A Study of the Baroque Techniques and Lutheran Liturgical Contexts in Hugo Distler’S Chorale-Based Organ Works A Study of the Baroque Techniques and Lutheran Liturgical Contexts in Hugo Distler’s Chorale-Based Organ Works A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Division of Keyboard Studies of the College-Conservatory of Music by Shu-Hui Tsai B.A., Taiwan Theological College and Seminary, June 2002 M.M., University of Louisville, May 2007 Committee Chair: Michael Unger, DMA 0 ABSTRACT This study focuses on the musical genres, compositional devices, and Lutheran liturgical contexts used in the chorale-based organ works of Hugo Distler composed during his Lübeck years (1931–1937). He was among the first composers to write organ music combining traditional forms with modern harmonic elements intended to be performed on both modern and historic mechanical-action organs. As a Lutheran musician, Distler applied traditional Lutheran liturgical ideas into his organ works. For these two reasons, Distler’s organ works have gained a prominent place in twentieth-century organ literature. Moreover, Distler emerged as one of the central figures in the German church-music renewal movement. This document will discuss the Baroque techniques and liturgical contexts used in his chorale-based organ works from his Lübeck years: Partita on Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, Op. 8, No.1; Partita on Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Op.8, No.2; and seven chorale preludes in Kleine Orgelchoral- Bearbeitungen, Op.8, No.3. i ii Acknowledgements Thanks to my parents, Wen-Cheng Tsai and Shiuan-Hua Lee, for their unconditional love and all the support. Thanks to my extended family for all the encouragement and love. Thanks to my husband, Henry Sharp, for the technological support and the research tour in Germany. Thanks to my teacher, Dr. Roberta Gary, for the guidance throughout my doctoral study at CCM and who introduced me to Distler’s wonderful organ music. Thanks to my document advisor, Dr. Michael Unger, who gave me lot of help and guidance for this document. Thanks to two of my readers, Dr. John Deaver and Professor Michael Chertock, for all their time and help. Thanks to all of my colleagues and friends who helped me with this document. Thanks to God for the wonderful musical gift and opportunities that He provides throughout my musical journey. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

  • The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I
    The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

  • Bach St. John Passion #8
    Bach’s St. John Passion Day Eight: Bach and Coldplay Eric Osborne, 2021 Amanda laughed at me one day when I mentioned I was listening to Coldplay for the first time. I had to admit, it was something that I hadn’t done before that in 41 years on this planet. Standing there in her kitchen, she then proceeded to ask me if I had listened to other popular music (I didn’t know the song Africa by Toto). I admit, being a classically trained musician sometimes our listening experience is a little limited. However I am making up for it now. You may ask what Coldplay might have to do with Bach, and in particular the St. John Passion. One of my favourite hymns (and I have many) is My song is love unknown. The text is by Samuel Crossman (1623-1683) and music by John Ireland (1879-1962). In my experience as a choir boy and as a church musician, it was usually sung on Palm Sunday as the offertory hymn. The tune was written on the back of a menu during a lunch in 1925 between the composer and Geoffrey Shaw. The composition of the melody took less than fifteen minutes. The Ireland tune, is credited with taking the hymn from obscurity and bringing it into mainstream congregational song. Of the six verses, I’m selecting two for the purpose of this reflection: My song is love unknown, My Saviour’s love to me; Love to the loveless shown, That they might lovely be. O who am I, That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh and die? Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight, Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease, and ’gainst Him rise.

  • The Treatment of the Chorale Wie Scan Leuchtet Der Iorgenstern in Organ Compositions from the Seven Teenth Century to the Twentieth Century
    379 THE TREATMENT OF THE CHORALE WIE SCAN LEUCHTET DER IORGENSTERN IN ORGAN COMPOSITIONS FROM THE SEVEN TEENTH CENTURY TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Paul Winston Renick, B. M. Denton, Texas August, 1961 PREFACE The chorale Wie schn iihtet derMorgenstern was popular from its very outset in 1589. That it has retained its popularity down to the present day is evident by its continually appearing in hymnbooks and being used as a cantus in organ compositions as well as forming the basis for other media of musical composition. The treatment of organ compositions based on this single chorale not only exemplifies the curiously novel attraction that this tune has held for composers, but also supplies a common denominator by which the history of the organ chorale can be generally stated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . * . * * * . * .

In1987 further research was done on the question of tune authorship and musical style; the material was revised several times in the years that followed. As the 500th anniversary of the Reformation approached, it was brought into its present form. An unexpected insight came from examining the tunes associated with the Luther’s hymn texts: Luther employed several types (styles) of melody. Viewed from later centuries it is easy to lump all his hymn tunes in one category and label them “medieval” hymns. Over the centuries scholars have studied many questions about each melody, especially its origin: did it derive from an existing Gregorian melody or from a preexisting hymn tune or folk song? In studying Luther’s tunes it became clear that he chose melody structures and styles associated with different music-making occasions and groups in society.
