1692 Schnitger organ at the St. Ludgeri Church, Norden, The Netherlands
Sonic Solutions
From the subtle magic of a single flute stop to the glorious roar of an entire instrument in song, this week's program explores just a few of the auditory adventures available to organists. Baroque chorale variations and Psalm fantasies, trumpet tunes, symphonic poems, a virtuoso etude for pedals alone, and a racy romp for two performers at one console are just a few of the possibilities exhibited by our talented friends.
Gustav Leonhardt, Virgil Fox and several others each provide unique responses to musical challenges as we continue our never ending search for Sonic Solutions.
