JS Bach complete works for organ: listen now! In June 2009, University Organist Dr. Robert Huw Morgan embarked on a year-long series of recitals in honor of the 25th anniversary of the majestic Fisk-Nanney organ in Stanford’s Memorial Church. The programs consisted, quite simply, of the complete works for organ by another career organist, Johann Sebastian Bach. The Stanford Music Library is pleased to present streaming audio of these fourteen recitals through our website. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) built an early reputation as one of the greatest organists and organ experts of his time.

The Fisk-Nanney Organ is named after organ builder Charles Fisk and longtime Stanford University organist Herbert Nanney. Dr. Thanks go to Jon Manton (Archive of Recorded Sound) and Geoff Willard (Media Preservation Lab) for preparing the streaming audio files for this site. Tobias Hume. Music Tobias Hume wanted to offer something special, to set himself off from others: He wanted to publish his own work and not arrangements of foreign pieces. This is indicated in the preface of the first part of Ayres where he writes: my studies are far from servile imitations, I robbe no other inventions...

These are my own Phansies... Hume's main innovations lay in the fact that he transferred known lute and bandora repetory to the viola da gamba and that he was the first to publish music for solo viola da gamba (lyra viol) as well as for several violas da gamba. The texts appearing in some of the songs reflect his personal joys, interest and problems : soldiery (The Soldiers Song), music, love (Tobacco, Fain would I change that note) as well as deep sorrow and dispair (Alas poor men, What greater griefe). Two more pieces are dedicated to this visit in this same work: The King of Denmarkes delight and King of Denmarkes health. References William V.

Two of the most important facets of musicianship are the challenge of making music with at least one other human, and the opportunity to deal with actual repertoire. For both reasons, I don't see much point in wasting time on "exercise music" -- the single-line junk used to fill those horrific music-by-committee textbooks such as the one by Berkowitz, Fontrier, and Kraft. Why spend your valuable time learning dumb textbook-tunes that, in the end, don't belong anywhere in the world, except as part of some dreary chapter in a yet-to-be-written history of music pedagogy? The subtitle of this section might have been "Is there life before Bach?

" A number of years ago, I began collecting as many two-part pieces as I could find by the generation of composers active roughly in the years 1475-1550. So far, I have edited about three hundred of these compositions. Music. MANOSCRITTI MUSICALI TRENTINI DEL '400. Untitled. Untitled. - UCSB English Broadside Ballad Archive. Bodleian Library Broadside Ballads. Sound Files A small number of ballads have music notation. Where this is present and musically coherent a sound file (MIDI file) has been added which plays the notation.

The frequent minor errors in the notation (e.g. missing dots for dotted notes) have been silently corrected; more major errors or inconsistencies in the notation are rendered as given.
