Pieces d'orgue et de claveçin : the complete music for organ and harpsichord

Louis Marchand’s fiery temperament is well documented. It led to a series of encounters with his peers that included shirking a competition with JS Bach, being sued for domestic violence, being sacked for impertinence towards Louis XIV, and an attempt to defame the priest-organist of Saint-Barthélemy, Paris, a position that had been bequeathed to Marchand by the outgoing organist, his father-in-law Robert Denis

Pieces d'orgue et de claveçin (1702/4 and 1711) : the complete music for organ and harpsichord

Louis-Nicolas Clérambault is primarily known for his vocal compositions and, that he was a master in such genres becomes clear for those performing either his harpsichord or organ pieces. In comparison with his other publications, Clérambault’s keyboard music is somewhat meagre, but demonstrates a vocal composer’s infinite attention to detail and a rhetorical plan that that sets it apart from other composers of the Grand siècle.

Premier livre d?orgue (1699)

Alongside the organ music of François Couperin and Louis-Nicolas Clérambault, Nicolas de Grigny’s only publication marks the apogee of Grand siècle organ music. The 1699 book contains a complete organ mass and alternatim settings of the five principal hymns for use at the more important feasts of the church year. How it was received at the time is unknown, yet the publication was considered of sufficient value to have been independently copied by JS Bach and JG Walter and was also reprinted in 1711 by the Paris publisher, Christophe Ballard.

Romjulsdrøm : Christmas Dream

Digtet Romjulsdrøm udkom første gang i Arbeiderbladet den 3. januar 1959 og blev kendt, da Thoralf Borg satte en melodi til det i 1968. Indtil da havde Alf Prøysen brugt en melodi, der ligner sangen Lijan uti. dalen, da han sang sangen i tv-programmet Ei vise vil jeg synge i 1964. Samtidig med at Borgs melodi blev skrevet, blev de sidste fire tekstlinjer også føjet til digtet, og sangen fik den form, vi kender i dag. Formen og opbygningen af ​​dette arrangement stammer fra en version for bigband og vokal bestilt af Østre Toten Storband, skrevet i 2018 til en af ​​deres traditionelle midnatskoncerter dagen før jul. I et forsøg på at give arrangementet en dejlig ro og teksten en masse plads, som det ofte er tilfældet i sange som denne, endte det i en forholdsvis fortællende stil, hvor variationen i tempo og skift mellem swing og lige ottendedels toner. er særligt centrale. Sangen handler om familie, venskab og juleferiens stille dage, som forhåbentlig er noget, de fleste kan genkende. Arrangementet til førnævnte midnatskoncert blev bestilt, fordi min søster skulle være solist til koncerten, og da min far også spillede lead-basun - som han har gjort det i dette big band, så længe jeg kan huske - var det naturligt at tilføj også en lille trombonesolo. Det er altid specielt at skrive og arrangere musik for folk, jeg kender og sætter pris på, men det er ekstra specielt, når det også er for to af mine store forbilleder. - David Sætre Hveem -
