Topic: Rondino and Pastorale in F (Organteq)
At first, I do not understand why I have uploaded some pieces only to shared files and not made a video. And why I have a piece on youtube but not uploaded it here. Well, probably getting old and forgetful sometimes I try to fix it now, we have many new members who have not listened to old shared files.
And with 2000 pieces of music in recordings, and the number is constantly increasing, an uploaded piece drowns quite quickly in the crowd.
Here are two:
1) William Wolstenholme Rondino (Organteq)
Here is again another composer most of you probably not have listened to, He was blind from birth. I think the music is charming and enjoyable. And, NOTICE, with a nice extended coda !
I noticed there are missing two stops in one section in the video, the fortissimo part, sorry for that.
William Wolstenholme was born in Blackburn, Lancashire on 24 February 1865. He was blind from birth. In 1888 he was appointed organist and choirmaster of St Paul’s Church, Blackburn. Fourteen years later he accepted the post of organist at All Saint’s Church Norfolk Square, educated at the Worcester College for the Blind Sons of Gentlemen.
Rondino" was published in 1903 by Alfred Lengneck and Co., Ltd. It is without dedication.
I think it is attractive and very enjoyable.
2) Bach BWV 590 Pastorale in F (Organteq)
Testing my new Organteq registration. I like the Organteq sound, gives many possibilities to sounds one can not get with sampled organs.(have uploaded this before but to Shared files too, no video).
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Interesting, I found out that during his lifetime, he was a respected organ expert who was often consulted when organs were to be built or repaired !
When was this written?
It comprises of four sections, (Pastorale, Allemande, Aria and Gigue) and is thought by most scholars to have been written for performance during the Christmas services held at the main Leipzig churches with which Bach was closely associated. The work was therefore written presumably around the year 1720.
I hope you appreciate the historical information
