The 'March King' John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) wrote over 100 marches for his world-famous band. So great was their popularity that they appeared in many solo and ensemble arrangements even including Guitar Zither Mandolin and Banjo. Given their original conception for Wind Instruments and Sousa's own predilection for and skill in transcriptions arrangements for Organ seem highly appropriate. These pieces have been expertlyarranged by Martin Setchell.

Cette suite de transcriptions propose des pièces au tempérament bien marqué, chacune d'elle étant un petit bijou en soi. L'extrême précision et fidélité des arrangements d'André Isoir les rend parfois difficile d'accès mais le résultat en est fraîcheur, spontanéité, virtuosité, musicalité. C'est là tout l'art de la transcription. A travers les oeuvres de du Fay, du Caurroy, Monteverdi, Purcell ou Charpentier, les organistes trouveront un réel plaisir à jouer ces pièces sur un orgue d'esthétique française ou classique. / Orgue

Extrait De La 3Ème Symphonie. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Oeuvre emblématique s'il en est, le Maestoso de la 3e Symphonie de Saint-Saëns est une des pages pour orgue et orchestre les plus célèbres qui soit, ce qui rend l'exercice de transcription d'autant plus délicat et risqué. Tout organiste a un jour rêvé de pouvoir interpréter cet extraordinaire mouvement en se substituant à l'orchestre et d'en assurer seul l'exécution. C'est chose faite avec l'arrangement de Thierry Pallesco qui signe là une partition sobre et efficace, rigoureusement fidèle, allant à l'essentiel et tenant judicieusement compte du rendu sonore avant tout. Il permet ainsi à l'organiste de recréer ce fameux final, seul, aux claviers de son ' orgue-orchestre '. Pour des raisons d'orchestration et de jouabilité, la partie centrale du mouvement n'a pas pu être retranscrite, enchaînant ainsi le fugato à la coda finale. / Niveau : Moyen à Avancé / Classique (1760-1900) / Date parution : 2008-09-01/ Répertoire / Orgue

A dictionary definition of sublime is ‘awe-inspiring’ and we are happy to make that claim for the pieces in this fabulous collection. Here under one cover are fifty of the most beautiful compositions in the world all arranged with great skill for the Organ.

Transcription-Jean Guillou did not change a single note for this arrangement. He just distributed the different parts to the manuals and the pedal in a way that guarantees a clear and varied registration in harmony with the architecture of the work and the fingerings and pedallings of difficult passages. The registration only serves as a suggestion since the ways of using the instruments are as varied as the tastes and views of the artists.

One of the least known of the great Russian pianists of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, Alexander Siloti (1863-1945) was one of the most influential and progressive. As a concert promoter, he introduced the music of dozens of composers to the Russian public in the famous Siloti Concerts of 1903-1917, including Albeniz, Debussy, de Falla, Delius, Elgar, Enesco, Mahler and Schoenberg. A student of Liszt (and one of the teachers of Rachmaninoff), Siloti is a central figure in the development of the great age of the piano virtuoso. As with many of his colleagues, transcribing and arranging existing music for the piano was a major part of Siloti's activity, and since he madeno recordings, his published transcriptions are one of the few existing keys we have to his musical taste and philosophy. In an extended biographical essay, Dr. Charles Barber explores this issue and writes cogently about the style and influence of this remarkable man. The Alexander Siloti Collection is dominated by Siloti's remarkable transcriptions and arrangements of the music of J.S. Bach, notable particularly for their pianistic character and faithfulness to the unique genetic code of Bach's design. Some of the Bach works included are: Prelude in B Minor, BWV855a, Gigue from Suite in Bb Major, Chaconne in D Minor, the Organ Preludes in E Minor and G Minor and the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565. Music by Gluck, Mozart and Chopin is also contained in this generous compilation of pianistic wizardry. This addition to The Master's Collection is likely to be one of the most talked about piano folios of the year.
