  • The Curtis Sesquicentennial Exposition Organ
    The Curtis Sesquicentennial Exposition Organ Opus 1416, Austin Organ Co., Hartford, Connecticut Opus 1416 was built in 1926 for the Sesquicentennial International Exposition held in Philadelphia. Afterward, the organ was purchased by publisher Cyrus Curtis, donated to the University of Pennsylvania, and installed in the newly-built Irvine Auditorium in 1928-29. It was named the Cyrus H. K. Curtis Organ in honor of Mr. Curtis. Opus 1416, at four manuals, 162 ranks (10,731 pipes) residing in Irvine Auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, is the magnum opus (executed under a single contract) of the Austin firm. Built for Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia (in only six months!), it is a masterpiece of Symphonic organ building, remaining one of the very few, if not uniquely, unchanged symphonic instruments of the period. Gilt bust of Benjamin Franklin and Proscenium and principal stenciling detail. University Seal on proscenium beam. Irvine Auditorium: Interior. A grand space for a grand instrument. The majority of the organ is installed behind the stenciled scrims visible at left and right. A portion only of the Pedal Division is housed behind the non-speaking façade pipes. Grey reflector panels were installed in the 1997-2002 renovations. Opus 1416 was relocated to Irvine Auditorium during the building’s construction, occupying the two side second-balconies, originally designated to seat 600. Installation delayed the opening of the hall by nearly two years. The organ also happens to be the second largest instrument in Philadelphia area (after the Wanamaker Organ)! While comparatives and lists change and Irvine Auditorium: Exterior (pre-restoration).

  • Virtuosity and Technique in the Organ Works of Rolande Falcinelli
    Virtuosity and Technique in the Organ Works of Rolande Falcinelli 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 Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music by Loretta Graner BM, University of Kansas, 1984 MM, University of Kansas, 1988 April 2014 Committee Chair: Michael Unger, DMA ABSTRACT This study considers Rolande Falcinelli’s cultivation of technique and virtuosity as found in her organ methods and several of her organ works which have been evaluated from a pedagogical perspective. Her philosophical views on teaching, musical interpretation, and technique as expressed in three unpublished papers written by the composer are discussed; her organ methods, Initiation à l’orgue (1969–70) and École de la technique moderne de l’orgue (n.d.), are compared with Marcel Dupré’s Méthode d’orgue (pub. 1927). The unpublished papers are “Introduction à l’enseignement de l’orgue” (n.d.); “Regard sur l’interprétation à l’orgue,” (n.d.); and “Panorama de la technique de l’orgue: son enseignement—ses difficultés—son devenir” (n.d.). The organ works evaluated include Tryptique, Op. 11 (1941), Poèmes-Études (1948–1960), and Mathnavi, Op. 50 (1973). ii iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people have given generously of their time and resources to help me bring this document to fruition, and I am filled with gratitude when I reflect on their genuine, selfless kindness, their encouragement, and their unflagging support. In processions, the last person is the most highly honored, but I cannot rank my friends and colleagues in order of importance, because I needed every one of them.

    LOUIS VIERNE’S PIÈCES DE FANTAISIE, OPP. 51, 53, 54, AND 55: INFLUENCE FROM CLAUDE DEBUSSY AND STANDARD NINETEENTH-CENTURY PRACTICES Hyun Kyung Lee, B.M., M.M.

Louis Vierne’s Pièces de Fantaisie, Opp. 51, 53, 54, and 55: Influence from Claude Debussy and Standard Nineteenth-Century Practices. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2016, 47 pp., 2 tables, 43 musical examples, references, 23 titles. The purpose of this research is to document how Claude Debussy’s compositional style was used in Louis Vierne’s organ music in the early twentieth century. In addition, this research seeks standard nineteenth-century practices in Vierne’s music. Vierne lived at the same time as Debussy, who largely influenced his music. Nevertheless, his practices were varied on the basis of Vierne’s own musical ideas and development, which were influenced by established nineteenth-century practices. This research focuses on the music of Louis Vierne’s Pièces de fantaisie, Opp. 51, 53, 54, and 55 (1926-1927). In order to examine Debussy’s practices and standard nineteenth-century practices, this project will concentrate on a stylistic analysis that demonstrates innovations in melody, harmony, and mode compared to the existing musical styles.
