The Sacred Hour (Reverie) was first published in 1929. It is a musical story of a young priest playing the Organ in a Catholic church when he is interrupted by a choir singing the Ave Maria. He then adapts to this new melody rising to a climax of devotional fervour. Albert William Ketelbey (1875-1959) was a British composer pianist and conductor. He studied Piano at Trinity College of Music in London before branching out and earning a living as a composer and arranger. He became the foremost composer of cinema and light music between the wars so much so that he was hailed as ?Britain?s greatest living composer? in some circles.

Dernière année de Mozart a été difficile, car son emploi était précaire, sa situation financière généralement assez désespérée, et son épouse Constanze fréquemment en mauvaise santé et à la station thermale de Baden, près de Vienne, pour des traitements. Sur une de ces occasions en Juin de 1791, Mozart lui a rendu visite et alors qu'il compose un hymne courte sacramentelle pour son ami Anton Stoll, organiste et maître de chapelle de l'église paroissiale de Baden. L'exquise Ave verum corpus (K.618) a été le premier morceau de musique sacrée qu'il avait écrit en plus de huit ans (et la dernière avant son Requiem inachevé), et s'est avéré être une de ses compositions les plus aimés. Dans les six mois de son écriture, Mozart lui-même était tombé gravement malade, et mourut en Décembre de cette année. / Orgue / niveau : Elémentaire / Recueil

Réflexions sur la composition 'Zwischenklänge' en ce qui concerne le thème de 'l'étranger':- Une musique qui ne se repose jamais, qui est en mouvement et mutation constante, ses tons presque tremblante, sur la piste, dans une tension constante.- Musique qui se déroule sa beauté dans le 'entre', dans le appoggiatures, dans le flash-comme l'émergence et la disparition des couleurs harmoniques.- La musique comme un evolvement du temps, en attendant, animée, éruption, ou de retrait.La composition 'Zwischenklänge' a été décerné tje 11ème Prix de composition de musique sacrée contemporaine de l'Union européenne Church Music Festival de Schwäbisch Gmünd. - La première a été donnée le 27 Août 2012 par le Summereder Romain (Vienne). / Orgue

Par CAROL HENRI. La registration à l'orgue est une science et un art. Notre souhait serait d'éclairer et guider en premier lieu l'élève d'orgue : mais aussi celui qui aime cet instrument, soit au disque, soit au concert, soit - bien entendu - à l'église ou au temple, car c'est là, en fait, sa place privilégiée. Nous avons dit 'guider'. Devant une oeuvre d'art (dans un musée, par exemple), le guide suscite l'admiration pour telle oeuvre, tel détail - mais même (et surtout) s'il s'adresse à des connaisseurs, il s'en tiendra là et laissera à chacun le soin de partager (ou non) cette admiration. Le goût - qui suppose un choix - ne s'impose pas. Il se forme ! Que de fois avons-nous entendu dire à propos des jeux de mixtures : 'Qu'allez-vous faire de tous ces 'sifflets' (sic) ?', ou bien, à propos d'un orgue néo-baroque : 'La perfection d'harmonie de cet instrument permet de jouer Franck, Vierne et Messiaen !' Voire... C'est dire combien la registration à l'orgue est un sujet dans lequel il convient d'entrer... sur la pointe des pieds ! Sujet délicat entre tous. Noélie Pierront nous dit (dans L'Orgue, #100, p. 132) : 'Il me semble impossible d'aimer l'orgue sans essayer de rassembler une bibliothèque consacrée à notre instrument. De Dom Bedos aux jeunes contemporains, en passant par A. Pirro, F. Raugel, A. Cellier et leurs émules, que d'ouvrages passionnants, parfois rarissimes !' Depuis longtemps, en effet, les théoriciens se sont penchés sur le problème de la registration - qu'il nous suffise de citer : 1608 : Arte organica, Integnati 1613 : Melopeo, Cerone 1619 : Organographia, Praetorius 1636 : Harmonie universelle, Mersenne 1768 : Musica mechanica, Adlung 1766/1770 : L'art du facteur d'orgue, Dom Bedos, né à Caux-en-Biterrois. D'autres encore, dont les noms figurent dans la bibliographie, continuent aujourd'hui recherches ou synthèses en parlant de ces ouvrages de base. Des revues comme L'Orgue ou La Tribune de l'orgue - entre autres apportent régulièrement en leurs articles des éclairages nouveaux ou instructifs. Le côté 'facture' n'étant pas notre propos, nous nous sommes bornés à étudier l'essentiel du matériel sonore et des moyens mis à la disposition de l'organiste pour en tirer le meilleur parti. Maître des possibilités que lui offre la console et - bien entendu - maître de la technique et des styles d'interprétation indispensables à telle ou telle page (faire 'des pieds et des mains' ne suffit plus, il faut aujourd'hui 'jouer des coudes'), il peut ainsi redonner une 'vie sonore' aux notes de la partition. Sa science de la registration devient alors un art ! Pensé et écrit pour mes élèves, je dédie ce petit travail à M. Fernand Bertrand, directeur de l'académie Rainier III de Monaco, qui m'a confié sa classe d'orgue. / classique / Répertoire / Orgue

Antonio Vivaldi probably composed his famous Gloria in 1725. Although the exact circumstances of its origin remain a riddle it was definitely conceived as a self-contained concert piece rather than as part of a complete setting of the Mass.The compositional fabric the festive character of the outside movements and the predominance of the strings in the middle movements make this masterpiece of Venetian sacred music a natural choice for an arrangement for solo voices choir and organ. Rather than imitating the orchestral writing Martin Focke?s arrangement offers a self-contained version tailor-made for this combination of instruments thereby making a pinnacleof European church music accessible to the often more modest resources of today?s churches.Standard work of the oratorio repertoireSelf-contained version for solo voices (SSA) choir (SATB) and organHighly supportive easy-to-play organ partIdeal for use in church servicesDuration: c. 30 mins.The Bärenreiter Choir & Organ Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.The original orchestral parts have been transcribed into easy-to-play organ reductions whereby the contemporary tradition of such arrangements has been taken into consideration.

Charles Villiers Stanford was an Irish composer music teacher and conductor. Stanford composed a substantial number of concert works including seven symphonies but his best-remembered pieces are his choral works for church performance chiefly composed in the Anglican tradition. Admitted to Queens College Cambridge with an Organ scholarship Stanford had written a substantial number of compositions including vocal music both sacred and secular and orchestral works before getting involved with the university’s Musical Society. While still an undergraduate Stanford was appointed organist of Trinity College Cambridge.Part of the‘Four Intermezzi Op. 189’ Intermezzo On An Irish Air for Organ is based on the melody of the well-known ‘Londonderry Air’.

Schwingt Freudig Euch Empor BWV 36 (final version)Cantata for the First of Advent- Urtext of the New Bach Edition- Performance material (BA10036) vocal score (BA10036-90) and study score (TP1036) available for saleBärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach?s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work or at least re-work an existing one for every Sunday and festival of thechurch year as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations school and university celebrations and royal birthdays.Unfortunately not all cantatas have survived. However over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then.
