In recent years, it has become a tradition for me to spend a few festive days in Bruges with my other half, just before Christmas. In many ways, the city encapsulates the spirit of a ‘modern’ Christmas and embraces all of the secular paraphernalia associated therein. Its ice rink, ice sculptures, market stalls and seasonal treats, can so easily distract us from our religious observation of Christ’s birth. During this Advent season, countless sermons will be preached on the necessity for congregations to focus more closely on the ‘real reason’ for Christmas festivities. Whilst this message is undoubtedly important, preachers often seem to forget that they are speaking to the converted. Organists, in particular, are well aware of the sacred nature of the Christmas season. That does not mean, however, that we must constantly maintain a solemn piety throughout Advent. If we do not allow ourselves enough freedom to indulge in festive frivolity, we are in danger of making the Christmas season mundane and losing the celebratory element of this sacred festival. Advent is one of the busiest times of the year for over-worked organists and it is important that we take some time away from the console and indulge in seasonal festivities. By doing this, we will be able to truly enjoy and celebrate Christmas. As I prepare for my annual sojourn over to Bruges, I look forward to wandering around the Christmas markets, consuming waffles and Glühwein and visiting the city‘s legendary music shop (Rombaux). Indulging in these festive delights will not detract from my Advent ‘preparation’ for Christ, but will actually help me to celebrate this sacred festival properly. If all YDOA members take a couple of hours out of their hectic schedule this Advent, they may start to see Christmas from a new perspective! To that end, why not grab yourself a glass of mulled wine, put your slippers on and read this bumper edition of ‘The PipeLine’? Our ‘Yorkshire Organ Composers’ Series continues this month with the organ composers of Leeds and there is a fantastic second article by Ian Beilby (one of our latest YDOA members) about Josef Gabriel Rheinberger. At forty pages, this edition is the largest ever produced and contains a real mixture of subjects! HAPPY CHRISTMAS 3 2.

(Central Methodist Church, York) 4 3. Previous Event Our November meeting was Lecture by Keith Dale Maximillian Elliott, writes: Keith Dale’s lecture about the famous bamboo organ of St Joseph’s RC Church in Las Piñas City, Philippines was simply fascinating. We were guided through the history of the instrument and the genius of its creator Father Diego Cera. The recordings that Keith played were enough to whet the appetite of several members and inspired some of us to subsequently purchase them. We heard the fiery chamades, delicious flutes and full tonal range of the bamboo organ! The bamboo organ was built between 1817 and 1824. It is essentially a typical Spanish instrument of the eighteenth century. However, the pipes that would normally have been made of wood in Spain were instead made of bamboo, the best local material at hand. In 1975, the organ was restored by Johannes Klais in his shop in Trier, Germany, and is currently watched over by the Diego Cera Organ Builders of Las Piñas. If YDOA members wish to hear this instrument live, there is an annual bamboo organ festival that is now in its forty-first year. This unique festival has attracted some of the finest organists from across the planet! 5 4. Next Event OUR NEXT EVENT: Tuesday 2nd December - Social Evening th Monday 8 December - Social Evening Maximillian Elliott writes: We shall arrive at St Helen’s Church, York at 17:00. Over the next hour, we will have the opportunity to play the church’s Walker organ. Christmas music is not compulsory but always welcome! After wandering across St Helen’s Square, we shall arrive at St Martin’s Church, York at 18:00. Here we will indulge in a little more playing, before partaking in a bring and share dinner. The bring and share dinner has been a great success in previous years. Bring along some sandwiches, quiche, crisps, desserts, or whatever you have available! Mulled wine is usually available... Finally, members are encouraged to bring along some festive cheer! 6 5.

Lemares massiva transkriptionsarbete. I det här arbetet undersöks hur Lemares transkriptionskonst är utformad och hur hans metoder kan appliceras på eget transkriptionsarbete. Lemares och andras transkriptioner jämförs med Wagners originalpartitur för att metoder och verktyg ska kunna observeras. Dessa appliceras på en egen transkription, vars skapelseprocess redogörs för. Detta arbete visar att Lemare använder sig av en metodisk teknik som i stora drag grundar sig på det klangliga resultatets slutliga kvalitet. I det här arbetet beskrivs denna teknik relativt ingående, för att om möjligt bidra med insikter och metoder för den av transkriptioner intresserade.

  • The Big Picture - Welte’S Instruments, Rolls, Recording, Digital Editing
    The big picture - Welte’s instruments, rolls, recording, digital editing by David Rumsey The Welte Philharmonie - or Philharmonic to most English-speakers - was an ingenious musical instrument. Its origins lay in both the pneumatics and acoustics of the ancient Greeks, to say nothing of their mechanics, hydraulics or music. In the 20th century, both the “Phil”, as it is affectionately known in some circles, and aeronautical engineering, brought human arts and sciences of using air to their zenith. Pneumatic organ actions were then transformed to electric actions although there was a later reaction back to mechanics. For the aviation industry it was seminal: aircraft now replaced steam engines and organs as the most complex technology known to civilisation. The many ages and stages between the ancient Greeks, and Welte’s early 20th century automatic instruments, produced a train of incremental invention. Each epoch found ways of making organs play and sound the way it wanted them to. That changed with every new aesthetic from gothic, renaissance, baroque, “neo- classical” late 18th century, through the romantic era and on to a second, “neo- classical” phase, in the 20th century. It differed from country to country, culture to culture, even language to language: whether French, German, Italian, English or Netherlands, organs were also expressions of national ethos. By the early 19th century, the means of controlling the aesthetic qualities of organ pipes had long been established by empirical means: if it sounded good, then that was the way it was done. Sounding good, of course, differed according to Welte’s original proposal for the appearance of whether you were a medieval Britannic’s Philharmonie on board Netherlander, a renaissance Spaniard, a baroque Saxon, or your language and culture were “classical” French.

    The organ music of Edwin H. Lemare – 1) Original works, 2) Editions, 3) Transcriptions 1) Original organ works by Edwin H. Lemare (211) The 52 pieces without opus numbers have been allocated WoO. numbers, which will be used for identification purposes in the new printed edition from www.trumph.se. Some of these works use melodies by other composers. They are not transcriptions in the sense of being an organ version of the original composers music, but they are free paraphrases by Lemare in the manner of a fantasia or hymn prelude. They have been included here as original works. Two works, the Concert Fantasia on Pleyel's German Hymn WoO. 53 and a March in G WoO. 54 are presumed lost. (Note that sometimes Lemare used the same opus number twice eg. Op. 74, Op. 121, Op. 141 and Op. 153.) Op.
