Giovanni Gabrieli - Ricercar noni toni - Valvasone, Hauptwerk
Переглядів 78812 годин тому
Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1554/1557 - 1612) was an Italian composer and organist. He was one of the most influential musicians of his time, and represents the culmination of the style of the Venetian School, at the time of the shift from Renaissance to Baroque idioms. He probably studied with his uncle Andrea Gabrieli. In the dedication to his 1587 book of concerti, he described himself as "little ...

Johann Adam Hiller (1728-1804) was a German composer, conductor and writer on music. He was also a teacher who encouraged musical education for women. He took lessons from Gottfried August Homilius. Later on in his life he even became cantor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, the same position as Johann Sebastian Bach. (source: Wikipedia) These pieces go without a named composer in the journal.

Handel - Jesu meine Freude - Stumm Organ (1739), Bad Sobernheim, Hauptwerk
Переглядів 3,6 тис.День тому
An interesting setting by George Frederic Handel of the famous chorale 'Jesu, meine Freude'. Mostly with three voices, so perfect to play it as a trio. Played on the new and upcoming sample set Pipeloops of the Stumm organ (built in 1739) of Bad Sobernheim. I used a more distant setting for this recording. So you can hear the pedal tones come a fraction later than the manuals (like it is in the...

Johann Schneider (1702 - 1788) was a German organist, violinist and composer. Around 1720 he became a keyboard pupil of J.S. Bach. Besides keyboard with Bach, he studied violin with Johann Gottlieb Graun. In 1729 Schneider became organist of the Nicolaikirche in Leipzig. He remained in this position for the rest of his career. Schneider enjoyed a reputation as a truly great organist. A contempo...
Fischer - Praeludium, Fuga & Finale E-moll - Köck Organ, Obervellach, Hauptwerk

Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer was a German baroque composer. Contemporaries, like Johann Sebastian Bach, ranked him as one of the best composers for keyboard of his day. Most of his music that survived is meant for organ and/or keyboard. Most pieces by Fischer I uploaded before on my channel are short, so is this one. Probably one of the shortest preludes & fugues currently existing. If you l...
Bach - Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier, BWV 730 - Ahrend Organ, Regensburg, Hauptwerk
Переглядів 1,1 тис.21 день тому
Simplicity can sometimes be deceptive. The melody Bach arranges here accompanies a humble, inward-looking prayer by Tobias Clausnitzer. The hymn consists of just two short phrases, and the second half of each phrase is identical as well. Yet the melody has so many possibilities that Bach made it into several short organ preludes. In his Orgelbüchlein (1708-1717), he wrote down two different arr...

Scheidemann was a German composer and organist. He studied with Sweelinck in Amsterdam and became organist of the Katharinenkirche in Hamburg. Reincken was his student. He is considered as one of the first composers of the North German organ school (with composers like Buxtehude and Böhm). Hereby a small praeambulum by Herr Scheidemann. Of course, this sounds great on the model of the Schnitger...
Bach - Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr, BWV 715 - Ahrend Organ, Regensburg, Hauptwerk
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Місяць тому
To sing or not to sing? That is one of the key questions raised by this organ version of the hymn Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr. This chorale was an important hymn, which was sung in the Lutheran service by the whole congregation. As in the case of all chorales, the melody is easy to sing and to remember. A congregational hymn like this could be accompanied by the organist, who harmonised the ...

Johann Christoph Kellner (1736 - 1803) was a German organist and composer. He was the son of Johann Peter Kellner. He was born in Gräfenroda, Thuringia, Germany, where he studied music with his father, moving to Gotha to study with Georg Benda in 1754, returning home in 1755. He went on to live in Amsterdam and The Hague between 1762 and 1763, eventually settling in Kassel, Hesse, Germany, in 1...

In this recording I only play the third verse of Buxtehude's "Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott", BuxWV 207. For me this verse is the highlight of the four verses Buxtehude composed on this hymn (which has the tune of 'Vater unser im Himmelreich'). A nice chance to show the beautiful Sesquialter and tremulant of this fine North German Hauptwerk model by Piotr Grabowski. You can find a complete...
