It was an integral part of both Mass and the office of Vespers. Throughout these liturgies the organ functioned in alteration with vocal music, including Gregorian chant, choral repertoire, and fauxbourdon. The longest, most glorious organ music occurred at the time of the offertory of the Mass. The Offertoire was the place where French composers could develop musical ideas over a longer stretch of time and use the full resources of the French Classic Grand jeu , the most colorful registration on the French Baroque organ. This document will survey Offertoire movements by French Baroque composers. I will begin with an introductory discussion of the role of the offertory in the Mass and the alternatim plan in use during the French Baroque era. Following this I will look at the tonal resources of the French organ as they are incorporated into French Offertoire movements.

The descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD."

  • Pipes of the Past: Registration Practices of Selected Composers for the American Centennial Era Organ
    PIPES OF THE PAST: REGISTRATION PRACTICES OF SELECTED COMPOSERS FOR THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL ERA ORGAN By © 2019 Ian K. Classe M.M., Pittsburg State University, 2015 B.A., Truman State University, 2012 Submitted to the graduate degree program in the School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. Chair: Michael Bauer James Higdon Roberta Freund Schwartz Brad Osborn Susan Earle Date Defended: The dissertation committee for Ian K. Classe certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PIPES OF THE PAST: REGISTRATION PRACTICES OF SELECTED COMPOSERS FOR THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL ERA ORGAN Chair: Michael Bauer Date Approved: ii Abstract American organ music prior to the twentieth century is a somewhat neglected area of organ study due to biases of early-twentieth-century academia. This lecture seeks to better familiarize the audience with a small section of that neglected study by examining the relationship between the organs, composers, and compositions of the Centennial era (ca. 1870–1900) through the lens of organ registration. This particular period of nineteenth-century American music became the era when American composers developed a quintessentially American culture around the organ—a culture which would provide the foundation for much of what came after it. By examining this period and its contributions, we gain a better understanding of later musical developments in the organ world and an appreciation for what came before. iii Acknowledgements I would like to offer special thanks to Dr. Rosi Kaufman, Director of Music at Rainbow Mennonite Church, for her knowledge and assistance on this project as well as facilitating my use of the Hook organ for the lecture recital.
