Performance Aspects in the Organ Works of Sigfrid Karg-Elert
Lecture by Stefan Engels
This lecture / workshop will focus on performance-related aspects in the organ works of Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Aspects of touch, articulation, tempo, registration as well as score analysis will be discussed. Since there are almost no established standards for playing Karg-Elert's organ music compared to the performance standards of composers like deGrigny, Bach, Buxtehude, Mendelssohn, Franck, Reger, Messiaen, this lecture will be especially of interest to all organists. |

Organ & Architecture Tour
An introduction to the long-silent 1889 Frank Roosevelt organ at St. James Roman Catholic Church. The III/36 instrument is one of the least altered of the few remaining organs that bear Roosevelt name plates, and conservation efforts have begun. Sebastian M. Glück will present the history of this organ, from its failed experimental combination action to its odd player mechanism, and play musical examples on the handful of stops that have been brought back to life. |
