Organ & Orchestra SELECTED REPERTOIRE FOR ORGAN AND ORCHESTRA (last updated 10/11/20) This listing, which is neither scholarly nor in any way exhaustive (though likely exhausting to ponder!), grew out of my own curiosity. It derives from a variety of sources, including my personal library of recordings and, most recently, a reviewing of the “Bibliography of Concertos for Organ and Orchestra” compiled by Richard H. Satorius. Published in 1961 by ‘The Instrumentalist Co.’, 1418 Lake Street, Evanston, IL, the Satorius pamphlet (long out of print, but available in many library collections) provides a much more detailed accounting of the provenance of many of the pieces enumerated below which I merely list as a convenient reference point. Heavens, there is a lot of repertoire for organ and ‘orchestra’! NOTE: items with the composer name in CAPS represent the most significant organ/orchestra collaborations. An asterisk (*) indicates that the organ is featured in an important solo role, as in a concerto or ‘organ symphony’. Those items in bold face are orchestral repertoire selections in which the organ part is significant and prominent but not soloistic. In the other works, the organ part is ‘obbligato’, an additional ‘voice’ in the orchestral texture, where its presence, though perhaps not essential, nonetheless adds to the overall visceral/emotional impact of the piece. If nothing else, perhaps this eye-popping list will encourage players (and conductors) to look beyond the ‘standard few’ works that are persistently trotted out. At least some of these others may not deserve their obscurity.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Witold Lutosławski Concerto for Orchestra
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Witold Lutosławski Born January 25, 1913, Warsaw, Poland. Died February 7, 1994, Warsaw, Poland. Concerto for Orchestra Lutosławski began this work in 1950 and completed it in 1954. The first performance was given on November 26, 1954, in Warsaw. The score calls for three flutes and two piccolos, three oboes and english horn, three clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, four trumpets, four trombones and tuba, timpani, snare drum, side drums, tenor drum, bass drum, cymbals, tam-tam, tambourine, xylophone, bells, celesta, two harps, piano, and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-eight minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first subscription concert performances of Lutosławski's Concerto for Orchestra were given at Orchestra Hall on February 6, 7, and 8, 1964, with Paul Kletzki conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performance was given November 7, 8, and 9, 2002, with Christoph von Dohnányi conducting. The Orchestra has performed this concerto at the Ravinia Festival only once, on June 28, 1970, with Seiji Ozawa conducting. For the record The Orchestra recorded Lutosławski's Concerto for Orchestra in 1970 under Seiji Ozawa for Angel, and in 1992 under Daniel Barenboim for Erato. To most musicians today, as to Witold Lutosławski in 1954, the title “concerto for orchestra” suggests Béla Bartók's landmark 1943 score of that name. Bartók's is the most celebrated, but it's neither the first nor the last work with this title. Paul Hindemith, Walter Piston, and Zoltán Kodály all wrote concertos for orchestra before Bartók, and Witold Lutosławski, Michael Tippett, Elliott Carter, and Shulamit Ran are among those who have done so after his famous example.

  • Gender Association with Stringed Instruments: a Four-Decade Analysis of Texas All-State Orchestras
    Texas Music Education Research, 2012 V. D. Baker Edited by Mary Ellen Cavitt, Texas State University—San Marcos Gender Association with Stringed Instruments: A Four-Decade Analysis of Texas All-State Orchestras Vicki D. Baker Texas Woman’s University The violin, viola, cello, and double bass have fluctuated in both their gender acceptability and association through the centuries. This can partially be attributed to the historical background of women’s involvement in music. Both church and society rigidly enforced rules regarding women’s participation in instrumental music performance during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In the 1700s, Antonio Vivaldi established an all-female string orchestra and composed music for their performance. In the early 1800s, women were not allowed to perform in public and were severely limited in their musical training. Towards the end of the 19th century, it became more acceptable for women to study violin and cello, but they were forbidden to play in professional orchestras. Societal beliefs and conventions regarding the female body and allure were an additional obstacle to women as orchestral musicians, due to trepidation about their physiological strength and the view that some instruments were “unsightly for women to play, either because their presence interferes with men’s enjoyment of the female face or body, or because a playing position is judged to be indecorous” (Doubleday, 2008, p. 18). In Victorian England, female cellists were required to play in problematic “side-saddle” positions to prevent placing their instrument between opened legs (Cowling, 1983). The piano, harp, and guitar were deemed to be the only suitable feminine instruments in North America during the 19th Century in that they could be used to accompany ones singing and “required no facial exertions or body movements that interfered with the portrait of grace the lady musician was to emanate” (Tick, 1987, p.

