A Joyous Prelude

SKU: SU.80101353

Keyboard Duration: 6' Composed: 2014 Published by: Zimbel Press Inspired by Bach's BWV 998 (a keyboard piece likely originally conceived for the lautenwerk or lute harpsichord), this piece may be played effectively on any keyboard instrument (organ, piano, harmonium/reed organ, harpsichord, clavichord, or electronic keyboard). The opening triple-meter prelude in Eb major is sunny and bright in character, with its arpeggiated textures evoking plucked strings. The fughetta begins in the relative minor (C), with a darker and more dissonantly chromatic character; however, it works through several keys to end in Eb major. The concluding allegro returns to joyous mood of the opening movement (though its middle section returns again to C minor).

L’origine du cantique Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. D’aucuns soutiennent qu’il s’agit d’un noël ancien inspiré d’une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que Saint François d’Assise s’en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. D’autres attribuent son origine Saint Bonaventure. Quoiqu’il en soit, il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par l’Anglais John Francis Wade. Adeste Fidelis (Ô peuple fidèle) est un des plus célèbres cantiques de Noël.
