Ecce Dominus Veniet | Hieronymus Praetorius | Organ Duet | Neustadt an der Weinstrasse

9/26/2022

Comments

This is an organ duet arrangement of polychoral motet for 8 voices by Hieronymus Praetorius "Ecce Dominus Veniet". It can be played by two organists on an organ with two manuals and pedals. To enhance the instrumental texture and make it more idiomatic to the organ, lots of diminutions were added.

9/25/2022

Comments

This Trio No. 2 in G Minor, Op. 23 by German Romantic composer Wilhelm Rudnick is very beautiful, full of unexpected chromatic turns and twists. I have registered it with flutes 8, 4, 3, 2 plus the tremulant for the right hand part and flutes 8 and 4 for the left hand part. The pedals play with principals 16 and 8. I have recorded this piece on Hauptwerk Utrecht Dom sample set. Hope you will enjoy it!

9/24/2022

Comments

I recently bought a collection of Wilhelm Rudnick's organ music, who was rather forgotten German Romantic composer. However, his pieces are very beautiful, charming and well-crafted. So I hope you will enjoy this Trio No. 1in Ab Major, Op. 23 which I have recorded on Hauptwerk Utrecht Dom sample set!

Meditation on In dulci jubilo, Op. 152 | Vidas Pinkevicius | Hauptwerk Utrecht Dom

9/23/2022

Comments

In this meditation on the Christmas chorale In dulci jubilo, Op. 152 the melody is placed in the tenor range played by the left hand with a soft reed registration. The feet play long pedal points on 7 notes and the right hand part plays around the notes of G major scale with some interesting rhythms. It's a very easy piece, suitable both for liturgical purposes and for concert playing when more contemplative music is required.

SOPP693: Alina Rotaru on Early Music, Playing Harpsichord and Sigismundus Lauxmin International Harpsichord Contest

9/21/2022

Comments

Alina Rotaru (foto Fernando Olivas)

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #693!

Today's guest is harpsichordist Alina Rotaru. Alina studied piano and choral conducting at the music academy in her hometown of Bucharest. After moving to Germany, she studied harpsichord with Siegbert Rampe and Wolfgang Kostujak at the Folkwang University of the Arts Essen, with Bob van Asperen at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and with Carsten Lohff and Detlef Bratschke at the University of the Arts Bremen. She is an active soloist and ensemble player, and also in charge of various orchestral, opera, and sacred music projects of the German Early and Late Baroque as an artistic director. As a soloist, she has performed across most of Europe, as well as in Japan, South America and USA. She teaches at the University of the Arts in Bremen. Her solo recordings of harpsichord works by JP Sweelinck, JJ Froberger, and English virginalists have earned excellent reviews in the music press and among their peers. Together with viol player Darius Stabinskas, Alina is the co-founder of the ensemble MORGAINE, which focuses on the music of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

In this conversation, we talk about her love for early music, playing harpsichord and Sigismundus Lauxmin International Harpsichord Contest which she organised the 2nd time this year.

Carillon on a Birthday Song, Op. 36 | Steven Monrotus | VU St John's Church

9/20/2022

Comments

This fun and effective Carillon based on Happy Birthday tune was created by my friend from the US Steven Monrotus. The composer dedicated it to all his friends and family on their birthdays. An interesting thing happened when I was recording it at VU St John's church the other day. It took me several takes to make a proper recording and when I was done, a visitor from the Netherlands came to me to the organ balcony, introduced himself and said today was his birthday! Then we took a picture and he sent it to his wife and I sent it to Steven to let him know how his piece affected another person. Lesson: you never know who might be listening to you downstairs and in what special way you might touch them. Let me and the composer know if you enjoyed this video!

In this video I'm continuing the training of how to improvise a chorale prelude from any hymn if you only have a hymn melody and a harmonisation. Today I will teach you how to make your chorale prelude longer. This training was requested by my YT channel member Nils van Velzen. Here I'm using Bach's harmonisation of the chorale tune Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele taken from Book 20 of complete organ works of J.S. Bach. Hope you will find it useful!
