- Nos. 9-16 from 32 Preludes by German composer (Abbé) Georg Joseph Vogler (1749-1814), played on the 1783 Niclas (Nils) Söderström organ in Husby Church, Dala-Husby, Sweden. This instrument is one of the biggest 18th century organs still remaining in Sweden, and quite unique in that it was built by the organist of the church, who was an organ builder who unfortunately failed his organ builder exams. He built some organs anyway, but there are certainly some technical quirks to this instrument. The organ was left virtually unchanged to our days, and a new instrument was built by Åkerman & Lund on the loft underneath it in 1935, almost invisible.
Here I'm using:
00:00 Intro
00:09 No. 9, Allegro in E-flat Major. MANUAL: Borduna 16', Principal 8', Octava 4', Quinta 3', Octava 2'; ÖFVERVERK (Oberwerk): Gedacht 8', Principal 4', Octave 2'. B. 16: ÖV: - Principal 4'; B. 17: ÖV: + Pr. 4', Quinta 3', MAN: + Mixtur. B. 26: ÖV: - Quinta 3'.
The pedals have no individual stops but are permanently coupled to the MANUAL.
01:25 No. 10, Allegretto in E-flat Major. MANUAL: Flagflöjt 8', Quintadena 8', Octave 4'; ÖFVERVERK: Gedacht 8, Spetsflöjt 4'; B. 26: - Spetsflöjt; B. 40: MAN: + Mixtur; B. 41: - Mixtur; B. 52: + Spetsflöjt;
03:18 No. 11, Allegro in E Major. MANUAL: Borduna 16', Principal 8', Gedacht 8', Octava 4', Quinta 3', Octava 2', Mixtur; ÖFVERVERK: Gedacht 8', Principal 4', Quinta 3', Octava 2', Sesqvialtera; manuals coupled.
04:14 No. 12, Allegro in E Major. MANUAL: Principal 8', Flagflöjt 8'; ÖFVERVERK: Gedacht 8', Salcinal 8'.
05:46 No. 13, Allegretto in E Minor. MANUAL: Principal 8', Gedacht 8', Quintadena 8', Octava 4', Qvinta 3', Octava 2'; ÖFVERVERK: Gedacht 8', Principal 4', Octava 2', manuals coupled.
06:47 No. 14, Allegro in E Minor. MANUAL: Principal 8', Flagflöjt 8', Gedacht 8', Octava 4; ÖVERVERK: Salcinal 8', Gedacht 8', Spetsflöjt 4'.
07:48 No. 15, Allegro in F Major. MANUAL: Borduna 16’, Principal 8’, Gedacht 8’, Octava 4’, Quinta 3’, Octava 2’, Mixtur; ÖFVERVERK: Gedacht 8', Caret 2'. B. 17: - Caret, B. 23: + Caret.
09:33 No. 16, Andantino in F Major. ÖFVERVERK: Gedacht 8’.
The mixtures of this organ are somewhat unusual: The Mixtur III of the MANUAL contains a tierce rank (normal in Swedish organs until the 1940's) and is very deep pitched - in the treble it's based on the 32' harmonic series (!), while the Sesqvialtera of the ÖFVERVERK is based on 16' and does NOT contain a tierce. Caret 2' is a flute, it was originally a vacant stop (caret means 'it lacks' in Latin) but was filled in with a flute in Söderström style at the last renovation.
Recorded on the 23rd of January 2024.

It’s finally time for part 2 of Vogler’s wonderful 32 preludes! Here are no. 9-16, and they’re just as lovely as the first eight that I recorded last year.✨A mix of characters ranging from the very energetic no. 9, 11, and 15, to the suave no. 12, which is like a warm summer wind, or the lyrical, pensive, Mozartian 16th prelude.🎹And the rest are somewhere in between. Written for organ or piano, they present different challenges on each instrument, one being the dynamics in the case of the organ. My solution is frequent manual changes…!😅The unique 1783 Söderström organ of Dala-Husby with all its quirkiness lends these pieces a lot of different colours, colours from Vogler’s own time.🌈 Vogler actually spent the years 1786-1799 in Sweden, but these preludes seem to have been written after that. Hope you like them, and don’t forget to click the thumbs up and subscribe!😃
Great collection of prelude! You must have worked very hard to put all of them together - what a joy tonlosen to you 👏🏻
They are much trickier than they might seem! Vogler often composes quite uncomfortable textures. Or maybe it's because our hands are used to Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, but this is something else, even though it's in the same style!
part 3 will be on RUclips in a couple of hours so stay tuned.
Congratulations ! Good work !
Thank you! 😃
You can hear the tracker action in the oberwerk very easily in no. 16
@@zachricher Not to mention no. 12...! That's because the action has to go out to the sides, up, and back to the middle above the organist. Many different moving parts, and it's impossible to avoid noise on this organ. But I suppose that's the charm about old organs...
Preludes 11 and 12 have a few double sharps
Yep, that tends to happen in E major! At least when it's this chromatic.
I just practised nos. 17-24, they're difficult...! Much more so than the others. I really hope I can record them first week of July.
So. Organist/Organbuilder fails to get his Meisterbrief. In Sweden?! Yup. It took me a long time to believe this of Swedes. Never again.
You'll remember the younger Hildebrandt. Bach comes to inspect and accept a new instrument by his homie. B pulls out every stop, except the voix céleste (Jk!). Bach plays a neapolitan 6th in the third inversion, notes doubled and trippled alla Reger. That acoustic fifth in the pedals with the two feet=low C and G. The whole organ sags. The upperwork sounds worse than the worst out-of-tune. Bach gives H a look. H goes back home and is not seen un public for decades. B will not speak to H decades. He got burned. Only in Germany/Saxony. Seriously. But wait! In later years H builds the organ at Naumburg. B comes again to inspect it. Treats H like the invisible man. Only Germans can pull off the demolition of "Scheiss freundlich" in this manner. B improvises and plays and tests around. He listens to a Fonds 8' in every division. Then coupled. Then witn the chorus reeds. Then feels more than hears that Posaune 16' of wood and of large scale.
B can't hold it in any longer. He pivots off the bench and stands up respectfully. Says "komm m' her du." Abrasso like in Argentina. Bach talks. "This is the organ I envisioned (vorschweben) my whole life, bro."
I can just hear that familiar/bawdy register of Sächsisch. Scandalous to the rest of us, but warm and funny to native ears.
Why does a guy even attempt to re-tell that true story?!
Bc "Friends at first; friends at last." That's why. Two Saxon G's hardly past their teens became "man enough."
Bach is our Spirit Animal, right?

Ain't me. But s/o needs to produce a short off this bit of documented history. Enter it in Sundance about 18 miles from where I live. Who though? Ingmar Bergman! (You've seen his Zauberflöte am sure.)
Your site is fun, H. Crack whip and call "blasphemy" if it ever gets out of hand. I mean that. M
Back in the 1700's I guess Sweden was different ;) It is a very quirky instrument, but I love playing there! Gonna start practising for pt 3 very soon. :) (And yes, I have seen "Trollflöjten"...!)
