Bach, CONCERTO in G [BWV 592] Willem van Twillert, organ

Johann Sebastian Bach, CONCERTO in G [BWV 592] Willem van Twillert, Bätz-organ [1830] at Harderwijk.
This CONCERTO of J.S. Bach is an adaptation of a concerto (for violin, strings and Basso continuo) by Johann Erst, Prince of Saxe-Weimar.
Prince Johann Ernst was the son of Bach's 1st Weimar employer in 1703, Duke Ernst August III, who was the younger brother of Bach's 2nd Weimar employer from 1708-1717, Duke Wilhelm Ernst.
The prince studied keyboard and counterpoint with Bach's cousin, Johann Georg Walther, and composed many concertos, some of which Bach transcribed as solo concertos.
The prince died in 1715 at age 19.

WILLEM VAN TWILLERThas composed many Psalm and Chorale arrangements, the earliest of which were influenced by his studies of 18th century German organ literature. These have been printed in the Netherlands, and have also been issued on CD. Since 2006 he has also composed for orchestra, and for various ensembles including choir, while studying composition with Henk Alkema.

As an organist he has become a well-known performing musician both at home and abroad, thanks mainly to his concerts in the Netherlands, as well as in the U.S.A., Italy (including, in 1996, a concert for the Academia di Musica Italiana per Organo in Pistoia), Germany and England. In 1991 van Twillert was invited by the American Guild of Organists to act as a jury member for the regional competition for young professional organists in Ohio, where he also gave a lecture about the history of Dutch psalm singing at the Calvin College in Sioux-center.

Van Twillert is also known internationally for his recordings of little-known organ literature through his series of CDs, MUSICQ VOOR HET ORGEL. Willem van Twillert has edited music for various Dutch music publishers. For information about his latest series, LITERATA, begun in 2006, please email info@muziekhandel-boeijenga.nl As an editor, his most extensive project to date has been the series of 15 volumes entitled ORGANIST COMPOSERS of the 18th and 19th CENTURIES. For information regarding this series, please email info@emcmusic.nl . In Germany his Toccata ‚Thine be the Glory' in Romantic Style, is published by Dr. J. Butz, music publishers, Sankt Augustin.

Willem van Twillert taught organ at the municipal academy of music in Zwolle between 1980 and 1988. As a church organist he has, since his appointment following a competition in 1979, accompanied the services of three co-operating churches in Amersfoort. The organ lovers of the Netherlands also know him as one of the editors of the monthly magazine de Orgelvriend (the Organ Friend), a function he fulfilled between 1985 and 2006. From 1976 until 2003 van Twillert was the owner and director of a private music school in Bunschoten, and, in 2004 he was invited to give a masterclass at the music academy of Sarajevo (Bosnia) on behalf of the Alkmaar foundation, Musicians without Borders.

Willem van Twillert's performances have been featured in several Dutch radio series,

Sigh... I'm so annoyed that i can't compose 1 fugue... Even though this isn't a fugue, i wish i could even compose 1 measure equal to bach's beautiful music.

[AML2000]

A very nice performance.

To clarify the confusing relationships of the Sachsen-Weimar family -- The Duchy was jointly ruled by two dukes. Bach's first employer was Johann Ernst III who ruled with his brother Wilhelm Ernst, Bach's second Weimar employer. Johann Ernst died in 1707 and was replaced by his oldest son, Ernst August. The composer of the violin concerto was Johann Ernst IV, half brother of Ernst August. Whether he would have jointly ruled with his brother is a matter of speculation.
