my copy last week (after quite a long wait) and I see a lot of positives, however, I must admit that I struggle a bit in deciding which of the pieces might be worth the time and effort to learn (for the most part, sight reading isn’t really an option :). Any thoughts?
  6. Your link opens the Twitter account of Ben Morris … His playing of Rutter’s Celebration can be heard here (and here are a couple of sample pages from the score). BTW: Thank you for pointing out that a recording of this piece already exists. Hearing how it sounds is really helpful in terms of making a purchasing decision. M
  7. No 1 of the Trois Pièces (Andante), can be found here: https://imslp.org/wiki/20_Pièces_modernes_pour_orgue_(Various) (see attachment) Boulay-Andante.pdf
  8. The refrain "Lauda, Jerusalem" was composed by the Luxemburgish composer Théodore Decker (1851–1930) who also included a unison melody for the psalm verses (in this video a different version is sung, however). It is quite well known and often used as entrance hymn.
  9. I believe Contrabombarde was asking about the photo of the 4 manual console at the end of the article in the National Churches’ Trust Annual Review, which obviously isn’t Holy Trinity Clapham. I don’t know about the organ pictured in The Times, though. EDIT: I was just watching the latest BiS video, where Richard McVeigh said that The Times photo was taken in York. Comparing that photo with this one … … that actually appears to be the case. (Unfortunately, there are almost no photos of the old screen console from York on the internet.)
  10. No, it’s the first one – "Hallelujah", has been restored. [Score (first page)] The whole suite was recorded by Marilyn Keiser and is available on Spotify (along with other organ pieces by Dan Locklair).
  11. Is there any other way to order the book than from the York Minster’s shop (which, at this time, doesn’t ship to the EU)? I’d be very much interested in purchasing a copy.
