secrets of organ playing - when you practice, miracles happen

Meditation on Ubi Caritas, Op. 228 | Vidas Pinkevicius | Hauptwerk Begard

3/23/2023

It's Thursday and it's time for my weekly video of one of my compositions. This is a gentle meditation on Gregorian chant Ubi Caritas in the key of F major. The tune is presented in the right hand part with the interludes. The other parts play interesting ostinato figures which help to unify the piece. This composition will be very effective in liturgical organ playing and recital programs whenever contemplative music is desired. Recorded using Sibelius/MIDI/Hauptwerk VST link/Begard sample set. Dedicated to James Flores. Hope you will enjoy it!

When Vidas and I were preparing for our recent recital at Vilnius St. Casimir's church, we had a chance to record some music too. In this video, I'd like to share with you this beautiful Vater unser im Himmelreich by Georg Philipp Telemann. This chorale prelude has two settings - a fugal chorale for 3 voices and a bicinium alio modo. In both settings the cantus firmus is presented in the soprano part. Hope you will enjoy it!

Irish Interlude (Kingsfold) | Phil Lehenbauer | Hauptwerk Utrecht

3/17/2023

Comments

On St. Patrick's Day I'd like to share with you my rendition of this lovely Irish Interlude (Kingsfold) by Phil Lehenbauer. Here's what the composer writes about this piece: "Based on an ancient Irish tune and made famous by Vaughan Williams, "Kingsfold" is often sung to the text of "I heard the voice of Jesus say", but there are many other text settings as well. This peaceful interlude features the melody prominently in a 6/8 setting that will work beautifully as a prelude, offertory, wedding music, and for many other settings. Add a bit of Irish to your playing!"

This is a meditation on the beloved Gregorian chant tune Adoro te devote written in the key of C major. The tune which features a solo reed stop moves to Eb major area in the second verse before coming back to C major. Gentle refrain played on string stops helps to unify the piece. This composition will be very effective for liturgical organ playing and recital programs whenever contemplative music is desired. Dedicated to the memory of Aleksas Speičys.

Prelude on "Kto się w opiekę" | Stanisław Moniuszko | VU Aula Parva

3/14/2023

Comments

In a recent event at Vilnius University Aula Parva I was asked to play a few pieces of Polish music on the organ. For the opening I chose one of the most well-known preludes by Stanisław Moniuszko (1819-1872), a father of Polish Romanticism who also worked as an organist at Vilnius St. John's church. This piece is based on the famous Polish hymn "Kto się w opiekę" (Who will take care of his Lord). Even though it is a lovely one-manual organ, I managed to create an impression of manual changes. Hope you will enjoy it!
