LEARNING FOR A LIFETIME

 

HISTORICAL ORGAN TECHNIQUES AND REPERTOIRE
This is a series of volumes, each of which deals with a specific national school of organ music within a specific historical period (Late Medieval; Renaissance; 16th and 17th century North German; Bach; 18th century German; 16th-18th century South German; 16th -18th century Spanish; 16th-18th century Italian; 16th-18th century English; 16th-18thcentury Dutch; German Romantic; French Romantic; English Romantic; American Romantic; The Late Romantic Orchestral Organ in England and America; and Modern Organ Techniques). The first portion of each volume contains a preface that discusses all relevant aspects of organ performance practice: (1) organ specifications and registration practices; (2) hand positions; (3) fingering systems; (4) meter and articulation; (5) ornamentation; (6) rhythmic alteration practices; (7) a bibliography; (8) a list of original sources and organ tutors; (9) a list of modern editions; and (10) definitions of the types of compositions that were used by that national school of composers. These are arranged in a teaching format. The second portion of each volume contains attractive and appropriate organ music arranged in a graduated order of difficulty, with some of the easier compositions partially or completely fingered, pedaled, ornamented, registered, and rhythmically altered according to the practices in use at the time and place the music was written. Some of the music is for manuals only, and some for manuals and pedal. It is the intent of this series to explore in some depth the tremendous breadth and variety of styles of music and performance practices that exist for the organ from the last six centuries.

TIER II
TRADITIONAL ORGAN METHOD MATERIALS

TIER II - ORGAN SKILLS™
A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO TRADITIONAL ORGAN TEACHING
This series of books presumes three to four years of keyboard study.

Part 1
First Organ Book
Second edition, revised and enlarged.



One hundred ninety-three pages in length, divided into three parts. Part one includes basic information about the organ, organ stop lists arranged by families of sound, and a brief explanation of the basic periods of music history. Part two contains a comprehensive beginning organ method including chapters on legato pedal techniques, legato manual techniques, legato manual and pedal trios, and the articulate style of touch of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Part three is a graded collection of compositions from all historical periods, with most of the late nineteenth and twentieth century pieces fingered. Some compositions are based on well-known hymn tunes, while others are freely composed. Most of the compositions in this part do not require traditional organ legato-fingering techniques, thus enabling the pianist or keyboardist with only a minimum technique to play the organ and sound good immediately. Much of the material is at a level so that it can be used by pianists after only three years of traditional piano study. The First Organ Book is the outgrowth of a two-year project initiated by the National Committee on the New Organist of the AGO, in cooperation with Wayne Leupold, to produce an introductory volume of organ music and elementary teaching materials.

Part 2
Easiest Hymns
arranged by Wayne Leupold
For manual and pedals in trio style. A series of small volumes containing very easy hymn settings suitable for accompanying congregational singing in three parts; with very easy pedal parts (most within the range of a fifth or sixth) for the new organist. These settings can be used from the very first organ lesson to provide a hymn- playing experience and to begin to teach the basic principles of hymn playing. The hymns chosen are ones included in hymnals of most Christian denominations.
