Four Baroque Organs in Bavaria
padFour Baroque Organs in Bavaria
pad
The baroque Bavarian organs, usually of one manual, focus on the diapason chorus with only a few flute and string stops, and instead of a fully chromatic pedal keyboard up to at least middle C, the range is limited to the bass up to A below middle C at best, with a broken low octave. Norbert Düchtel demonstrates four of these organs from the 18th century, playing repertoire of the period which is seldom heard. The organs heard are: the 1637 organ in the gallery of the Basilica at Vornbach am Inn; an organ built in 1703 by an anonymous builder and located at the Nebenkirche St. Johann in Regen; a ca. 1715 organ attributed to Johann Baptist Funtsch; and a ca. 1740 organ attributed to Johann Konrad Brandenstein.

Students at Piteå School of Music have the opportunity and advantage . . . to learn older repertoire with the right sounds in their ears . . . and the issue of authentic fingering; as well as the challenge posed by the sub-semitones and the short octave in the bass.” Hyperion 2-CD set

Retaining what he could, Matthias Hartmann, an apprentice of Schnitger’s, built a new instrument in 1753. Jörg Dutschke recently restored it to its 1753 condition and it is played here by Barry Jordan, organist at the cathedral in nearby Magdeburg.

Johann Ludwig Krebs (1713-1780) is considered, beyond Bach’s own sons, as the most significant of J. S. Bach’s pupils. Krebs developed in his works an individual style, combining Baroque elements with the “new” sensitive and gallant style in a way in which no other did and exploited the tonal possibilities of the organ. In this series, Beatrice-Maria and Gerhard Weinberger play in very large south German abbeys and churches where the famous large organs by Gabler and Holzhay were built to exploit the rising gallant style.

Johann Kaspar Kerll (1627-1693), born in Saxony of a Protestant organist, converted to Catholicism and worked for many years in Vienna. The transmission of Kerll’s music is fragmentary — at least 11 operas and many other works are lost. Several motets, masses and keyboard works survive. This recording concerns Kerll’s organ works, nearly all of which show a strong Italian influence. With consummate musicality, Matthias Krampe plays the organ from 1689 in the church of St. Veit am Vogau (Steiermark, Austria), restored in 2002 by Kuhn. Kerll may have played this organ when it was in Mariazell.

One of the world's unique organ situations exits at the resonant Ögryte New Church (built ca. 1880) in Göteborg, Sweden: the 3m Henry Willis organ built for St. Stephen's, Hampstead, is intact and relocated to a large transept gallery of the Ögryte Church in 1998; in the rear gallery is an astonishingly successful copy of the 3m organ completed in 1692 by Arp Schnitger for the Jacobi Church in Hamburg, the creation of a team of organbuilders, scientists, musicologists, and craftsmen of the Göteborg Organ Art Center (Go-Art) at Göteborg University. Erland Hildén, organist of the Örgryte Church, demonstrates both organs.

Bach knew Ariadne Musica, composed in 1702, quoting one theme from it in the Well-Tempered Clavier, perhaps in tribute to Fischer’s 20 preludes and fugues composed in 19 of the 24 chromatic keys to demonstrate an equal-beating temperament. Blumen-Strauss (Floral Bouquet) is an anthology of 8 suites of 8 pieces in each that almost certainly were composed for use in church services, as are 5 Ricercars based on well-known hymns.

The Schnitger at St. Jacobi in Hamburg, Germany, may represent the most important organ restoration in history. The famed Jürgen Ahrend meticulously studied the jumble of material and information resulting from earlier rebuildings and World War II bombs, then rewove it in 1993 as Arp Schnitger surely must have built this magnificent and large instrument in 1692. Konstantin Reimayer plays works which must have been known to this organ when the works were recently composed!

The Sun Organ is named for the remarkable case built by Johann Conrad Büchau ca. 1700 for the large Church of St. Peter and Paul in the German town of Görlitz on the Nei_e River at the border with Poland. Büchau dispersed 17 “suns” symmetrically over the front of the case, arranging pipes of the Pedal Mixture XII as the spokes of a wheel in each “sun” and capping the center of each with a golden disc. Within the case was a 3m organ of 57 stops completed after six years of effort, in 1703, by the famed Eugenio Casparini who was 74 years old when he started the project in 1697. It became the most famous organ in Silesia, but Andreas Silbermann wrote after a visit, “I would be much more fond of it if I had not played and heard it myself . . .” It was entirely replaced in 1928 by an electropneumatic organ which no longer played by 1978 and was removed from the historic case, wherein the famous “Sun Mixture” remained along with 29 pipes of a wooden Onda Maris. Mathis built a brand new organ in the case in 1997, with 64 stops on three manuals including 2 stops at 32’ pitch as well as recreations of stops and devices in the original Sun organ, including several bird calls and drums. The musical Reinhard Selliger plays.
