    PIERRE COCHEREAU: A LEGACY OF IMPROVISATION AT NOTRE DAME DE PARIS By ©2019 Matt Gender Submitted to the graduate degree program in School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ______________________________ Chairperson: Michael Bauer ______________________________ James Higdon ______________________________ Colin Roust ______________________________ David Alan Street ______________________________ Martin Bergee Date Defended: 05/15/19 The Dissertation Committee for Matt Gender certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PIERRE COCHEREAU: A LEGACY OF IMPROVISATION AT NOTRE DAME DE PARIS _____________________________ Chairperson: Michael Bauer Date Approved: 05/15/19 ii ABSTRACT Pierre Cochereau (1924–84) was the organist of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and an improviser of organ music in both concert and liturgical settings. He transformed the already established practices of improvising in the church into a modern artform. He was influenced by the teachers with whom he studied, including Marcel Dupré, Maurice Duruflé, and André Fleury. The legacy of modern organ improvisation that he established at Notre Dame in Paris, his synthesis of influences from significant figures in the French organ world, and his development of a personal and highly distinctive style make Cochereau’s recorded improvisations musically significant and worthy of transcription. The transcription of Cochereau’s recorded improvisations is a task that is seldom undertaken by organists or scholars. Thus, the published improvisations that have been transcribed are musically significant in their own way because of their relative scarcity in print and in concert performances. This project seeks to add to this published collection, giving organists another glimpse into the vast career of this colorful organist and composer.

PIPE ORGAN AT CHRIST KING PARISH The Organ Committee at Christ King Parish was formed in 2015 at the request of the Pastoral Council and the Worship Committee to evaluate the condition of our current organ, plus its present and future role in our community. This report will provide details on the failing condition of our organ, the cost for refurbishment vs the cost of replacing the instrument and the vetting of organ building companies. In 2007, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issued a document entitled, “Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship”. Drawing from several centuries of organ use in the Catholic Church the Bishops stated the following about organs: 87. Among all other instruments which are suitable for divine worship, the organ is “accorded pride of place” because of its capacity to sustain the singing of a large gathered assembly, due to both its size and its ability to give “resonance to the fullness of human sentiments, from joy to sadness, from praise to lamentation.” Likewise,” the manifold possibilities of the organ in some way remind us of the immensity and the magnificence of God” 88.

  • EN CHAMADE U the Newsletter of the Winchester American Guild of Organists
    u EN CHAMADE u The Newsletter of the Winchester American Guild of Organists Daniel Hannemann, editor [email protected] Our website: http://www.agohq.org/chapters/winchester June ~ July ~ August 2016 From the Dean - - - The recital series proposed by the board for the Lutheran retirement community at Orchard Ridge was enthusiastically accepted by administrators at Orchard Ridge. Judy Connelly, Daniel Hannemann, & Steven Cooksey met with officials from the village in late March. Below are excerpts from the minutes taken by the Director of Activities at Orchard Ridge. Hopefully, they provide a clear picture of our series. Examination of the instrument has shown it to be first rate and quite versatile. Guild members are encouraged to come and practice on it, provided the room is free (it is best to call ahead). A receptionist has a list of our members and will direct you to the chapel. Steven Cooksey, in consultation with several of the members, has arranged for the first seven concerts. Each will be shared by two or more musicians, with occasional orchestral instruments or piano. If you are willing/interested in playing on future programs, but are not scheduled for any of the first seven, please contact Dr. Cooksey. We are interested in having a large number of our members perform. - Minutes from WAGO/Orchard Ridge Meeting - Concerts are scheduled for the second Monday monthly beginning with Monday, June 13; concerts will begin at 7 p.m. • Concerts are scheduled through December 2016, with a review to determine continued coordination for additional months/second part in 2017. • Concerts will be theme-based with either a single performer or multiple performers.

Copyright © 2016 Allen Organ Company All Rights Reserved AOC P/N 033-00221-1 Revised 10/2016 ALLEN ORGAN COMPANY For more than sixty years--practically the entire history of electronic organs-- Allen Organ Company has built the finest organs that technology would allow. In 1939, Allen built and marketed the world’s first electronic oscillator organ. The tone generators for this instrument used two hundred forty-four vacuum tubes, contained about five thousand components, and weighed nearly three hundred pounds. Even with all this equipment, the specification included relatively few stops. By 1959, Allen had replaced vacuum tubes in oscillator organs with transistors. Thousands of transistorized instruments were built, including some of the largest, most sophisticated oscillator organs ever designed. Only a radical technological breakthrough could improve upon the performance of Allen’s oscillator organs. Such a breakthrough came in conjunction with the United States Space Program in the form of highly advanced digital microcircuits. In 1971, Allen produced and sold the world’s first musical instrument utilizing digitally sampled voices! Your organ is significantly advanced since the first generation Allen digital instrument.