  • Handel' S Organ Concerto S Reconsidered
    Handel' s Organ ConcertoConcertos s Reconsidered By NIELS KARL NIELSEN Due to the solid foundatiansfoundations provided by the research carried out by Chrysan­ der, W. Dean, O. E. Deutsch, J. P. Larsen, W. C. Smith and others the study of Randel'sHandel's works has been rendered much easier to-day than it was a mere twenty years ago; this, however, does not mean that all the problems have been solved. On the contrary, many still await exhaustive treatment. Whereas a vast number of books have been written ab out Randel'sHandel's vocal compositions, and the Oratorios in particular, a detailed study of his Organ Concertos, based on the autograph scores and other contemporary sources has not yet been made. Ehrlinger's dissertation 1 contains many valuable observa­ tions; nevertheless its importance is reduced considerably by the faetfact that he did not incorporate the original sources in his research. Accordingly, in the present study I intend to remedy this gap in our knowl­ edge of RandelHandel and his work, by discussing problems such as-date of composi­ tion-sources-original versions-style afof performance, and last but not least, the inevitable question of Randel'sHandel's borrowings. Some of these problems have of course been dealt with before, but I still find it worthwhile to try and collate as much information as possibiepossible about these aspects of Randel'sHandel's wark.work. RandelHandel embarked upon his concertos for organ and orchestra in dose con­ nection with his efforts to introduce the oratorio as a parallel to the produetionproduction of operas which had dominated his work in London up to the beginning of the 1730's.

  • Heralding a New Enlightenment
    Peculiarities of Clarinet Concertos Form-Building in the Second Half of the 20th Century and the Beginning of the 21st Century Marina Chernaya and Yu Zhao* Abstract: The article deals with clarinet concertos composed in the 20th– 21st centuries. Many different works have been created, either in one or few parts; the longest concert that is mentioned has seven parts (by K. Meyer, 2000). Most of the concertos have 3 parts and the fast-slowly-fast kind of structure connected with the Italian overture; sometimes, the scheme has variants. Our question is: How does the concerto genre function during this period? To answer, we had to search many musical compositions. Sometimes the clarinet is accompanied by orchestra, other times it is surrounded by an ensemble of instruments. More than 100 concertos were found and analyzed. Examples of such concertos were written by C. Nielsen, P. Boulez, J. Adams, C. Debussy, M. Arnold, A. Copland, P. Hindemith, I. Stravinsky, S. Vassilenko, and the attention in the article is focused on them. A special complete analysis is made as regards “Domaines” for clarinet and 21 instruments divided in 6 groups, by Pierre Boulez that had a great role for the concert routine, based on the “aleatoric” principle. The conclusions underline the significant development of the clarinet concerto genre in the 20th -21st centuries, the high diversity of the compositions’ structures, the considerable expressiveness and technicality together with the soloist’s part in the expressive concertizing (as a rule). Further studies suggest the analysis of stylistic and structural peculiarities of the found compositions that are apparently to win their popularity with performers and listeners.

  • Zemlinsky's Mermaid
    Zemlinsky’s Mermaid: a new critical edition Antony Beaumont One of the most fascinating works from the orchestral repertoire of the 20th century is being reborn. Antony Beaumont is working on a new critical edition and surprises us with an as yet unknown scene. In 1976, the orchestral score of an untitled piece by Zemlinsky came to light in a private Viennese collection. Four musicologists involved at that time in Zemlinsky research (Alfred Clayton, Peter Gülke, Keith Rooke and Horst Weber) independently identified it as Part I of The Mermaid, and confirmed that a folder in the Zemlinsky Collection at The Library of Congress contained the autograph score of the remaining two movements. Once the two manuscripts had been brought together and collated, the work was performed – for the first time in 75 years – by the Austrian Youth Orchestra conducted by Peter Gülke. Like all other early champions of The Mermaid, Gülke was obliged to conduct from a facsimile of the autograph score: a challenging task at the best of times, exacerbated in this instance by Zemlinsky’s diminutive handwriting, numerous erasures, corrections and other blemishes. These problems also affected the performing materials. Newly copied for the occasion, they have since been updated several times. It was announced that Gülke would prepare a new edition of the score, but the project came to nothing. As a stopgap, Universal Edition prepared a handwritten copyist’s score of Parts II and III. With regard to legibility, this score was a distinct improvement, but unfortunately it was marred by numerous errors and omissions.
