Par BUNK GERARD. As a 20th century composer, Gerard Bunk developed a distinctive musical style comparable perhaps to that of Max Reger or Sigfrid Karg-Elert. In addition to Bunk?s large-scale organ work ?Legende? Op.29 and its symphonic version Op.29II, there is a further well-known ?Legende? Op.55b written for organ and string orchestra (or string quartet) which was composed in 1945. This edition offers the earlier version of this work, dating from 1914, in its original instrumentation for organ and brass quartet. In order to facilitate performance, the sketchily notated score is carefully supplemented by performance markings from the string version. What Albert Schweitzer praised in the earlier ?Legende?, ?the calm and vivid layout of the complete work?, is also recognisable in Bunk?s later composition: the catchy, modestly beautiful theme alongside the clear musical form of this ?Legende? for organ and brass quartet. - Scored for 2 Flugelhorns, French horn, Trombone - Attractive chamber music for brass with organ - Edited by the composer?s grandson - Also suitable for amateur ensembles / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Répertoire / Orgue et Quatuor de Cuivres

Herbert Howells' Cradle Song for Organ. Composed in 1913. Duration: 1 minute 30 seconds. 'Almost a century before Rutter's piece was composed this equally brief - and not wholly dissimilar - work appeared. Marked Molto semplice in 3/8 time Howells's piece has fluently original harmonic interest and concentrates its simple initial idea with attractively­flowing momentum. This is a perfect piece for a Christening service and would also make an impressive intermezzo­like item in a recital of English organ music.' - The Organ

The Trois Impressions shows Karg-Elert both at his most Romantic and his most impressionistic. The movements’ nocturnal names Harmonies du Soir Claire de Lune and La Nuit are in French as the work is dedicated to Alexandre Guilmant the great French Organist of Trinity church in Paris. Sigfrid Karg-Elert was a German composer active in the early twentieth century whose broad output is eclipsed almost entirely by his works for harmonium and Organ instruments for which he was a gifted and prolific composer. His Organ works include the highly-regarded Sixty-Six Choral Improvisations Twenty Choral Preludes and Postludes amongothers. Many of his works are active in Organ repertoire.

This solo Organ work written in 2009 and dedicated to the memory of the great 20th Century English church composer Herbert Howells has been received with high critical acclaim by both Organ specialists and general music lovers.Although he captures a glimpse of Howells' middle period style and intense harmonic language Venables manages not to stoop to pastiche treading his own distinct path and producing a noble and poetic piece which would not be out of place as the centerpiece of any concert programme.It was used for this purpose to great effect in Ian Tracey's recital marking the 76th anniversary of the great Liverpool Cathedral Organ which alsoshowed its special suitability for performance on powerful cathedral-type instruments.Also performed successfully by Adrian Lucas.Approx. 9 minutes in length.

For this Organ concluding voluntary Hugh Blair choose two carols that sound authentically old and one A Virgin Unspotted which dates from the 17th century. The short piece includes a delightful reworking of God Rest You Merry Gentlemen and a gently rocking Good King Wenceslas in 6/8. Hugh Blair was an English Organist conductor and composer of some perspicacity. Elgar’s cantata The Black Knight is dedicated to Blair who conducted its first performance in 1893 during the time when Elgar was gradually building his reputation through the Midlands Choral festivals. He also asked the composer to write an Organ voluntary to whichElgar responded with his first Organ Sonata. Blair is best known for his Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis which are still performed.

Handel’s opera Scipio was produced in 1726 and remains one of his less frequently performed works. The original production was beset by the problems of the withdrawal of a solo singer and an extremely short time span for composition. Handel made changes in later productions but the most famous element of the opera remains this stirring March.The March was arranged for Organ by William Thomas Best a masterful Organist of the 19th century whose recitals covered the whole field of Organ music. He was solo Organist for all the Handel festivals held at the Crystal Palace for which one may reasonably assume that this arrangement was composed.

In Triptych For Organ the first movement Melody performed alone makes a tuneful voluntary while the second movement requires more technical accomplishment. In the third movement Final the composer incorporated the Westminster Chimes.Twentieth century French Organist and composer Jean Langlais was prolific both as a creator of new works and as a recitalist travelling throughout Europe and the US. His music is complex freely tonal typical of French Organ style at this time and of great quality.

After the succesful volume I follows the second volume for organ music for Christmas season. The collection features famous but also wrongly forgotten complimentary and liturgical organ music mostly of the 19th century. Technical easy

Neuf méditations pour orgue-La Nativit? Du Seigneur by Olivier Messiaen was written in 1935 and depicts his Roman Catholic faith.

Dieu parmi nous (God Among Us) Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composer of his century. Inspired by Japanese music he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity its diatonic aspect its harmony with limited transposition its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong including the 'Bird Catalogue' in 7 volumes and the 'Treatise on rhythm colour and ornithology' in 7 volumes.
