John Cooper Recital in the Moot Hall

Bells, a Star, Kings and a Ride in the Snow

This was the less than succinct title John Cooper had chosen for his lunchtime organ recital at The Moot Hall, , on Tuesday 2nd February. However, it did make wonder what it meant, which helped to raise one’s interest level! John Cooper is Organist Emeritus of St Mary-le-Tower, the Civic of Ipswich, but the Essex connection is that he was for many years Senior Lecturer in the Colchester Institute School of Music and responsible for establishing a flourishing tradition of organ playing, and is fondly remembered by our President for being an inspirational teacher in the 1970s. Today was the first time I, personally, had heard him play and a delightful surprise for me was that his playing sounded more like that of a 20-year old than that of a much more mature man – 80 years old to be precise.

And the snappy title of his programme? He explained it by introducing the main thread as being related to bells. Les Carillons de Paris by Couperin, Samuel Wesley’s An Air composed for Holsworthy Church Bells and varied for the organ (another snappy title!), Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson (arr Thomas Trotter) and Carillon Sortie by Mulet. Interlaced between these main-theme items were pieces by Bach, Buxtehude, Dubois, Mendelssohn and Andrew Carter (b 1939). Both Buxtehude and Mendelssohn had strong connections with Bach as being inspirer and inspired, respectively, so that pulled the draw-cord to tighten the structure of the programme. The spread of the ’ birth dates, however, made for a nice variety of styles and interest, and the overall effect was most enjoyable, especially due to the very skilled and lively playing demonstrated by John Cooper.

The notable hub of the performance was undoubtedly Mendelssohn’s mighty Sonata in D minor a firm favourite of mine ever since I became familiar with it through page-turning for Gillian when she gave a big recital in Oldenberg, Germany, a few years ago. I did wonder if John could help match my memories of Gillian’s moving interpretation, but I needn’t have worried, of course, since Gillian no doubt had in turn been inspired by John’s teaching. I only just managed to hold off the tears during the Variation No 3, such was the emotive strength of the playing. Later, Gillian gave me the intriguing inside information that John’s favourite music at the time she was a student was of the and Modern eras, rather than the Romantic, so she too was impressed with his skilled interpretation of this most Romantic of compositions.

This was a thoroughly rewarding trip to the Moot Hall with its now really wonderful instrument. (See our Sept-Oct 2014 and Jul-Aug Sept 2015 issues for further articles related to the Moot Hall Organ and its restoration.)

London Organ Day 2016 , Saturday, 5th March

This year’s London Organ Day focuses on the centenary of the death of the German , Max Reger. He composed some monumental organ music during his lifetime, and was even revered by some as the greatest German composer since . His music will also be put into context, with performances of pieces by Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms, amongst others, but, most importantly, we will hear music by Johann Sebastian Bach, whose influence cannot be understated!

There will be recitals by Tom Bell (Artistic Director), Henry Fairs (Head of Organ Studies at Birmingham Conservatoire) and a rare UK performance by the legendary Bernhard Haas (Munich Conservatory). The musicians of Southwark Cathedral will give an introduction to the Cathedral building and its wonderful Lewis organ. Graham Barber will give a talk on his upcoming Reger DVD, and Tom Daggett will give a presentation on his groundbreaking OBE organ outreach programme based near St Paul’s Cathedral.

In the words of Tom Bell….” If you are a Reger aficionado, then this is the day for you. If you love romantic organ music, this is also the day for you. If you feel rather challenged by Reger’s music, then come and hear what I have to say and learn more about Reger and his music. I guarantee you will come away inspired!”

Tickets cost £33, £28 (IAO member), £10 (Student in full time education)

Gillian has offered to co-ordinate travel, so please let her know in good time if you plan to attend and would like to share travel companionship, or perhaps car share in getting to a starting railway station. She would also like to know which EOA members she can expect to see at the event. Let her know if you intend to take any photographs and she will let our Newsletter Editor know from whom he can expect to receive photo submissions. Written personal reactions to the day will be especially welcome for inclusion in our next Newsletter. (Please use Gillian’s contact details at the end of this Newsletter.)

This is a day that’s not to be missed! Richard Brasier

TEN PIECES for ORGAN

A youth development initiative from our President.

It is a fact that classical music (in the widest sense of the term) is a minority interest in the UK; it is also acknowledged that the appreciation of organ music forms but a tiny part of that interest. With the BBC’s current initiatives Ten Pieces primary and Ten Pieces secondary as my inspiration, I have devised a recital programme headed Ten Pieces for Organ with the aim of attracting young people to come and experience the thrill of the organ and its music. The programme comprises ten fairly short pieces taken from the core repertoire— from Bach to Bovet—each of which will be introduced in an appealing way and video screens will show the action. I will launch the presentation on Tuesday 30th June at 1.15pm at St Mary’s Church, Frinton, Essex, and will repeat it at Cathedral on Friday 7th October at 12.30pm. My hope is that, from these initial performances (to which schools will be especially invited), others will take up my lead and turn this into a national project.

