Dalles One More Year s HYMN OF RESPONSE I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say Kingsfold 1. I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, O weary one, lay down your head upon My breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad; I found in Him a resting place, and He has made me glad. 2. I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, stoop down and drink, and live.” I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in Him. 3. I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto Me, your morn shall rise, and all your days be bright.” I looked to Jesus and I found in Him my Star, my Sun; And in that light of life I’ll walk, ’til trav’ling days are done.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. PASTORAL PRAYER anD THE LORD’S PraYer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. Offering AntHem His Mercy Endureth Forever Judith Weir O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is gracious: For His mercy endureth forever. Who only doeth great wonders, who remembered us when we were in trouble, and hath delivered us from our enemies. O give thanks unto the God of heaven, O give thanks unto the Lord of lords. Text based on selected verses from Psalm 136 Eternal God, in whose kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, and no strength known but the strength of love; we pray Thee so mightily to spread abroad Thy Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under one banner of the Prince of Peace; as children of one God and Father of all; to whom be the dominion and glory, now and forever.

He transformed the already established practices of improvising in the church into a modern artform. He was influenced by the teachers with whom he studied, including Marcel Dupré, Maurice Duruflé, and André Fleury. The legacy of modern organ improvisation that he established at Notre Dame in Paris, his synthesis of influences from significant figures in the French organ world, and his development of a personal and highly distinctive style make Cochereau’s recorded improvisations musically significant and worthy of transcription. The transcription of Cochereau’s recorded improvisations is a task that is seldom undertaken by organists or scholars. Thus, the published improvisations that have been transcribed are musically significant in their own way because of their relative scarcity in print and in concert performances. This project seeks to add to this published collection, giving organists another glimpse into the vast career of this colorful organist and composer.

  • Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen
    Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen Introduction Until the 1980s, the community of musical scholars in general regarded film music-and especially music for the silent films-as insignificant and uninteresting. Film music, it seemed, was utili­ tarian, commercial, trite, and manipulative. Moreover, because it was film music rather than film music, it could not claim the musical integrity required of artworks worthy of study. If film music in general was denigrated, the theatre organ was regarded in serious musical circles as a particular aberration, not only because of the type of music it was intended to play but also because it represented the exact opposite of the characteristics espoused by the Orgelbewegung of the twentieth century. To make matters worse, many of the grand old motion picture theatres were torn down in the fifties and sixties, their music libraries and theatre organs sold off piecemeal or destroyed. With a few obvious exceptions (such as the installation at Radio City Music Hall in New (c) 1991 Indiana Theory Review 82 Indiana Theory Review Vol. 11 York Cityl), it became increasingly difficult to hear a theatre organ in anything like its original acoustic setting. The theatre organ might have disappeared altogether under the depredations of time and changing taste had it not been for groups of amateurs that restored and maintained some of the instruments in theatres or purchased and installed them in other locations. The American Association of Theatre Organ Enthusiasts (now American Theatre Organ Society [ATOS]) was established on 8 February 1955,2 and by 1962, there were thirteen chapters spread across the country.

  • THE AEOLIAN SKINNER ORGAN History of the Organ
    THE AEOLIAN SKINNER ORGAN History of the Organ The first organ in Saint Paul’s present building was designed by Charles Courboin, organist of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, and built by the E.M. Skinner Organ Company of Boston. The instrument, three manuals with 43 ranks, was situated in the space behind the reredos and in an attic chamber high above the nave, with sounds coming through openings in the wooden ceiling of the church. It was a superb example of the Romantic orchestral organ, possessing a warm sound, rich in color. It was at its best in transcriptions of music writ- ten for orchestra and organ music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. However, like most organs of the period, it lacked the clarity necessary for the performance of Bach, and the intensity implied in the great French school of organ composition. In the early 1950’s, Saint Paul’s Vestry began to address the deteriorating mechanical condition of the Skinner organ and its musical limitations. A contract was signed in 1953 with the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company of Boston to re- build the instrument as part of the church’s centennial cele- bration. G. Donald Harrison, president and tonal director of the firm, worked with Thomas Dunn, organist at Saint Paul’s, in developing a completely new instrument of “American Classic” design. The “American Classic” concept, Harrison’s own creation, was eclectic. It combines the best elements of several traditions: the seventeenth-century German organ, the nineteenth-century French symphonic organ and the English cathedral or- gan for which so much Anglican church music is written.

  • The Art of Stylish Organ Improvisation
    The Art of Stylish Organ Improvisation Dr Michał Szostak Published in: Szostak Michał, "The Art of Stylish Organ Improvisation", in: "The Organ”, No 390, Nov.2019- Jan.2020, Musical Opinion Ltd, London, ISSN 0030-4883, pp. 20-27. Prologue The spontaneous musical activity of a man was the main source from which the entire musical culture of humanity was born. Before the musicians started composing their repetitive works, improvised music was used both for entertainment and for the needs of worship. For centuries, along with the development of instruments, the development of playing techniques has continued. The adaptation of organ for the use of the Western Church implied a dynamic development of this wonderful instrument. The flexibility of the liturgy meant that improvisation was the most optimal way of implementing live music during worships. In principle, until the early second half of the 19th century, improvisation was the dominant form of organ playing. At that time, organs in concert halls were located (e.g. Albert Hall in Sheffield, The Royal Albert's Hall in London, Palais Trocadéro in Paris), and regular concerts were organized there, during which organ literature began to appear regularly. The subject of this article is the issue of showing the methodology of the performer's approach to the art of stylish organ improvisation, which after a period of stagnation at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, has been experiencing its renaissance in recent decades. Detailed analyses will be provided on the base of the 19th-century French symphonic era, but the same approach and methodology can be used for each epoch and each style.

  • How Do We Choose a New Organ?
    Worship Formation & Liturgical Resources: Frequently Asked Questions How do we choose a new organ? The worship staff receives a number of similar inquires on worship-related topics from across the church. These responses should not be considered the final word on the topic, but useful guides that are to be considered in respect to local context with pastoral sensitivity. The response herein may be reproduced for congregational use as long as the web address is cited on each copy. Choosing a new musical instrument to lead singing in worship can seem daunting. A thoughtful approach, however, will result in a wonderful blessing for your congregation. Remember that this is a big decision, one that is not made often in the life of a congregation. You will want to take care that all options are thoroughly investigated. For example, is the congregation looking to purchase a pipe organ or an electronic organ? The latter will be more costly in the short run, but will last for many, many years if maintained properly. Electronic organs do not require as significant funds up front, but will need replaced more often. If choosing a pipe organ, will the organ be an electronic- pneumatic organ or a mechanical action (tracker) organ? With any of these decisions, the options need to be weighed carefully without rushing the process. You will also want to be open to exploring new possibilities, even if they seem unlikely at first. The first step is to form a selection committee. The group should include several interested persons from the congregation, as well as the parish musician and pastor.

The composer spent the first two decades of his life here, became a professional musician in this city and absorbed here the impulses and ideas of the Enlightenment that shaped his later creative output, too. To this extent, it is logical that Bonn is preparing to celebrate Beethoven with a kind of “Cultural Capital Year” to mark his 250th birthday. In this special year, opportunities have been cre- ated in abundance to engage with the “great mogul,” as Haydn called him. There is still more to be discovered in his music, as in his life, too. In this sense, a symposium that approaches the phenomenon of Beethoven from the music-medicine perspective represents an additional and necessary enrichment of the anni- versary year. When I began my tenure as artistic director of the Beethoven- feste Bonn in 2014, I set out to bring forth something that was always new, special and interdisciplinary.
