Nichagarn Chiracharasporn — MUD for organ (2024)
Nichagarn Chiracharasporn - 'MUD' for organ (world premiere 2024)
Commissioned by Eddie Zheng for the 2024 Juilliard School organ department collaborative concert
Music has always been part of Nichagarn Chiracharasporn's life. She started piano lessons at age 4 and followed her passion in music by enrolling in a pre-college program, majoring in classical piano at the College of Music in Mahidol University. She continued her musical studies in composition and is now studying at Juilliard in the studio of Andrew Norman.
Chiracharasporn’s oeuvre ranges in scale from a small piano piece for children to an orchestra piece. Her works have been performed in Thailand at the Thailand International Composition Festival and in the U.S. at the Lake George Music and New Music on the Point festivals. She has worked with professional ensembles including the TACETi new music ensemble and the Rhythm Method String Quartet as well as musicians from Mahidol and Juilliard. A lover of experimenting, she continues to learn about many kinds of music beyond the Western canon in hopes of finding her own unique voice.
According to Chiracharasporn, MUD “explores the idea between [the] earthly and ethereal as well as anxiety and euphoria. This piece is trying to reflect on the nature of existence, where the tension is followed by moments of serenity. The music starts with the stillness of deep and low sound-the mud of the title-then the music gradually transforms itself just as living beings group from mud and continue their life cycle.” Chiracharasporn also notes that composing for organ is “is one [of] the things I have always wanted to do.” Chiracharasporn dedicated the piece to its first performer, Eddie Zheng, to whom she is greatly indebted for initiating the collaboration and for being “helpful with all the things I need to know when writing for organ!”
Recorded live at Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church in New York, NY on April 5th, 2024.

Marcel Dupré - Cortège et Litanie Op. 19 No. 2 | Eddie Zheng
Переглядів 9335 місяців тому
Marcel Dupré - Cortège et Litanie, Op. 19 No. 2 Written in 1922, the Cortège et Litanie by Marcel Dupre appeared first as an orchestral piece serving as incidental music for a play. It was then transcribed by the composer for piano before finally being arranged for the organ (solo and with orchestra). This sequence of transformations makes a curious case for how well the piece is written for th...

Florence Price (1887-1953) - Fantasy from Suite No. 1 for Organ This 'Fantasy' opens the four-movement Suite No. 1 (1942) by Florence Price. Flourishes of sound are cast by the opening gesture, a rising half-step and cascade downwards, which flow stream of consciousness into new motives that range from intensely lyrical and song-like to highly chromatic and dense textures. This movement showcas...

It's still a tad bit too fast.
Too fast😊
Bravo! One of the few organists who play the left hand chords in the introductory section they were noted by the composer....
Such musical playing. Lovely. ❤
Un grande Organo.... un prestigioso e grande Maestro.... magnifico.. Grazie Zengh.
Eddie tu joues merveilleusement bien la musique française , c'est un plaisir de t'écouter.
Hermoso, pero que pena que se pusieron hablar y quedó registrado, eso no se hace. - Beautiful, but what a shame that they started talking and it was recorded, that is not done.
I loved your unique style and energy. Brilliant work!
I’m double checking my notes it might have always been 4 but if so I stand corrected.
When i had the opportunity to briefly play this organ in 1987 on a visit to the Austin factory to check on the progress of Opus 2711, IV/69 it had 3 manuals. It now clearly has 4.
Such a beautiful inspiration. Wow
15:28 finale
Meaning: his rendition dictates the masterpiece originalle.
Organ is not out of tune. Organ is played in dictariole imposente style
Eddie, you never cease to surprise me. Is this composer Thai? This piece challenged me as a listener for sure but I’m glad you brang it. Don’t forget about Langlais 😀
Excellent work! Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Very nicely done, Eddie!
Many thanks!
Eddie! I’ve heard numerous performances/recordings of all the other Lemare/Wagner transcriptions, but until now I’ve heard no one play this one! Bravo!!
Thank you! I believe Anthony Newman has a recording of this at SJD, but it seems to have be a slightly trimmed version from the middle section. 🙂
@@eddiezheng You’re right! I’d forgotten about that, and I have the recording. And yes, I remember there being a cut.
Beautiful rendition, Eddie! Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed your performance.
Thank you, Dr. Van Wyk!
Beautiful! Love the program notes in the description too
Thank you!
Great job!😊
Eddie, je suis FAN. Bravo pour la clarté de ton jeu et la registration qui y est pour beaucoup. Ton jeu est rythmé, nerveux et fin, tu sais laisser parler l'orgue, tu sais laisser les notes délivrer leur message avant de s'éteindre. L'art subtil du silence après que les notes se soient épanouies. Et je ne parle pas que de cette pièce. Je suis en train de dévorer toutes tes vidéos...
Merci beaucoup! Your kind comments are well received!
P.... quelle clarté de jeu ! J'hallucine.
C'est bon. Je te suis.
Incroyable clarté de jeu . Quelle aisance ! Magnifique ! Je te découvre sur cette oeuvre. Gert Van Hoef, Paul Fey, et maintenant Eddie Zheng !
Wow, He can play that complicated piece while people are walking around him with no problem.
Great performance! Realize that this organ only has 20/16 stops. Aristide knew how to build a real organ.
Excellent playing.
Muy bien. Pero yo no lo habría grabado hasta hacerlo sin partitura.
A glorious piece of music; well done, Eddy!
Wow-- superb performance. Musicality, not just technicality. I love the dynamic changes, seldom heard among other. players. Bravo! 🏆👏🎹
They’ve beat this composition to a pulp. Give it a rest. It’s embarrassing.
Should have had more bass in the pedals 16' reed or more.
Eddie, quick question: are you familiar with the works of Vierne?
A wonderful, passionate performance!
Wow. Absolutely amazing playing.
Bravo 👍🏼
An outstanding organ presentation played by Mr Zheng. This song is one of my favorites. The song is a heavenly inspiration to your soul and heart. Mr Zheng's tempo was not fast, but performed with a dignified elegance of each note 🎵 and throughout the Widor organ recital. Bravo to this fine young man's performance. He has a great Future ahead in concert organ presentations. Again, Bravo.
His execution was flawless, I do wish the organ wasn't so out of tune, it is a bit grating on the ears.
Please, Record MAGIC FIRE Wagner!
Wow, nice work from a composer I haven’t heard of. I will learn more! How’s the tour going? -Rob PS Remember Langlais 😉
absolutely beautiful piece. You are incredibly talented and I thank you for sharing this with us!
From MagicalPipes to This Fine Organist Fantastic Perfect Register I will now add You to my Widor collection.
Großartig!
Ça me fait plaisir d'écouter cette toccata journée avec un tempo qui n'est pas trop rapide ce qui permet de garder la clarté de cette superbe pièce Bravo
Very well Done. So good to see an Asian boy willing to play something besides Bach. I would say that the only thing that stands between you and being among the great is - Memorize your music as the old masters did. You are reading and playing music, registering the music nicely. Note than concert pianists who were among the greatest and people like Fox, Schreiner, Swann, Lamare, Horowitz. Pinkham, Dubois, Hiendle - They walk on stage with MUSIC in their minds not paper in their hands. All Great (Notice Great) solo performers memorize their music. They don't play the notes, they play the music as they feel it, not necessarily as it is written. Go to it. You are talented and have great potential.
bravissimo! 💖💖👍👍
