[ ]Bayoubüchlein New Chorale Preludes

AGO Houston 2016organ solos n 160-616 n $50

This distinctive new collection of organ music for the liturgical year was commissioned for the 2016 National Convention

of the American Guild of Organists in Houston. The title refers to J. S. Bach’s volume of chorale-based organ works and Houston’s Gulf Coast waterways. Realizing that newer hymn tunes often

lacked chorale preludes, the convention’s new music committee decided that each piece in this collection would be based on a hymn tune composed since 1960. The works chosen are a combination of pieces commissioned by the convention and

pieces selected from an open “call for scores.”

Commissioned composers Chelsea Chen (Bethold) David Dahl (dunedin)

Nancy Galbraith (Mississippi) Anne Roberts (seed, scattered and sown)

Aaron David Miller (rejoice, rejoice) Rebecca Groom te Velde (judas and Mary)

the estate of Bishop Chilton Powell and his wife Elizabeth. Some pieces are published for the

first time, and a few are new editions of out of print material composed by individuals important

during AAM’s history. Most of the works are relatively brief in duration and based on hymn

This dignified treatment of the familiar hymn nicaea (“Holy, holy, holy”) would make an excellent postlude for any time in the church year. Fedak takes the tune through seven key

areas before returning to a sturdy presentation of the entire tune in the home key of D.

Scherzo OstinatoAlfred V. Fedak


This exciting concert scherzo is based on a theme by Thomas Ravenscroft. The work begins

quickly but quietly, with an apprehensive atmosphere. The music gains in energy and

volume, building towards a dramatic conclusion. An impressive (though only moderately difficult)

work for recital, or Lenten postlude.

Beethoven’s hyMn to joy receives a congregational hymn setting by Fedak that will prove useful for festal occasions. The music begins with an extended organ toccata as an

ebullient introduction. This is followed by a straight-forward but engaging organ and congregational setting that will

require almost no preparation time, thus allowing for spending rehearsal time on other music.

Craig Phillips’s signature organ style is on full display in this colorful partita on the familiar Thanksgiving hymn “Now Thank We All Our

God.” Structured without break, the music begins with a dramatic introduction and continues on to several different contemplative treatments of the tune before a rousing fughetta turns into a

toccata to bring the work to a glorious ending.

Commissioned for the Taylor Organ Competition of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, this large-scale concert piece by

Craig Phillips displays all his hallmark color and brilliance. The outer sections are fast and bright, while the extended inner section is slow, lush,

and expressive.

Prelude on the Carillon d’Alet

Craig Phillipsorgan solo n 160-853 n $10

Written as a companion piece for his fugue, Craig Phillips’s prelude is inspired by the distinctive character of Duruflé’s beloved

“Scherzo.” As with the fugue, the musical theme is derived from the bells of the Eglise-St. André in the village of Alet-les-Bains, France. The prelude may be used to precede the fugue, or it can also

stand alone as its own work.

Fugue on the Carillon d’Alet


The composer writes: “This piece is based on the bells of the Eglise-St. André in the village of

Alet-les-Bains, France. This is a somewhat fanciful interpretation of the simple, but very interesting two-tone angelus that is heard three times daily

from the bell tower of the church, which is adjacent to the ruins of the 11th century Notre-

Dame Abbey.”

Three Pastoral ScenesCraig Phillips

organ, violin, and bassoon n 160-935 n $25

Phillips has written a number of effective pieces of chamber music involving organ. This suite employs the unusual combination of

violin and bassoon with organ. The three short movements each have a different character: a bucolic andante grazioso first

movement (perhaps depicting the gentle countryside), a warm and gently lyrical movement with a flowing texture (perhaps a brook scene), and a very energetic, rustic dance finale. Score

includes reproducible parts for instrumentalists.

These moderately easy piano pieces are treatments of three hymn tunes: the Welsh

tune avon (also known as MartyrdoM), the Sacred Harp melody a song of texas, and

one of White’s original tune (garden district). Expressive and lyrically pianistic, the pieces are suitable for service preludes and interludes; or all

three together as a concert suite.

Biblical SketchesDavid Schelat

organ and trumpet n 160-924 n $15

Commissioned for the 2015 Pittsburgh Regional Convention of the American Guild of Organists. The two movements explore very contrasting moods,

forming either an effective concert diptych or a prelude and postlude for services. The first movement is a quiet rhapsody depicting creation

emerging from the earth “without form and void.” The hymn tune Bunessan makes subtle appearances. The second movement depicts David’s dance before the ark in a rondo of energetic praise. Though the first movement in particular requires great expressive musicianship, the diptych is only of moderate difficulty overall, and the trumpet part does not go above an A--

making it useful for amateur or professional players alike.

This two movement treatment of the English folk hymn Kingsfold was commissioned for the 2015 Pittsburgh Mid-Atlantic Regional Convention of the American Guild of Organists. The expressive

prelude begins with a lush, broad treatment with the melody presented in the pedal on a 4’ stop. A brief, celeste interlude leads to a flowing, plainchant-like setting before the mysterious celeste music returns to close. The ebullient toccata takes the

hymn through a variety of keys with a perpetually moving texture.

Powell has composed six preludes on early American hymn tunes: lenox (“Blow Ye the Trumpet Blow”), BaBel’s streaMs (“By the Waters of Babylon”), the saint’s delight (“In Adam We Have All Been One”), saManthra (“Isaiah the Prophet”),

savannah (“Jesus, Lord, We Look to Thee”), and Bethel (“O for a Closer Walk with God”). The beautiful and ruggedly

modal character of the original tunes is respected and highlighted in Powell’s accessible settings.

A Mohawk River SuiteAlfred V. Fedak

keyboards, flute, voice n 160-926 n $25

Originally composed for a house concert involving various keyboard instruments (harpsichord, piano, and organ), flute, and singers, this

work can also be seen as an anthology of musical settings and variations on the familiar hymn “Shall We Gather at the River?” The

keyboard movements in various historical musical styles can be easily adapted for any keyboard instrument or performance context. Several of the movements with voice could be used as stand-alone settings,

and there is also an ornamented baroque-style air for flute and keyboard that would make an effective offertory. The suite concludes

with a solo organ toccata: an excellent postlude.
