I really enjoyed it. I am learning it for Grade VII Associated Boards. Inspired to keep trying. thank you!
-
That was very, very beautiful. Thank you.
-
a favorite organ work of mine ... wonderful performance. bravo!
-
I agree too! i have been playing for many years, and there is not one piece that i used the crescendo pedal. I can program my crescendo pedal there are four levels of memory to program 4 different combinations, and i still dont use it, the only time i do is if i am doing a last min. Improv ha ha
-
100% agreed.
I never use them either. I try not to use pistons either if I can help it.
It's perfectly possible to play the last page of this piece without using a crescendo pedal if you can be bothered to sit there with a pencil and choreograph what you need to do.
-
You did it the RIGHT way...WITHOUT a crescendo pedal. They are unpredictable and sloppy. I always create my own crescendo sequence using pistons. Well done!
-
Not necessarily: the sequence of stops being added (and then subtracted) can be less than suitable compared with what a given piece may call for - not to mention how a particular instrument may fare with a preset sequence (not that many organs are equipped with adjustable crescendo-sequences!).
Having LOTS of pistons (the buttons beneath the manuals, with a few sometimes - as here - above! - as well as toe-studs) is much more of a help with works requiring many colour and dynamic changes!
-
emm i see that you wrote "he himself didn't have one" - he was not an organist!!
-
either way, the crescendo pedal makes it a hell of a lot easier lol. easier than physically pulling the stops.

was it tough to do without a crescendo pedal?

Not really. Crescendo pedals are fairly rare on English organs, so what you've never had you don't miss!

i'm not saying you've missed it, the piece calls for a crescendo pedal so i was just wondering.
riverscuomo06 3 years ago
It doesn't in my copy. It just says 'cresc.' at one point. I have taken that to mean what it usually means, a crescendo obtained by judiciously adding stops and using the swell pedal (I'm assuming that by 'crescendo pedal' you mean one that adds stops - there is, of course, a swell pedal which opens and closes the shutters on the swell box. Crescendo Pedal has a different meaning in the UK).

Superb execution!!!
Before you I knew only the version played by Michael Murray on Salisbury cathedral organ.
Bravo!!!

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I have three Frank Bridge pieces in one volume, all very well-written. I must learn the other two!
