innate Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Did anyone else play this today? Apparently musicologists now ascribe this to CPE Bach and the harpsichord. I must say the Peters edition doesn’t make it particularly clear which notes are for the pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarber49 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I do sometimes: it's in the OUP Lent and Easter book - stated to be by CPE. In the Barenreiter volume "Organ Chorales from Miscellaneous Sources" there are two versions: for manuals and pedals, but also one for manuals only. Peter Williams says it's largely identical to an Allemande in a Suite in E minor by CPE Bach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Cooke Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I played it on Ash Wednesday. Today I played Howells Set 1 No 1; Whitlock Canzona; Malcolm Archer Hymn Prelude on Aus der Tiefe; Craig Phillips Hymn Prelude on Caithness; Paul Drayton Pavane; Rowley Chorale Prelude on Hollingside and Rutter Elegy.

The Drayton Pavane is gem - a bit “different”. The opening reminds me of Vaughan Williams’ Job. He has written other organ music but as far as I can tell none of it is published.

Yes, I entirely agree - a super little item. Actually, the Communion 'went on a bit' yesterday, and I snuck in a performance of an Alcock piece just published by Fagus in their album - new Edwardian Preludes volume - http://fagus-music.com/composers/edwardian.htm. Does anyone else play the Rutter Elegy? I closed, on Ash Wednesday evening, with Thalben Ball's Edwardia. I had not played it before and although the title didn't really fit the occasion, I felt the nature of the piece did - just on swell strings with the Octave coupler.

Vox Humana Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Quote I do sometimes: it's in the OUP Lent and Easter book - stated to be by CPE.

Peter Williams says it's largely identical to an Allemande in a Suite in E minor by CPE Bach. That will be this one. Now I'm wondering whether whoever was responsible for this was responsible for that awful galant trio mash-up of O Mensch bewein' dein' Sünde gross (https://www.breitkopf.com/bach-edirom/apps/breitkopf-bach-band-7/bwv622b.pdf). Probably not. Actually I like BWV 745 very much. It's always struck me as sounding more like Brahms than any of the Bachs, but that's largely due to the thoroughly un-HIP way I used to play it from Lohmann's edition, which added its own je ne sais quoi.
