Vespers continued July 21 2013

Today Lydia Schimmer played the following pieces on the Dubois organ:

  • Georg Muffat (1653-1704) – Apparatus musico organisticus – Toccata undecima
  • Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643) – Toccata Seconda
  • Heinrich Scheidemann (1596-1663) – Dic nobis Maria
  • Johann Jakob Froberger (1616-1667) – Partita »Auff die Mayerin«
  • Georg Böhm (1661-1733) – Vater unser im Himmelreich
  • Nicolas de Grigny (1672-1703) – Ave Maria Stella – Pein Jeu
  • Nicolas de Grigny (1672-1703) – Ave Maria Stella – Fugue à 5
  • Nicolas de Grigny (1672-1703) – Ave Maria Stella – Duo
  • Nicolas de Grigny (1672-1703) – Ave Maria Stella – Dialogue sur les Grand Jeux

This concert was quite different:

  • Pieces of three composers of the pre-Bach era
  • No Bach played at all
  • Excellent presentation of the french sound of the instrument (thirds, cornet, lingual stops)

I got the impression that Lydia Schimmer has carefully chosen pieces matching the instrument quite well – thanks for the efforts, we enjoyed every single minute!
