- MUSIC NOTES BY REBECCA TE VELDE -

We thank our Chancel Choir, soprano soloist April Golliver, and trumpeters Bennett Frohock and Jack Stemm for their very special musical offerings on this Easter Sunday! Prelude: First we hear an organ transcription of the Prelude to the Te Deum Laudamus (“You Are God, We Praise You) by the French baroque composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier (c. 1634-1704). The Te Deum is a hymn of praise, and one of its verses proclaims, “When you had overcome the sharpness of death, you opened the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.” Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in G major is one of his mature organ works, evidently composed sometime between 1715 and 1725. An extended fanfare-flourish of broken chords begins the Prelude, which unfolds as a blend of north-German toccata and Italian concerto elements. As the fugue begins, the repeated notes of the subject (theme) instill the entire movement with relentless bounce and rhythmic drive. Throughout the work, Bach exploits the full range of the organ, both in the hands and feet. This music embodies Easter joy! Postlude: Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) was a world-renowned organ virtuoso and titular organist of St. Sulpice in Paris for 65 years. He concertized extensively, including in the U.S., and was professor of organ at the Paris Conservatory (succeeding César Franck), and later professor of composition (succeeding Dubois). He wrote many organ works, including ten “symphonies” for organ—works that use the organ in an orchestral manner and are in a multi-movement, symphonic form. This famous Toccata, easily his best-known work, is the final movement from his fifth organ symphony. Anthems: Between 1797 and 1798, Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) wrote his great oratorio The Creation. This amazing and beloved chorus has as its text Ps. 19:1–3.
