Download or read book The Renewal of Early Music Performance Practice Pedagogy and Organ Building in the United States written by Andrew Benjamin Koch and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti-Romantic trends in early twentieth century Europe, spreading to North America by mid-century, drove an organ renewal defined by historical elements reintroduced in a modern paradigm. Fueled by factors including international study exchanges after the Second World War and recordings made on antique instruments, complementary developments in performance practice, pedagogy, and organ building brought a robust historically informed movement into mainstream American organ culture. The historically informed idealism mixed with American eclecticism to produce a new, uniquely American style: organs built for stylistic flexibility with core characteristics borrowed from specific historical models and selective use of historically informed performance techniques in the pursuit of subjective beauty.

Download or read book The Influence of American Organ Building and American Hymnody on William Bolcom s Gospel Preludes for Organ written by William Fletcher Bryant and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the construction of the American organ and its influence on modern compositions, in particular William Bolcom’s Gospel Preludes. To better understand these compositions, the history of American hymnody and gospel music is studied as it directly relates to the American organs of the time. This dissertation provides players a new perspective on Bolcom’s work in relation to both hymnody and the evolution of the American organ. It investigates the specific innovations of American organ building and provides an in-depth analysis of these works and their performance on an American classic instrument. This investigation will use the development of American hymnody and gospel music as it directly influences specific traits of these works and their relationship to changes on the American organ. After reading this dissertation, performers of these pieces will be able to successfully approach them and add Bolcom to their repertoire list, bringing new life to these compositions for many audiences. Chapter One presents the academic perimeters for the study, identifying the need for academic scholarship on the subject. Chapter Two is a survey of the development of the American organ from the colonial period to the present day, including both theater and Hammond organs. Chapter Three covers the development of American hymnody, tracking musical styles that defined the musical influences of the hymns used in Bolcom’s work. Since the preludes are heavily influenced by the specific style of gospel music, Chapter Four brings the historical aspects of this movement to light and explains how its traits influenced performance practices on American music. Chapter Five is an in-depth investigation of Bolcom’s preludes to illustrate how all three of these elements are necessary to understand the full potential of these works.

Download or read book Louis Vierne written by Rollin Smith and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis Vierne (1870-1937), a student of C�sar Franck and Charles-Marie Widor, was organist of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris for 37 years, until his death at the console during a recital. Widor's successor as the organ's great French symphonist - an assessment the passage of time has proved correct - Vierne's music has remained in the repertoire of organists throughout the world, never undergoing the periodic eclipses experienced by his contemporaries. Vierne's autobiography, Mes Souvenirs, originally published serially in the 1930s, is here available in a profusely illustrated, extensively annotated English translation. Rollin Smith's Louis Vierne: Organist of Notre Dame Cathedral is the first major study of the great organist of Notre-Dame and includes chapters on his American tour, recordings, contemporary reminiscences, definitive textual corrections, the organ symphonies, his death and succession, and a thematic catalogue of his organ works.
