DescriptionWhen Titans Duel: Handel vs. Scarlatti in the Baroque Showdown in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactIn early 1700s Rome, Handel and Scarlatti participated in a legendary keyboard duel judged by local nobility. Though equals on the harpsichord, Handel's mastery of the organ gave him the edge. Scarlatti reportedly acknowledged Handel's superiority—an extraordinary moment of respect between two of the Baroque era's greatest composers.__________________________________________________________________About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Ben Cornelius-Bates (Duquesne University) about his musical upbringing in Alaska, his path to composition, and his experiences studying the organ. We also discuss how to write music for the organ, particularly within the context of secular music, and talk about timbre in Maan Varjot by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho for organ and orchestra. Rest in peace to Saariaho, who passed away on June 2, 2023.

Join host Austin Williams as we go through selected modern works for the Organ. The organ has large history in the context of western classical music and the tradition continues with living composers. The instrument offers a vast range of different colors and textures for a composer to explore. In this episode we have examples ranging from traditional, extended techniques, adjustments of intonation, and the use of electronic accompaniment for the instrument. This is a wide topic that we hope to continue to explore as we learn about more works that have been written for this instrument.
The music we choose speaks volumes about us as musicians, whether we realize it or not. It expresses our personal tastes in terms of style, genre, modality, and more. Not only that, our musical choices have the power to amplify the people behind them: from gender to culture, race to religion, the composers themselves are just as much a part of the music we choose as the notes on the page. It's a topic we've discussed on the podcast before, but during Black History Month, I return to one of my favorite interviews of the history of the podcast. I spoke with Dr. Mickey Thomas Terry, organist and lecturer currently based in the Washington, D.C. area. Among Dr. Terry's varied accomplishments is the African-American Organ Music Anthology, which recently released its 10th volume through MorningStar Music Publishers. Dr. Terry's professional work, both through the anthology and his research at large, seek to raise visibility for music by African-American classical composers and give them the opportunity to be played and celebrated today. And so today I replay my discussion with Dr. Terry, sharing his thoughts on the struggles of African-American composers and what we can do today to honor their esteemed work.

"Communion" was written by Louis Vierne (1870-1937). Vierne was greatly influenced by the music of J.S. Bach.

Mother's Organ Music
Mother's Organ Music
"Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming" is a reference to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Johannes Brahms was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the Romantic period. He studied the music of J.S. Bach and used his ideas in his compositions.
A transcript for this episode can be found online, here. Join us for a beautifully reflective Choral Evensong recorded in the University Chapel. We hope you enjoy this time of reflection in word and song. Led by Rev Dr James Garnett, Honorary Methodist Chaplain, with Stuart Muir, Director of Chapel Music; Chapel Scholars and members of the University of Aberdeen Chapel Choir.
This question was sent by Mike, and he writes: “I would like to master a variety of organ music to be able to give a performance. The most important hurdles to overcome are: Being able to work on a consistent fingering to make passages flow smoothly Interpretation of music, registration, Developing and knowing how to make a piece artistically “my own” instead of just playing notes. Many of your podcasts and notes are extremely helpful. Thank you for providing them.”
The German chorale, "Vater unser im Himmelreich" was written by Martin Luther, who paraphrased "The Lord's Prayer." This piece by Georg Böhm (1661-1733) was based on the chorale. He was a Composer who influenced Bach's music.
"Come, Holy Spirit"- Dialogue from "Veni Creator Spiritus" by Nicolas de Grigny (1672-1703). He was a French organist and composer. He wrote one book of Organ music, which J.S. Bach copied. His style permeates the music of Bach.
The German chorale, "Von Gott will ich nicht lassen" ("I don't want to let go of God") was arranged by Johann Michael Bach (1648-1694). He was related through the Bach Family, and was also the father of Maria Barbara Bach, J.S. Bach's first wife.
This week's guest is one Britain's most talented young organists Anna Lapwood. Anna joins me to chat about two great organ traditions, the music of J.S. Bach and the world of French Symphonic Organ and also about how she's reinventing the Organ with both the repertoire she's chosen for her new CD and her projects in the Organ community.

