  • Westminster Abbey 2013 Report to the Visitor Her Majesty the Queen
    Westminster Abbey 2013 Report To The Visitor Her Majesty The Queen Your Majesty, The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster, under the Charter of Queen Elizabeth I on 21st May 1560 and the Statutes graciously granted us by Your Majesty in a Supplemental Charter on 16th February 2012, is obliged to present an Annual Report to Your Majesty as our Visitor. It is our privilege, as well as our duty, now to present the Dean and Chapter’s Annual Report for the Year of Grace 2013. From time to time, the amount of information and the manner in which it is presented has changed. This year we present the report with more information than in recent years about the wide range of expertise on which the Dean and Chapter is able to draw from volunteers sitting on statutory and non-statutory advisory bodies. We also present more information about our senior staff under the Receiver General and Chapter Clerk who together ensure that the Abbey is managed efficiently and effectively. We believe that the account of the Abbey’s activities in the year 2013 is of wide interest. So we have presented this report in a format which we hope not only the Abbey community of staff, volunteers and regular worshippers but also the wider international public who know and love the Abbey will find attractive. It is our daily prayer and our earnest intention that we shall continue faithfully to fulfil the Abbey’s Mission: — To serve Almighty God as a ‘school of the Lord’s service’ by offering divine worship daily and publicly; — To serve the Sovereign by daily prayer and by a ready response to requests made by or on behalf of Her Majesty; — To serve the nation by fostering the place of true religion within national life, maintaining a close relationship with members of the House of Commons and House of Lords and with others in representative positions; — To serve pilgrims and all other visitors and to maintain a tradition of hospitality.

  • Charles Tournemire Memoirs Edited by Marie- Louise Langlais
    Charles TOURNEMIRE MEMOIRS Edited by Marie-Louise Langlais Charles Tournemire Memoirs Edited by Marie- Louise Langlais Memoirs translated by Susan Landale “Introduction and Epilogue” translated by Shirley Parry Footnotes and additional Letters translated by Rebecca Oualid Translations harmonized by Shirley Parry Charles Tournemire in his forties (Odile Weber collection) Acknowledgements I wish to express my gratitude to the translators of this book whose role has been indispensable. It has been a difficult and delicate task, knowing that Charles Tournemire’s language was often complex; he sometimes even invented French words which, for a translator, can be a nightmare! In 2014, I edited the French long version of Tournemire’s Memoirs, but I then had the idea that an English translation of this text, limited to material relating to music and the world of the organ and organists, would be useful and welcomed. This is that work. To translate the Memoirs, Susan Landale came immediately to mind as an authority on Tournemire and also as someone perfectly bilingual. Born in Scotland, she came to France at the end of the 1950s to study with André Marchal, the famous French blind organist. Winner of the first International Organ Competition at the St Albans Festival, England, she has firmly established a worldwide reputation as a brilliant concert organist and a renowned teacher, in frequent demand for master classes, seminars, and as a juror for leading international organ competitions. She taught for a long time at the National Conservatoire in Rueil-Malmaison (France). She is currently Visiting Professor of organ at the Royal Academy of Music in London and organist at the Cathedral Saint-Louis des Invalides, Paris.

Creative workers like actors, producers, and writers come to L.A. to pursue dreams of stardom, especially in the Hollywood film and television media industries. For most, a “big break” into their chosen field remains perpetually out of reach despite their constant efforts. Expensive workshops like acting classes, networking events, and chance encounters are seen as keys to Hollywood success. Within this world, rumors swirl of big breaks for devotees in the city’s spiritual and religious organizations. For others, it is in consultations with local spiritual advisors like professional psychics that they navigate everyday decisions of how to achieve success in Hollywood.

  • L'orgue Mystique by Charles Tournemire L
    L’Orgue Mystique by Charles Tournemire L’Orgue Mystique by Charles Tournemire N THE TIME BETWEEN THE TWO GREAT WORLD WARS —or as the historian Eugen Weber termed the entire æra, the “Second Thirty Years War”— there emerged a musical Imonument which the critic Pierre Giriat called a “sonorous Summa Theologica”. It was the culmination of great musical, religious, and philosophical movements which thrived and vied for attention in the Christian Church and through French society. THIS MONUMENT WAS “L’ORGUE MYSTIQUE” BY CHARLES TOURNEMIRE. This recondite magnum opus of two-hundred-fifty-three movements composed from 1927 to 1932 is fifteen hours in duration and employs over three-hundred chants both as an act of devotion and as musical exegesis based upon a chant libretto with the goal of celebrating fifty-one Sundays and Liturgical Feasts throughout the Church Calendar. Its haunting transcendent beauty and musical allegory, written by a pious, unassuming genius, constitutes one of the greatest single liturgical achievements in music history, and yet its utterances were little heard in the mælstrom of its time. “LA MUSIQUE D’ORGUE DONT DIEU EST ABSENT, EST UN CORPS SANS ÂME.” E E E —Charles Tournemire P r o g r a m m e XXX.

    The International Touring Organ: Redefining the Physical and Musical Limitations of Concert Organ Performance in the 21st Century Honors Thesis Jakob S. Hamilton, Class of 2019 The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Music Department Abstract The International Touring Organ (ITO), built by Marshall & Ogletree and designed by Cameron Carpenter, is a portable, full-scale digital organ centered around the concept of deepening the relationship between the organ and the organist. With its hybridized technical nature combining the sounds of historically significant instruments and its unique ability to be sonically tailorable to nearly any acoustic environment, the ITO possesses the potential to redefine the boundaries of organ performance without physical limitations. Unfortunately, the instrument’s full range of capabilities have remained largely misunderstood and unanalyzed. The primary objective of this work will be to address these logistical obscurities within historical contexts in order to better understand how the ITO could impact concert organ performance and technique in the 21st century.
