  • A Pedal Study of Johann Sebastian Bach's Orgelbüchlein
    A Pedal Study of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orgelbüchlein A document proposal submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Division of the College-Conservatory of Music April, 2013 by Yoonnah L. Lee BM, Ewha Womans University, Korea, 2002 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2005 Committee Chair: Roberta Gary, DMA ABSTRACT This study explores diverse figures in the pedal passages in Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orgelbüchlein in order to improve pedal technique by a more effective practice style. The Orgelbüchlein has been thought to include easy pieces that are usually played by beginning students. One of the reasons for this belief is that the pieces are short. In fact, however, none of the chorale settings in the Orgelbüchlein are easy to play. Their various levels of difficulty and styles prove Bach’s pedagogical purpose. I will take full advantage of the obbligato pedal writing in the Orgelbüchlein to develop a pedal technique for music composed before 1750. This study provides pedal exercises according to level of difficulty with directions for practicing included. These pedal exercises based on the Orgelbüchlein will challenge organ students in the great variety they include. ii Copyright © 2013 by Yoonnah L. Lee. All rights reserverd. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My long journey of graduate studies at CCM would not have been possible without the support of many people. I would like to acknowledge my advisor, Dr. Roberta Gary. Her teaching and mentorship throughout the completion of my studies will always be remembered with a profound gratitude.

  • Christ Ist Erstanden" Has a Long
    ?\ /'CHRIST 1ST ERSTANDEN:^ STUDY OF A GERMAN CHORALE TRADITION by KATHY SUE IRWIN B. A., Sterling College, Sterling, KS, 1983 A MASTER'S THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music History KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1986 Approved by: m c-- <£ CONTENTS Chapter I: From "Ruf" to "Lied" 1 Chapter II: Chorale Variants of Reformation Times 22 Chapter III : Rennaisance Polyphonic Settings 40 Bibliography 83 li Chapter One: From "Ruf" to "Lied" The German chorale "Christ ist erstanden" has a long, complex historical development and tradition in the German church. Evolved long before the Reformation, it was known and loved by Catholic and Protestant alike. References to "Christ ist erstanden," whether under the label of "chorale", "hymn", "Leise", or "Rufe" reach as far back into church records as the 1 twelfth-century. Always a possession of the people — or as Germans would say "Volk" — "Christ ist erstanden" has come to be cherished by German musicians as one of the oldest church songs 2 to originate in the German vernacular. To trace the growth of "Christ ist erstanden" into a chorale, we must examine various professional opinions of researchers, outright references to "Christ ist erstanden" in a wide variety of resources, and vague notations of traditions which may or may not actually refer to "Christ ist erstanden" which appear in the oldest sources. The first scholar to begin serious study on "Christ ist erstanden" was Hoffmann von Fallersleben; he was most instrumental in beginning the research of the chorale and publicizing it in 1832.

Speak to us now 1 Peter 2:24 as the Scripture is read and proclaimed, that we may know your presence Trusting in God’s grace, and be filled with gladness let us confess our sin. in our hearts. Amen. Living God, we confess Before the readings: that we look for the living among the dead. Listen for the voice of the Good Shepherd, We are foolish and slow to believe who calls you by name. the promise of the prophets.
