Wagnerskt Orgelbrus
CG9010 Självständigt arbete, kyrkomusik, 15 hp Kandidatprogram, musiker, kyrkomusik 2021 Institutionen för klassisk musik (KK) Handledare: Incca Rasmusson Ludvig Käll Wagnerskt orgelbrus Att transkribera Richard Wagners musik för orgel Till dokumentationen hör följande inspelning: Morgenpracht inspelad i Sankt Görans kyrka Sammanfattning I orgeltranskriberingens historia så har Richard Wagners musik fått en särställning genom organisten Edwin H. 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. Nyckelord: Wagner, Lemare, transkription, orgel, Parsifal, orkester, Gesamtkunstwerk, opera, musikdrama Innehållsförteckning 1 Inledning och bakgrund ..................................................................................................... 1 5.1 Richard Wagners musik ............................................................................................. 1 5.2 Om Wagner-transkription ......................................................................................... -
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. -

Tablet August 2015
THREE PARISHES NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2015 The Benefice Letter Dear Friends British values are under threat! They are being challenged from two quarters: the growth of ISIS and the political direction of the European Union. When I was at school in the 1950s British values were relatively simple. We had recently been on the winning side in the Second World War and a new monstrous ‘other’ had emerged – the Soviet Union. We regularly sang Hearts of Oak, composed in 1760 in celebration of naval victories in the Seven Years War. ‘We’ll fight and we’ll conquer again and again!’ This year we celebrate the anniversaries of two more victories: Waterloo (19th June, 1815) and Agincourt (25th October, 1415). On September 12th, the Albert Hall will resound to the words of the famous patriotic songs: Rule Britannia! and Land of Hope and Glory (‘Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set!’) Are we unique in defining our national identity in terms of military victories? I don’t think so. The words of the French La Marseillaise are much more bloodthirsty than our National Anthem. In the United States, the current crop of potential candidates (twelve as I write) for the Republican nomination for the Presidential election of 2016 are engaged in a competition to prove how ‘American’ they are by advocating new military interventions. The most recent entry, Donald Trump, has extended the targets beyond the usual Middle Eastern states by promising to ‘defeat’ China and to build a wall along the border between the USA and Mexico (and to make the Mexicans pay for it). -

The Organ Music of Edwin H. Lemare – 1) Original Works, 2) Editions, 3) Transcriptions 1) Original Organ Works by Edwin H
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. Title Date Dedicatee Notes Number Op. 2 Marche Moderne 1884 WoO. 1 Andantino in D-flat 1888 The author has found ten references to performances of this piece by three different organists in two countries Concert Fantasia on Pleyel's WoO. 53 1888 between 1888 and 1909.
