Question for organists
on: January 23, 2007, 05:26:14 PM
(or other familiar with organ repertoire)...
I'm not super-familiar with the organ repertoire, but I'm looking for a piece for organ written since 1950. Avant-garde would be cool to explore, but it doesn't have to be. Nothing super-hard though. My playing level of organ is roughly eaiser Bach preludes and fugues for organ, or the Orgelbuchlein, and so on. Most of my organ literature is Bach, so I really know almost nothing of modern works for organ. Any suggestions?

poulenc's concerto for organ.
did you know that leroy anderson's mother played the organ in church and first taught him keyboard on the organ. only when he was 11 did he move to piano lessons. several works of his were recently (or not so recently now) discovered.

or how about samuel barber's adagio for strings - arranged for organ.

Gustav Holst wrote rather a nice concerto for Trombone and Organ. I'm not sure of the difficulty.
I'll trade answers for a registration question: I was trying to duplicate that thing they do on the organ at hockey arenas - it modulates through several keys then ends with charge. I had trouble figuring what stops to use. I had the sound in my head, but couldn't get there from the church organ.

I would use a lot of the mixtures for that.
