*************************************
“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” - Johann Sebastian Bach
*************************************
Besides being one of Bach’s longest organ works, the Prelude and Fugue in E minor (BWV 548) is also one of the most sophisticated. It is a Leipzig work, perhaps dating from 1727-32. The Prelude is a multi-sectional structure, as large as a ritornello concerto first-movement, whose effect mirrors the gravitas implied by such a structure. As with other works in E minor, Bach explores the key chromatically. The Prelude falls into three substantial sections, the first containing two statements of the initial material; the second introducing contrasting manual-only episodes of dotted sequences, and the third section closing the movement with a look back at the opening material. This grand Prelude is matched by a complex Fugue. It is the turning nature of the subject that gives BWV 548 its nickname, the subject again tracing (completely this time) the descent of the chromatic fourth. The structures of the Fugue see interspersed sections that sound like improvisation, producing a mesmerizing form mixing together notions of a toccata or praeludium, or the bravura passagework found in some harpsichord concertos. Combined, these forms - with the ‘da capo’ repeat in the final section - highlight both lament (the descending fourth) and virtuosity (the toccata sections). BWV 548 is highly valued by lovers and connoisseurs of Bach’s organ music, with the nineteenth century Bach scholar, Spitta, referring to it as ‘a two-part symphony’. It is possible to speculate that this awesome work was composed for a special occasion, but nothing is known about Bach’s organ performances in Leipzig (although information can be sourced about his organ recitals in other cities, where he enjoyed his virtuoso status). Such a superior work certainly requires a superior organ, and the Bach biographer, Christoph Wolff, put forward the organ of the Paulinerkirche as a possible candidate. This Scheibe instrument, inspected by Bach himself in 1717, had 53 speaking stops, three manuals and pedal, and was one of the largest and finest organs in Germany at the time. As the Paulinerkirche also served as a university church, it would have been attended by an audience that really appreciated this composition. To quote Wolff: "In this university auditorium, this seat of learning, people sat with bated breath before the absolute authority in the area of music in Leipzig” (J S Bach in person!)
*************************************
“Beloved Bach” was commissioned from me in 2022 as a Golden Wedding Anniversary present from a man to his wife: I was asked to record one piece of Bach organ music for her every week for a year - and that each recording should be ‘delivered’ every Sunday. The lady who is the beneficiary of this quite extraordinary gift is a very knowledgeable devotee of the great Baroque Master and always referred to her favourite composer as her true 'Beloved'.
I know that every organist is a Bach expert (or at least commonly has firm opinions on how the music should be played and interpreted) however these recordings are not offered in any way to proclaim myself as some kind of Bach specialist - rather just as someone who shares with the recipient of this extraordinary gift a love of this astonishing music. As these videos are being released throughout the year, one on each Sunday of the liturgical calendar, some pieces are particular or relevant to that specific release day while others are not chosen with this in mind. Many of the pieces that are in this collection were chosen with a certain amount of knowledge of the person to whom this gift is dedicated, in as much as many of her favourites (some of which are lesser-known pieces) are included. All the recordings are ‘live’ in as much as my limited knowledge of videography hasn’t expanded yet to ‘splicing’, however where there are two movement pieces, generally there were two separate takes. I hope you enjoy these recordings - please subscribe to be notified when each new recording is released.

    I am so appreciate of your year long - is “labour of love” the right phrase? Whatever, I am very appreciative of you selection of Bach compositions and, today, your use of the Friesach sample set which ai also use from time to time. It suits some Bach very well. I notice you had the Hauptwerk on manual 2. I have it set on manual 1 - maybe wrongly? - so interesting to see how you, a professional, set it up.
