Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name Handel means Messiah to most people. Sadly, aside from the D minor Sarabande, little is known of his keyboard works. They are quite different from his predominantly melody and bass style of writing in Messiah and the operas.They sound more like Bach with an added degree of drama In addition the fugues are easier to play than Bach's making them ideal to learn and play before tackling the intricate weaving of voices found throughout Bach's works. Many of his keyboard pieces were be written to be played on harpsichord or organ. Many of the organs were quite small and few had pedalboards. Organs were found in churches but also homes and theaters. From that specific repertoire we have drawn pieces that are best suited for playing at Mass on the organ.The Fugues and Fantasias give you music to play after Mass, the Keyboard Suites music for playing during Mass.Coming from Germany and residing in England, his name appears in a variety of spellings.Noel Jones, AAGO
Download or read book The Catholic Organist s Quarterly Summer written by Noel Jones and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Music Library is proud to present the last in our first series of books of organ music for the Liturgical Year. After the great Feasts of Easter and Pentecost, and the solemnity of Trinity Sunday and Corpus Christi, we embark upon the long summer and fall days of Ordinary Time, which can seem to stretch inexorably into a never-ending future. Without an overarching "theme" it can be a challenge to keep a sense of musical direction in a period where there are few feast days. Noel Jones has met this challenge and has succeeded in creating a truly useful selection of pieces that will make Ordinary Time fizz with interest and musical satisfaction. When Noel first talked about this project with me, we both agreed that it would be great to "over deliver". By that, we wanted to see volumes that would have more music than any other comparable volume on the market; enough that organists would be able to return year after year and still gain something new. I believe that this has proved to be the case, and a discussion with a Quarterly subscriber at the recent NPM Convention in Cincinnati has shown this to be true. is particular organist said that it would probably take him five years to play all the music in these volumes. That is exactly what we wanted this series of books to be. In addition to a broad selection of preludes and postludes, Noel has also established a Wedding section in this volume, where you may find excellent choices for the lengthy wedding preludes that we are often called upon to fill. In addition, Noel has included some more choral anthems. This was an excellent idea in the last issue, and it allows these timeless works to be heard at mass, even where there is not a choir available to sing them in their original form. Their harmonic structure is uniquely suited for inclusion in the sacred liturgy. This set of four books has truly been a labor of love. Noel has maintained its high standard of excellence throughout, both in terms of the music selected, and the quality of the engraving. In this he has been sup- ported and assisted with great diligence and skill by his wife, Ellen Doll Jones, a professional organist of high caliber herself, together with the excellent team of engravers at Frog Music Press. The Verdin Co. has been honored to be associated with such an impressive and important contribution to the musical resources available to Catholic Church musicians, and we hope that all four volumes will continue to provide you with a rich source of inspiration for many years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An organist playing for Catholic Mass must wear at least two hats. It is written in the General Instruction to the Roman Missal that music in the Mass should not delay the Mass. During the Mass, the organ may be played as a solo instrument during the processions, the entrance, offertory and communion as well as other brief processions. These do not call for "traveling music" but solemn music that reflects the nature of the Liturgy. And these brief processions require music that is even shorter in length that the usual procession. Playing an organ before the Mass and a Postlude after Mass are not mention in the GIRM nor is a recessional hymn because these are not part of the Mass in any way. When the priest says "the Mass is over..." it is over. At this point an organ postlude is appropriate and Catholic congregations, if they have sung the Mass, have no need to sing yet another hymn so the tradition of organ postudes is returning. Here's the other hat. Instead of searching out more and more short pieces, here you, the organist may dig through your library and freely play music of any length.Plan when to begin the Prelude so that you complete playing before the start of Mass. The Postlude may be aa long as you wish.
