• The Pieces for Solo Harpsicord
• Notes on performence by David Ladbetter

From the FOREWORD by Ketil Haugsand, Prof. Emeritus, Hochschule für Musik Köln:

"It is pleasing to see a new edition of the works of a composer who, among his contemporaries, can be justifiably characterised as an unsung hero. Paris towards the end of the Grand Siècle was an exciting landscape in which publishing music for the harpsichord began to flourish. Encompassing a period that started with the engraving of Jean Henry D’Anglebert’s Pièces de Clavecin in 1689 and found its apogee in the polished publications of François Couperin some twenty-five years later, it was a time when the precocious 23-year-old Jean-Philippe Rameau and the slightly older and more tempestuous Louis Marchand obtained Privilèges du Roy, enabling their music to be published by a new generation of music engravers. And it was this world that Gaspard Le Roux entered with just a single volume, only for him to disappear just over a year after its publication.

As performers, we have many composers’ works available in facsimile. Most are quite readable, and some, such as D’Anglebert’s splendid 1689 publication, are true monuments to engraving. But a modern edition is always necessary, as it makes the music accessible to many and while we may enjoy the originals, one that is out of the box and without the need to read unfamiliar clefs or decipher crooked beams is a practical solution for many of today’s restless musicians.

In our world, baroque music needs to be performed with a sense of its cultural and historical context, since it is only then that it can properly justify itself. Modern editions have an important role in helping us to do this by widening our knowledge and understanding. They are all the more laudable when meticulous research provides a starting point for us to give the music the credit and acknowledgement it deserves.

Now it is up to performers to show their gratitude to the composer by allowing his music to sing and live again."

The lyrics is in Norwegian, English and German in this edition.
The aim with this organ version of Peter and the Wolf has been to give the work an imaginative and colourful effect. The performance also leads to promote interest in the organ as an instrument.

Sergei Prokofiev composed the musical fairy tale Peter and the Wolf after his return to the So-viet Union in 1936. Natalya Sats, director of the Moscow Musical Theatre for Children, suggested that he should write a work for children. She gave him some ideas for a story, as her intention was that children should become acquainted with the instruments of the symphony orchestra. Prokofiev then wrote both the libretto and the music.

The work was first performed on 2 May 1936, with Natalya Sats as narrator. Peter and the Wolf is subtitled "A symphonic fairy tale for children" and is the earliest work of this genre in musical history. The characters of the drama are represented by individual instruments, with the intention of illustrating the different instrumental sounds to the audience of children.

Prokofiev’s use of various musical themes for each character makes the music suitable for adaptatation to the organ. Most organs have registers which imitate orchestral instruments, such as oboe, flute, bassoon and trumpet. If the organ lacks one or more of these registers, it should be possible to find alternative registrations which suit the character in question. This musical fairy tale makes for a unique opportunity to present the various colours of the organ.

Regarding performance:
Each organist will need to find characteristic colours based on the individual instrument’s tonal resources. Suggestions are intended for inspiration and guidance.

Dissonant und eindrucksvoll

Christian Sindings „Hymnus“ Opus 124 ist sein einziges Werke für Orgel, gewidmet dem Amerikaner George Eastman (1854-1932). Eastman wurde als Erfinder des Fotofilms bekannt, und er war auch ein Philanthrop, der große Summen für gemeinnützige und kulturelle Zwecke spendete.

1921-1922 lehrte Sinding in einer Gastprofessur in Theorie und Komposition an der Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York und „Hymnus“ wurde in Rochester komponiert. Augusta Sinding schrieb in einem Brief an George Eastman, dass „Hymnus als Dankeschön komponiert wurde für all das was Eastman für die Musik getan habe und tun wird.“ Dies Werk war Christian Sindings Möglichkeit, seine Dankbarkeit auszudrücken

Diese Ausgabe basiert auf Christian Sinding eigenem Originalmanuskript, ergänzt um die kritische Überprüfung von Anders Eidsten Dahl.
