2 Foreord old 1th is one of the great tunes for psalm singing that arose from the Calvinist reform movement. Its original source is Trente quarte psaumes de David, Geneva, The Partita may be performed as a hole or by selecting individual movements as needed. Congregational singing in alternatim ith various movements is another option. Registrations are given for the Op. 19, John Brombaugh & Associates organ at Central Lutheran Church, Eugene, Oregon. Performers are encouraged to find alternative registrations suitable for other organs. 1. The old 1th Genevan Psalter Tune: A straightforard harmonization of the tune ith Zischenspiel interludes beteen each phrase as, and still is, customary in Reformed churches in the Netherlands. Singing tempos ere, and still remain, quite slo.. Canons: This movement utilizes canons at both the octave and fourth above the bass voice in trio form, using three different tonal colors.. Fauxbourdon: Parallel harmony ith a false bass (fauxbourdon) as practiced in 15th- and 16thcentury England.. Bicinium: With the old 1th tune in the top voice, a second loer voice provides a contrasting counterpoint, all of hich is heard on a single flute register at pitch (sounding one octave higher than ritten). 5. Ritornello: A brief dance-like interlude (ritornello) returns beteen each phrase of the old 1th tune. 6. Double Pedal: With the hands at rest, the right foot plays the tune hile the left foot supplies an accompanying voice belo. 7. Harpeggio: The single line of continuous eighth notes, intermittently carrying the notes of the old 1th tune, is similar to the plucking of a harp. 8. Aria: An ornamented solo melody is set over continuously pulsating harmony cast in a lyric cantabile style. 9. Fugue: This three-voice fugue, based on the first phrase of old 1th, is ritten in the manner of the fugues of Felix Mendelssohn (and thus the homage to that composer). 10. Plein jeu avec chant: This movement features the 17th- and 18th-century French Classical tradition of placing the chant (hymn tune) in the tenor voice (taille), surrounded by four additional voices. The tune is sounded by trumpet reed stops of the Pedal, accompanied by the full sonority of a Principal chorus (Plein jeu). 11. old 1th ith Descant: Intended for use in congregational singing, this harmonization features the tune soloed out ith an added descanting voice that sounds above the tune. I first heard this technique used by the Dutch organist Klaas Bolt, liturgical organist of the famed St. Bavo Church, Haarlem, the Netherlands from I ish to express my sincere gratitude to Mark Brombaugh for his generous and valuable assistance in the editing and proofing of the score. 70/08S-
