Auke Jongbloed, Larghetto ostinato, op. 12

Score available here: Score available here: partitura.org/index.php/auke-jongbloed-larghetto-ostinato-op-12
After I (finally) finished the Fantasia I published last week, I wanted to compose new. And as I had learned that inspiration doesn't come spontaneously, I just sat down and began writing. This Larghetto is the result. It started with just the idea for the first chord progression in bars 1 and 2. And it gradually grew from that first idea. Now that it is finished, I can hear it for what it is: an expression of all the emotions that have haunted me these last few months.
Though I started without any real plan, I'm quite proud of the result. The form is a simple A-B-A'-Coda, where the ...

Score available here: partitura.org/index.php/auke-jongbloed-fantasia-tota-pulchra-es-op-11 "Tota pulchra es" is an old Catholic prayer, written in the fourth century. It is one of the five antiphons for the psalms of Second Vespers for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The title means "You are completely beautiful" (referring to the Virgin Mary). The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is...

One of the most popular compositions from Bach's Orgelbüchlein is undoubtedly the prelude to the choral "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ", BWV 639. In this composition the evocative mood of the choral melody is supported by the pedals, playing a steady succession of repeated 8th notes and reinforced by despairing middle voice. Bach's son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, probably likes the compositi...

Seger's prelude in C (L 20) is probably meant as a manualiter piece. For the true virtuoso it is of course possible to play the bass line with the feet, but I would have a hard time playing it like that. As a manualiter piece, it is quite easy to play and at the same time it is a perfect exxample of Seger's ability to build a mature composition from just one simple motif. It keeps amazing me ho...

Among the many many compositions that may or may not have been written by Johann Sebastian Bach, is the little choral partita "Ach, was soll ich Sünder machen". It features a four part setting of the choral, followed by three variations, that have the choral melody in the bass voice,m the tenor voice and the bass voice respectively. The authorship of Bach is dubious. The music might just as wel...

Since manuscript Becker III.8.63 notates the music on just two staves, it is most of the tmes a bit of a guess wether or not a the pedals have a role or not. Sometimes long bass notes have an explicit indication "P" next to them. For the rest it is as if the music is meant to be played manualiter. The prelude in A major, L 19, is no exception in this regard. It is notated on two staves and bear...

The ninth Fantasia from manuscript Becker II 51, owned by the Leipziger Stadtbibliothek, is based on two themes or motives. Both are introduced in the first 6 bars of the fantasia. Though it is perhaps tempting to say that the first one of these two is the main theme and the second one is the counter subject, they turn out to be equally important in the development of the fantasia. The fantasia...

The 18th composition from manuscript Becker III.8.63 is a prelude in B flat major. It is a nice play with the motif introduced in bars two and three. The prelude wanders up and down the circle of fifths, thus giving it structure. The prelude starts in B flat major (obviously) and subsequently touches the tonalities of F major, d minor, g minor, c minor, f minor, E flat major, c minor, g minor a...

The next compositin from manuscript Becker III.8.63 is a prelude in E flat major. I sometimes wonder how close the versions in manuscript Becker III.8.63 are to Seger's original compositions. This prelude in E flat major is clearly a four part compositions, probably intended to be played with the pedals. The four part texture is often reduced to a three part texture for no apparent reason. Perh...

Rudolf Löw, Trio in D Dur

Rudolf Löw (1832 - 1898) was a Swiss organist and composer. He was a student of Carl Ferdinand Becker (Orgel) and Ignaz Moscheles (Piano). In 1864 he became first organist in the newly build Elisabethkirch. As composer he wrote mostly in a style inspired by the old masters of counterpoint like Bach and Händel. With the exception of a few Lieder, his output as a composer was never printed. A few...

The numbering of this fugue and the preceding prelude in manuscript Becker III.8.63 (16a and 16b) suggests they belong together and should be played as one "Prelude and Fugue". If that's true than it is the only pair in the manuscript, as all the other pieces are numbered consecutively. It seems more likely therefore that the numbering stems from an error and one of the two was skipped when the...

Johann Ernst Rembt, Trio nr. 12, Es Dur

Просмотров 466Год назад

In 1787 Rembt published 12 Trios for organ. Manuscript Ec 268.5, held by the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek, Bonn, contains 6 of these 12 Trios.The last of these six is a trio in E flet major. In my opinion it is the most beautiful of the six and the best written one. The main theme of the trio is not only for the hands, but the feet get their turn in playing the main theme as well. The rec...

Oley's prelude to the chorale "Ermuntre dich mein schwacher Geist" is the last one chorale prelude taken from manuscript Ec 266.1.2. I kept this one as the final composition to be published because of two reasons: it is the most surprising of the compositions from manuscript Ec 266.1.2 and it is the most difficult one to play. Where often Oley's compositions are a bit stiff, scholarly or even b...

Просмотров 584Год назад

Seger's prælude in C Dur, L 16a, is closely related to his Præambulum in C Dur, L 5. Both preludes have the same two bars as the main musical material. After these first two bars each prelude develops the material in it's own seperate unique way, till the last two bars, which are again identical in both preludes. It's intruiging to see how Seger can create two completely different pieces with t...

In 1787 Rembt published 12 Trios for organ. Manuscript Ec 268.5, held by the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek, Bonn, contains 6 of these 12 Trios.The fifth of these six is a trio in B flet major. Rembt does not provide tempo indications for his trioos, so it is up to the player how fast to play them . This trio strikes me as menuet like, and so the tempo should be fairly moderate. The recordi...
