SKINNER ORGAN AT THE CHURCH OF THE TRANSFIGURATION, ORLEANS, MA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ORLEANS – Widely acclaimed as one of the leading French organ virtuosos, Daniel Roth from Paris, will be performing a concert as guest organist at the Church of the Transfiguration, Rock Harbor, Orleans, on Thursday, March 30th. Mr. Roth has held numerous prestigious positions throughout his career including being appointed Titular Organist at St. Sulpice in Paris, where his predecessors were Charles-Marie Widor, Marcel Dupré and Jean-Jacques Grunenwald. He was also the Artist-in- Residence at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., and has had an extensive teaching career. Mr. Roth is a graduate of the Paris Conservatory where he studied with Rolande Falcinelli and Maurice Duruflé. He has won several competitions, among them the Grand Prix de Chartres in 1971 for both interpretation and improvisation. Daniel Roth will perform on the “overwhelmingly breathtaking” E.M. Skinner Organ at the Church of the Transfiguration. This powerful instrument, restored by Nelson Barden of Boston, is comprised of seventeen different Twentieth Century E.M. Skinner organs, and is the only organ in the world with its particular surround- sound configuration. Consistent with the artwork in the Church, the rich variety of sounds and voices it can create give it the ability to “speak” a multitude of musical languages in prayer and praise to God. The concert will be held on Thursday, March 30th at 7:30pm at the Church of the Transfiguration, Rock Harbor, Orleans, MA.

  • Église Saint-Sulpice, Paris Samedi 16 Novembre 2019
    « Il faut bien se rendre compte que la musique peut avoir un pouvoir immense : Église Saint-Sulpice, Paris elle peut nous émouvoir au plus profond de nous-mêmes, nous procurer de grandes Samedi 16 novembre 2019, 20h joies, nous arracher à des situations très dramatiques, nous réconforter… Ainsi, l’interprète a une grande Concert-présentation responsabilité vis-à-vis de ses contemporains. Les mélomanes attendent de lui qu’il leur fasse partager Daniel Roth, Grand chœur l’enthousiasme pour une œuvre en leur Entretiens avec faisant découvrir ses grandes richesses. Il a aussi la mission d’amener à la musique Pierre-François Dub-Attenti & Christophe Zerbini des personnes qui de prime abord n’y sont pas sensibles. Cela ne peut se faire qu’en s’investissant totalement. Cette foi dans la musique est un bien considérable qu’il s’agit de cultiver, d’entretenir et de préserver quelles Éditions Hortus que soient les circonstances. Comme le disait Widor : « Faites sentir votre personnalité, votre émotion, donnez de votre cœur, on vous écoutera » ! Le plus grand ennemi de l’interprète, c’est la routine ! Il ne faut pas hésiter à changer des éléments importants de la technique de jeu en fonction des recherches musicologiques. Mais il est vrai que cela dépend du tempérament de l’interprète. Certains ont la souplesse de faire ces modifications, alors que d’autres par idéologie, restent fidèles à un Maître ou à une École. On ne passe jamais assez de temps à la recherche de tous les détails que comprend une œuvre musicale, ceux indiqués par le compositeur et ceux qui sont sous-entendus.

  • Le Pédagogue
    Le pédagogue Pierre-François Dub-Attenti (pf) : Saint-Sulpice, mai 2007 : comme souvent, la messe de 12h05 a pris du retard. Pas question pour autant d’« expédier » le postlude: la musique pour les fidèles avant tout ! Tant pis, il faudra courir jusqu’au métro et dans les couloirs de la gare de l’Est. Vous saluez les personnes présentes à la console, attrapez votre valise dans le salon Widor et descendez quatre à quatre les escaliers, laissant le soin à Hervé Lussigny d’éteindre les moteurs de l’orgue et de fermer la tribune. Ce dimanche, vous vous rendiez pour la dernière fois à la Musikhochschule de Francfort, mettant ainsi fin à plus de trente ans d’enseignement (et de trajets) vers Marseille, Strasbourg, Sarrebruck et donc Francfort. Depuis ce jour pourtant, on ne peut pas vraiment dire que vous soyez « à la retraite », pour autant que ce mot puisse avoir un sens pour ceux qui sont animés par la passion de transmettre. Il n’est qu’à vous entendre analyser (tout en jouant) une Toccata de Mufat par exemple ou bien signaler avec bienveillance à un organiste de pas- sage les accents indiqués par Vierne dans sa Toccata pour le constater… Chez vous, l’émerveillement est constant et le partage permanent… Les étudiants qui participent aux académies de San Sebastian ou aux masterclasses que vous animez ont la chance de continuer à béné- ficier de vos conseils et la participation à des jurys de concours vous donne l’occasion de garder un lien, si primordial pour vous, avec les jeunes générations.

  • Daniel Roth, Organiste Et Compositeur
    Daniel Roth, organiste et compositeur Biographie par Thierry Adhumeau Daniel Roth naît à Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin) le 31.X.1942. La profonde admiration qu’il voue à Albert Schweitzer, le célèbre médecin, théologien et organiste alsacien, le conduit vers des études de piano, d’orgue et d’écriture au Conservatoire de sa ville natale. Il les poursuit au CNSM de Paris, où il obtient cinq premiers prix dans les classes de Maurice Duruflé (harmonie, 1962), de Marcel Bitsch (contrepoint et fugue, 1963), de Rolande Falcinelli (orgue, interprétation et improvisation, premier nommé à l’unanimité, 1963) et d’Henriette Puig-Roget (accompagnement au piano, 1970). Après l’obtention de son prix d’orgue, il étudie l’interprétation de la musique ancienne et se prépare aux concours internationaux avec Marie-Claire Alain. Il est lauréat de plusieurs concours : Arnhem (1964), Amis de l’orgue-Paris (prix de haute exécution et d’improvisation, 1965), Munich (1966), Aosta (1970), et le premier grand prix de Chartres (interprétation et improvisation, 1971). Suppléant de Rolande Falcinelli au grand orgue de la Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, Paris, dès 1963, il est nommé titulaire de cet instrument en 1973, poste qu’il occupe jusqu’en 1985, lorsqu’il accède au grand orgue de Saint-Sulpice à la suite de Charles- Marie Widor, Marcel Dupré et Jean-Jacques Grunenwald. Parallèlement, il enseigne l’orgue et l’harmonie au Conservatoire de Marseille puis l’orgue à l’Université catholique d’Amérique, à Washington D.C., à Strasbourg, à Saarbrücken et succède à Helmut Walcha et à Edgar Krapp à la Musikhochschule de Francfort-sur-le-Main (1995-2007), tout en poursuivant une carrière internationale : récitals, inauguration de nombreux instruments, concerts en soliste avec de grands orchestres, masterclasses et conférences (États Unis, Japon, Australie, Europe), enregistrements de radio et de télévision, jurys de concours.
