Harvey Gaul The Death of Åse Anitra s Dance In the Hall of the Mountain King Chelsea Chen Chorale-Prelude on Bethold (2016) (b. 1983) Taiwanese Suite (2003) Hills in the Springtime Moonlight Blue Mountain of Youth INTERMISSION J.S.

David Briggs EXCLUSIVE MANAGEMENT: Karen McFarlane Artists, Inc.

4 P A G E 4 Chelsea Chen: Program Notes Ola Gjeilo (b. 1978): Sinfonietta (2002) Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo moved to New York City in 2001 to enter the Master s program in composition at The Juilliard School where he and Ms. Chen were classmates. Gjeilo has become one of the most frequently performed composers in the choral world with pieces such as his popular Sunrise Mass. His organ piece Sinfonietta is a little symphony of seven minutes full of lively passagework for the hands and spirited lines for the feet. It features a prominent pedal cadenza inspired by J.S. Bach s Toccata in C Major, BWV 564 and a modal (mixolydian) chorale. Ms. Chen gave the U.S. premiere of Sinfonietta in 2004 at a Juilliard Composers Concert. Edvard Grieg ( ): First Peer Gynt Suite, Op. 46 In 1875 Grieg composed incidental music for the play Peer Gynt by Henrik Ibsen. He later extracted eight movements and formed two suites, of which the First Peer Gynt Suite remains immensely popular. The dark and sometimes surreal tale by Ibsen is one of a Faustian Peer Gynt an anti-hero who bumbles through life s adventures, taking advantage of everyone and everything. Originally for full orchestra, the First Peer Gynt Suite was adapted for organ by Harvey Gaul. Chelsea Chen (b. 1983): Chorale-Prelude on Bethold and Taiwanese Suite (2003) The chorale tune Bethold by Mark Sedio is associated with Brian Wren's text on the Transfiguration ("Jesus on the Mountain Peak"). In the initial bars I imagined Jesus and his three disciples climbing a mountain to the sound of birds. A murmuring accompaniment then introduces the chorale over a dance-like pedal line. My harmonization throughout emphasizes the pentatonicism found in the original melody and mixes in the Dorian mode. I was inspired to write Taiwanese Suite after hearing a beautiful orchestral arrangement of several popular Taiwanese folk songs. When I later studied in Taiwan on a Fulbright scholarship, I discovered that these songs are a source of national pride to the Taiwanese people, who endured many years of Japanese occupation during and before World War II. In my piece, each movement features a song about Taiwan s picturesque countryside or its colorful locals. Taiwanese Suite was written in honor of my paternal Chinese/Taiwanese ancestry. J.S. Bach ( ): Prelude and Fugue in D Major, BWV 532 Bach biographer Philipp Spitta ( ) considered the Prelude and Fugue in D Major, BWV 532 to be one of the most dazzlingly beautiful of all the master's organ works. Generally dated to the early Weimar period, the work is notable for its charm, drama, and the unprecedented virtuosity of the pedal line. Opening with triumphant, ascending pedal scales, the prelude s second section is of a more delicate texture. An unexpected fully diminished chord sets off the third section of a series of unstable harmonies that eventually make their way back to D major. The idiosyncratic fugue subject is divided in half by a long rest and almost childlike in the obstinate insistence of the opening figure. The fugue is consistently lighthearted and playful up until its flourishing final pedal lines. Ad Wammes (b. 1953): Miroir (1992) Ad Wammes is a contemporary Dutch composer rapidly gaining notoriety in the classical music world, having begun his musical career in a rock band. He is also well-known for writing the music for the Dutch version of Sesame Street. Miroir blends minimalist influences with samba rhythms, gradually building from two flutes to full organ, as the music grows more intense. Camille Saint-Saëns ( ): Finale from Symphony No. 3 Organ Saint-Saëns conducted the premiere of his famous Organ Symphony in 1886 at the Royal Philharmonic Society of London with the Prince and Princess of Wales in attendance. Written at the peak of his career, he wrote that "I gave everything to [the symphony] I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again." A virtuoso pianist and organist, Saint-Saëns was able to pour his knowledge of these instruments into this symphony of two movements. The finale transcription by David Briggs begins at the point when the organ crashes in with a C Major chord. What follows is eight minutes of soaring melodies and fugal counterpoint, developing themes from earlier portions of the symphony and ending in a blaze of C Major. S F O R Z A N D O

We are indeed honored to have received over $1500 in gifts. This is truly a reflection of the great esteem in which Helen was held. Her passing is a great loss to us and the many lives she touched. I have received so many wonderful notes from the donors. Here are some of the many remembrances that were shared: This donation is in honor of the memory of Helen Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was my church organist growing up, and she took me under her wing at a very young age. She taught me how to play with an accompanist and how to accompany a choir. She was always kind and patient. I hope this donation can be used to foster other young musicians in churches across the Southwest Jersey Chapter. Sincerely, Amanda Lawless To the AGO members, friends and family of Helen Taylor, My name is Kathleen Gillet, and Mrs. Taylor was one of the most influential teachers in my life. In autumn of 1989, as a 7 year old second grader, I eagerly joined the Junior Choir at Memorial Presbyterian Church. That first year was the first of ten years singing as a choir member, and it set the tone for many years. Mrs. Tylor taught us Hymns of the month - among them The God of Abraham Praise, Once in Royal David s City and others. Only a few weeks into the Autumn, Mrs. Taylor took us to the attic to see the pipes of the organ. One look made up my mind that someday I d learn to play the organ. When I found out that the opportunity was available at tiny Cottey College in Missouri, I took it and learned as much as possible both there and at the University of Delaware. Music has been neither my academic major nor my vocation, but it has remained a constant in my life and of my family s favorite forms of worship to God. Mrs. Taylor did a lot to make it so. Respectfully, Kathleen Gillet Dear Mrs. Gassaway, I am enclosing a check, given in fond memory and love for Helen Taylor. Helen, and her late husband Bob, played for our wedding on August 22, As I am sure you know, Bob was an excellent French Horn player. The organ in our church jn Auburn, NY was an excellent Aeolian Skinner and Helen made the most of it. The music was lovely. Bob Taylor was my late wife s uncle, being a.continued on page 16