Letters to the Editor

Thank you for all your hard work in publishing the EOA magazine. As a member I always look forward to reading it.

In a recent edition I noted, in a Letter to the Editor, a comment about David Martin’s article on the IAO Congress. I used to work with David at , Chelmsford, some years ago. The last time I visited the IAO Congress at St. Andrews was quite a few years ago (just after I had got married). I wanted to tell you that I still have vivid memories of meeting there the late John Jordan (formerly from Chelmsford Cathedral) who had taught me as a student at KEGS, Chelmsford. Throughout the whole of our conversation he continued to address me in the traditional way of teachers speaking to pupils, namely by surname only. Rather strange when I was a married man! However, I was more than happy to accept that from such an inspirational figure.

But my main reason for writing to you now is to say that, though the title hadn’t been formally adopted at that stage, I was ‘organ scholar’ at St. Andrews University when the old organ was replaced by the present instrument. The builder was Hradetzky of Krems, Austria. I believe the only other organ in the country from this builder is in the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester. The St. Andrews instrument is beautiful, though not without some rather unique features. When the organ was first installed it looked a bit plain and I have the dubious claim to immortality in that I suggested that the two lamp

4 shades that had been removed from the choir gallery be put on the tops of the two tall pillars of pipes at the far left and far right of the front view! I think this is still the case, though with some tasteful modifications.

There is some reasonably convincing evidence of this in the accompanying illustration, where some of the remaining light fittings can be seen. I myself have kept some photographs

Th Hradetzky organ in the Salvator Chapel at St. Andrew’s

Public Domain photograph of the boxes of pipes etc. when they were delivered. I will try to find them and put something together for your interest. I would willingly leave it to editor’s discretion as to whether it was worth including any in a future edition of the Essex Organist.

Keith Norman, Organist, Rayleigh Methodist Church

Thank you for the Jan-Feb issue. I receive the paper edition which arrived by mail on 16th January. It was full of interesting reports and information, as usual. Particularly interesting for me was your report on Tony Dunhill’s presentation last October. I have already written to him (with my cheque) asking him to send me a copy of his book.

Again there are references in your reports to disappointingly low attendance at events, so again I ask why there are never any notices in the Essex Chronicle of forthcoming events (or reports of what has taken place). I joined the Association some 50 years ago directly as a

5

result of reports in the Essex Chronicle, so that is why I keep mentioning it! They do have occasional reports of Chelmsford Organists’ and other Keyboard Activities, so the paper is not averse to covering such subjects. Marcus Knight

Our Publicity Officer replies:

I refer first to the lack of notices in the Essex Chronicle: I used to regularly send in notices of forthcoming events, but the response was never encouraging. The Chronicle appears to be published in various local editions, so our events may have been advertised in the Chelmsford edition, but they were not appearing in my own Maldon edition; clearly, this was not a satisfactory situation for an ‘Essex’ association such as ours. And I am not aware of any event attendances, or new members, arising from these efforts.

What was effective for your correspondent 50 years ago is no longer so, since we now live in a multi-media age. We can all agree, I’m sure, that we are desperately in need of new, and younger, members, but unfortunately it is unlikely that these will be found in any great number nowadays amongst Essex Chronicle readers. We need to reach out to a wider audience and the EOA website is one way to do this, with its power to enable contacts to be made with other Associations. Note that I built our first website in 2008 and redeveloped it with others’ help in 2011. I have since made further efforts to bring it up to date, but there is little evidence so far of the membership making regular and extensive use of it.

As for attendance at EOA events, all members are given advance notice of events in the Newsletter, and approximately half of our members also receive personal notice by email. And still attendance has been poor. I suggest that this is not a problem with publicity, and I do wonder why the general public should be interested in the EOA when its own members seem so apathetic.

Chris Tutin, EOA Publicity Officer

REGISTRATION WORKSHOP

St Peter ad Vincula Church, , Saturday, 9th April 2016, 2pm

Organists must be the luckiest instrumentalists on the planet—we have a myriad of exciting sounds at our fingertips, even on a small organ. But, how can we make the best use of our array of stops? Registration is rightly called an art, but how many organists have really grasped all that there is to know about it, and, more importantly, how many put it into practice?

You are invited to bring along one or two pieces of music of your choice so that, together, we can explore how to ‘orchestrate’ the music we play. I shall also cover the subject of how to assess and feel comfortable at an unfamiliar organ.

There will be plenty to interest non-players too: you can marvel at the multitude of tone colours, and hear how a piece of music can be transformed by the way it is registered.

St Peter ad Vincula Church, Coggeshall is one of the county’s fine wool churches and the organ looks and sounds equally fine. Please see the accompanying organ specification. Our

It is one of the most important historic organs in the UK, retaining the special features of the late Georgian organ. Composers known to have played it through its long history include Charles Wesley, Gustav Holst, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. It has recently been restored to its full glory and offers unique insights into the music of its time. 10.30am Registration 11.00am Start 5.00 Finish