This question was sent by Stephen, and he writes: “At 72 years of age my goal is to play some of Bach's organ music with musicality and appropriate style...i.e. registration ...trills ..phrasing. I have explored the "Little preludes and Fugues" using Soderlund's book on authentic technique for that period. To be able to continue to practice. (I own an Viscount Digital Organ with appropriate AGO standards. I also studied formally with an organist for 2 years) To be able to improve my pedal technique. I have used your Pedal Mastery Course to help in that regard. I purchased it when you first offered it to us. I would like to know other sources of exercises that might help in improving. To be able to memorize even at my age....I find that practicing the organ and piano HELP keep my mind sharp ...Excellent therapy... Stephen”
Where do you put a camera when recording organ music? by Vidas Pinkevicius
This question was sent by Peter. He writes: “My challenges are lack of time, and spending/wasting time on other things(!) i.e. lack of willpower. And I think I need to improve my sight-reading if I am going to improve my overall organ-playing. Also, I hate most 'modern' organ-music. On this subject,it might be interesting if you could explain, in one of your blogs, what anybody 'sees' in sour-sounding, discordant 'modern' music. You know the kind I mean - where you are not sure if the player is making lots of wrong notes, or is this what it is supposed to sound like? Many highly competent professionals like this kind of music, but why? One such person said to me, "It's probably more satisfying to play than to listen to." In that case, why play it to an audience? Another said, "Well, I like it, and I'm going to play what I like." (He meant in a recital.) Is it any wonder that the organ is right at the bottom of the pile, in popularity, with the general public? Where I live, if we get an audience of 40 to a recital, that's very good. Usually, it's 20 or under. The idea is dying on its feet and a lot of it has to do with the kind of music people play, as well as the way in which they play it. (There's another topic for discussion - how is it that some people can play all their pieces absolutely accurately, and the performance is dull and boring, and someone else plays with a few mistakes, but it's exciting and attractive? 'Music' certainly is fascinating, as a subject.) I think you may agree with me that, the basic 'purpose' of music - any music - is to create emotion in the mind of the listener. But if that emotion is one of irritation, annoyance and unpleasantness, why would anyone want to repeat the experience? It makes no sense.”
#AskVidasAndAusra 33 - How to read complex modern organ music? by Vidas Pinkevicius
Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #98! http://www.organduo.lt/podcast Today's guest is an American organist Edward Landin who began his intensive musical training at the St. Thomas Choir School under the direction of Gerre Hancock. Upon his graduation from St. Thomas, he entered Interlochen Arts Academy where he began his organ studies as a student of Thomas Bara. After high school, he attended the Eastman School of Music for two years; he then transferred to Westminster Choir College where he completed his BM in organ performance as a student of Ken Cowan. While at Westminster, he also studied harpsichord with Kathleen Scheide. Further organ studies and coachings have been with Roberta Gary, David Higgs, Susan Landale, Marie-Louise Langlais, Kimberly Marshall, Paula Pugh Romanaux, Kathleen Scheide, and Carole Terry. Edward has been recently appointed Sub Dean of the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Currently Assistant Director of Music at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, his duties include directing numerous children's and handbell choirs and serving as principal accompanist for the 65-member Sanctuary Choir. Edward has previously held positions in New York City (Christ Church, Methodist), Morristown, NJ (St. Peter's Episcopal Church) and in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia (Grace Epiphany Episcopal Church). In addition to recitals at The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine and St. Thomas Church in New York City, and Old West Church, Boston, he has also performed in Germany and Wales as well as on the historic 18th century Andreas Silbermann organ in Strasbourg, France. Edward's achievements as a church musician and performer were most recently recognized when he was named as a member of the “Class of 2017” by The Diapason magazine's program, “20 under 30,” which lifts up young professionals in the world of organ, harpsichord, carillon, and church music. A major interest in contemporary organ music, particularly by American composers, led Edward to commission "E," "Fantasia," and "Parodies" by Kathleen Scheide; "Praeludium" and “Psalm 139” by Pamela Decker; "Prelude on the Carillon d'Alet" by Craig Phillips, and "Exordium" by Carson Cooman. A composer himself, “Flourishes and Reflections – Organ Music for Service or Recital” was recently released by Lorenz. In this conversation, Edward and I talk about his organist career and about his graceful strategy of dedicating his own compositions to other organists and composers.

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #53! (hosted by Vidas PInkevicius, DMA) Secrets of Organ Playing - Helping Reach Your Dreams: http://www.organduo.lt Today's guest is Glenn Tompkins from Mesa, Arizona who is a fellow blogger, artist, improviser on accordion and a great lover of organ music. He has always been fascinated by sound, textures, color and atmosphere. Early in his life he learned to love music, having been drawn to such art by listening to his grandfather play the violin, harmonica, piano, organ and mandolin. His Uncle Walter gave him his 1930's Hohner accordion which stimulated a lifelong fascination with the study of instrumental music. In the 1950's his father provided for him to start music lessons at an accordion school in Bound Brook, New Jersey. From 1960 to 1965 Glenn attended Middlesex High School, then went on to Drew University at Madison, New Jersey from 1965 through 1970. At Drew he initially wanted to major in English, but subsequently decided to change his major to Art (Studio). Around 1967/ 68 he had given up on continuing with the accordion as it seemed to be considered an out-of-date and somewhat unpopular instrument. Somewhere in the vicinity of the years 1999/ 2000, some friends gave him a beautiful vintage Scandalli accordion, a 4/5 reed instrument in LMMH configuration. The Scandalli rekindled his abiding interest in acoustic music, allowing him to experiment with all sorts of tonal blends from those beautiful Italian reeds. Glenn joined YouTube in 2009 and started making music videos to share with the worldwide community under the channel name FromHolbergsTime. Previously he had not realized the potential for making new friends through the sharing of music, but quickly he could see the value of this imaginative and extensive network of musicians, fans and music-lovers. This chapter of Glenn's life has provided exceeding joy as he has rediscovered the positive attributes of folk music, traditional hymns, contemporary praise & worship, improvisation, Classical music, Gospel tunes and popular melodies. In this conversation Glenn talks about the poetry of organ music. Enjoy and share your comments below.
