    PROMOTIONAL COPY for reading only Philip Moore Dialogues for organ 2 Dialogues for organ Commissioned for the 29th St Albans International Organ Competitions (Interpretation Competition, Quarter Final 2), which took place on 12th, 13th and 14th July 2017 First published 2017 Duration: about 7 minutes Notes for performance 1. Registration is left to the player, but manual changes are suggested. 2. The outer sections should sound bright and incisive. 3. The middle section, from bar 78 to 113, should be more lyrical in sound. 4. The phrasing and articulation are indicated and the pattern set in the opening bars should be applied where appropriate. also available by Philip Moore for organ Impromptu Prelude and Fugue in G major Published by Encore Publications www.encorepublications.com 3 About the work The title refers to the way in which some of this work features dialogues between pedals and manuals. Dialogues is in Sonata form. Although the work is in no way serial, many of the phrases contain all twelve notes of the chromatic scale, such as the opening pedal theme as well as in the first bar where the manuals and pedals sound together. The first phrase of the second subject also uses all twelve notes. The opening pedal theme dominates the first subject and appears in various forms; for instance, its second appearance is in inversion. The first subject is in 4/4 time, although the rhythmic patterns do not always reflect this. The first and second subjects are of almost identical length, in terms of crotchet beats, but in the second subject the time signature varies constantly.

  • Choir School News • 3 Memories of John Scott from the Choir School Community
    Can- Dom- tate ino Choir School News A Newsletter for Alumni & Friends of Saint Thomas Choir School WINTER/SPRING 2016 ©2016 Studios Ira Lippke John Gavin Scott (1956-2015) This edition of the Choir School News is in thanksgiving for the life and witness of John Scott. Here, alumni, parents, colleagues and friends share memories and reflections of his extraordinary impact on this community. Through John’s gifts, people not only experienced music of the highest caliber, but were also drawn deeper into the mystery of God. For all of us, John’s death was a terrible shock. It has caused us to reflect on how fragile life can be. Even as we have moved forward at the Choir School, we continue to miss him and entrust him to God’s care and protection. I invite you to share in our common life through these pages. –Charles F. Wallace, Headmaster IN MEMORIAM EXCERPTS FROM FATHER MEAD’S HOMILY AT JOHN SCOTT’S FUNERAL Evensong and a recital of Buxtehude. I asked John, who was then forty-seven but had been at St. Paul’s since his mid-twenties, would he be interested in coming to Saint Thomas? He would be interested, he replied, but that if I would please understand he would like not to have to apply. Very well; would he give me his resume? Yes, he would. This was pure John. As John prepared to leave St. Paul’s, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth made him a Lieutenant of the Victorian Order (LVO) for his distinguished services to the Crown at London’s great cathedral, where John led the music for many royal and state occasions – not to mention the daily round of choral evensongs and other liturgies.

He later studied at the Royal College of Music where he won seven prizes, and at St. John’s College, Cambridge. He held Organ Scholarships under Christopher Robinson at St. George’s Chapel - Windsor Castle, and George Guest at St. John’s College, Cambridge. He next took up the position of Assistant Organist at Wells Cathedral where our Director of Music, Scott Bosscher, sang daily in the choir for Andrew for three years. Mr. Nethsingha was subsequently Director of Music at Truro and Gloucester Cathedrals, and Artistic Director of the Gloucester Three Choirs Festival. He has been the Music Director at St. John’s since 2007. Recent venues where Mr. Nethsingha has inspired both musicians & audiences alike include the Royal Albert Hall & Royal Festival Hall London, Konzerthaus Berlin, Müpa Budapest, Royal Concertgebouw Holland, Singapore Esplanade, Birmingham Symphony Hall and Hong Kong City Hall.

    T H E W I N D C H E S T Newsletter of the Delaware Chapter American Guild of Organists ! September 2015 Dear Colleagues, Welcome to our New Year and to its first Newsletter, full of good stuff. You will find greetings from our new Dean and Subdean, details of our exciting program year, as well as information about other outstanding events. Please put them on your calendar and join us, beginning with the first meeting on 12 September. Be like a Wise Man and come with a covered dish. (To repeat the old joke: Biblical scholars know that at least one of the Wise Men was a Lutheran, because he brought a covered dish.) “A Great Cloud of Witnesses.” These faithful men and women who came before us to “pave the way” are referred to in Hebrews 12:1. I always mentioned to my students the names of my teachers, along with other famous teachers from previous generations. I do that, first, so that they have a sense of who their “pedagogical grandparents” were. In addition, I wanted them to know the names of legendary persons from the past whom they will never meet and, very likely, whose names they have never heard. Such as that first American generation from whom many of us are descended: Arthur Poister (Syracuse University), Harold Gleason (Eastman) and Palmer Christian (University of Michigan). A suggestion: Thank your teachers and tell your students about them. ! ! ! Arthur Poister (1898-1980) Harold Gleason (1892-1980) and Palmer Christian (1841-1953) his wife, the late Catherine Crozier In closing, I want to mention that, along with organists around the world, we in Delaware surely lament the sudden and early death of John Scott, organist and choirmaster of St.
