"Prelude to the budding of a rose" composed and performed by pianist Mark Rodriguez.

I recently rediscovered this piece while going through some old piano scores of mine from early high school to late college. It began as a challenge. A college buddy of mine from the University of Texas at Austin was taking a class on 20th-century counterpoint and absolutely hated it - hated it! - especially serial music. He griped and complained constantly, calling it ugly, stupid and abhorren...
KUHNAU "Ach herr, mich armen sunder," w/ improv. intro. & coda by Mark Rodriguez

The text of this work is "O Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not, neither chasten me in thy displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak: O Lord heal me, for my bones are vexed." (Psalm 38). The setting performed here is a chorale prelude by late 17th century north German composer Johann Kuhnau. Known primarily as composer today, Kuhnau was also active as novelist, translator, lawyer and ...
MARK ANTHONY RODRIGUEZ performs on piano an "Improvisation on 'Tomorrow'" by Charles Strouse

This improvisation came about as a gift, a birthday present for a colleague of mine at the Guthrie Theater, Elizabeth Wehrle Deacon. I asked her to pick a song, any song, the melody of which I would proceed musically to develop, expound and embellish "off the cuff." Elizabeth responded: I just sang “Tomorrow” from Annie to my daughter a little bit ago and it’s stuck in my head. How about a slow...

LASST UNS ERFREUEN - performed by Mark Anthony Rodriguez
Переглядів 1876 років тому
Give me the challenge to prepare a hymn and a thirty-minute lunch break, and this is what I come up with. #lovemywork #liturgicalmusic #organnerd #socks ! For my interview and audition on Thursday, the pastor asked that I prepare one hymn for congregational singing. He suggested "All Creatures of Our God and King" (often sung to the tune LASST UNS ERFREUEN) in honor of the hymn's text writer, S...

The Prelude! Boy, I love this piece!!! Bach's Prelude in C from his BWV listing 545. See y'all for the recital at 3 pm tomorrow afternoon! Performed here on the Rodgers Infintiy Series Digital Organ at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Minnetonka, MN.

And the fugue once again, this time at a slightly faster pace. Which do you prefer: slower, majestic; quicker, energetic? I'd adjust the prelude tempo to accommodate.
J.S. Bach, Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 545: Fugue (slower tempo)
Переглядів 2046 років тому
Getting excited about the encore performance of my recital this coming Sunday, November 5 at 3 p.m. at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Minnetonka. Here is a sneak peak at the fugue to Bach's BWV 545. I started the BWV 545 prelude years ago under the late Dr. Gerre Hancock, but after his death, put it all away... that is until now. Enjoy!

cool
Ah, the Charles Ives setting
HAHA! Yes, Jim. I mean, NO! No, no. No! The Charles Ives setting would be... ... ... silent...
This is an exquisite tempo. It's a stile antico fugue... I prefer a more stately tempo.
Thank you, MtOlympus. I am glad you prefer this tempo. I kind of like it, too. :-)
I think that I prefer the slower version of the fugue. It is not too slow. It sounds very majestic and the beautiful Bach harmonies with suspensions are very prominent.
Same here. In the space, the crunchiness is all the more conspicuous & intense.
Can I get the sheet music?
Ha! ha.. ha.. ha... ha... ha... ha. 😐.
Very beautiful. Reminds me a lot of Debussy (one of my favorite composers).
Oh, wow! Johny, thanks for listening. I miss you & hope you are well.
I agree. Very beautiful.
Thanks, Johnny. *hugs*
Beautiful Mark! You should do a whole album of these! I would totally buy your arrangements!
Wow! Thanks, Milton. I really appreciate the compliment. I look forward to hearing you play sometime again-hopefully sooner than later. Cheers! Mark R.

You’re playing the wrong notes my dude
@Pernille. I appreciate the comment and sincerely thank you for watching. Most of this piece is played by ear-the score I reference is skeletal, at best. I also love to improvise and cannot help but embellish the music here and there. Know that I do not intend this recording to be a definitive example of how this piece should be played (the composer himself has provided as much). Simply put, it along with my improvised additions are merely the expression of what I was feeling in the moment. I thank you for approaching it now and appreciating it as such.
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers! And, I am so glad you've made your way to my channel & commented.
Nice playing man. I guess I am the first viewer. Have a great day 😇🎵
Mark, what a nice way to take our minds off the stress we are all experiencing. Let's hope you are soon able to perform it with all of us in attendance. Best, Craig
Thank you, Craig. Its been crazy to say the least. I have a couple of organ works and improvs I'll be posting for the church I play for (recorded for their upcoming Passion Sunday and Good Friday virtual services). I'll message you when they're up. Take care and stay healthy. God bless.
Well done! Heavy influence from Mulet, Tu Es Petra?
Yes, I believe Mulet is referenced by Dell in the performance notes.
Classic Chrismtas theme!
I alternate this piece every other year as Christmas postlude with the Michael Dell "Flourish on Ode to Joy" (also recorded & uploaded to my channel-check it out!).
Bravo. What is the temperament on this instrument? Many thanks!
That is a good question, I don't know. Let me do some research & get back to you.
Bravo Mark! A flawless performance. Thank you for posting. Publisher is Gentry.
Thank you.
Ah - another musician (like yours truly) who plays this Prelude and Fugue BWV 545 on the slow side, but at the same time maintaining both the dignity and integrity of the music. Thanks for uploading this video and sharing....
Wow! Thanks for the high praise. Most appreciated.
Is this work published? If so, by whom?
Yes, see comment above.
Wow. Thanks for posting.
This gave me goosebumps.
Wonderful!
What chord is that F#m+5b+7+9dim^10
Wowza!! I never thought that the strepitus would sound like this; really cool; if I were there I would be startled
MysticalPhoenix1990 Same here!
Wonderful performance! Thank you for posting it.
wonderful
Please say that you will play organ and sing at my funeral and the Bobber's too. I see and hear this and I truly see the gift that God has blessed you with. I don't use it often and only when referring to God and His blessings is Awesome, and you are awesome.
Awesome Mark!
