The rare/unusual repertoire thread

[giwro]

Well, several have given the "thumbs-up" to start this thread for rare/unusual repertoire (separate from the Symphonie thread).

So, I'll start it off with Claude Delvincourt's Marche d'Eglise.

Delvincourt was a contemporary and friend of Marcel Dupré. Sadly, he was killed in a car accident in the 1950's, cutting short a brilliant career as a musician.

This piece (written in the early 1900's) is a nice march-style postlude.

Enjoy,

Hello Giwro,

WOW!!! The *Marche d'Eglise* is quite endearing, imo. It sounds so very accessible too. I feel like a student learning about pieces from a knowledgeable professor of organ performance and repertoire - I love it.



Cheers,

I like it too! Do you have the score for it? I would like to learn
the song on the church organ for a change from Toccata & Fugue!

Hi Giwro,

Another splendid tune shared. You are a genius when it comes to discovering all these unheard (at least for me) great organ works. I'm truly impressed ... and we are indeed fortunate to have these contributions of yours in this forum community.

Very good idea.

I have some old books with scores that may be very little known from french or english organists.
I can also give you some of my own score if you like them.
This offer is also available for MethodistGirl and all other friends on this magnifiscent forum.

Hi Judy,

Yes, I have a score, but since it is sold by a publisher I can't really give you a copy - that wouldn't be fair, would it?

Glad you like 'em, Kh -

A pity so much fine music goes unheard, yes?

Musicalis, you should make a list of the rare music so we know what you have available - I'm sure there are many of us here that would enjoy the opportunity to learn about it.

Hi !
I will make a list as soon as I come back home (on december I think). The publishers of some of these books may have vanished, so no problem of copyright I hope.
These books are about 40 years old. I got half of them for free, because when I was 16, I became friend with a organ books publisher in Bordeaux.

I'm an absolute sucker for that kind of ramantic music. Absolutely love it, and love this march. It also sounds pretty straightforward so I'm not anticipating any real difficulties learning it. So I'm gonna add that to my list and get a copy.

It's published by United Music Publishers

DELVINCOURT Claude (1888–1954)

3 Pièces 1.Marche d'Eglise; 2.Méditation; 3.Sortie de Fête

And you'll notice from when he died that the copyright has not yet expired in the EU.

Here's their catalogue...

Nice find. Thanks

Hi NEB,

I'm totally in synch with you on being a sucker for that kind of romantic music. Thanks for sleuthing out the Delvincourt and sharing who publishes it.

Most appreciatively,

Corno Dolce

[giwro]

Glad you enjoyed it, NEB...

Just a quick aside - if you reside in the USA (where this _is_ in the Public Domain due to the pre-1922 publication date) you can get a reprint a LOT cheaper than the UMP version... shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Absolutely. But now with people like yourself, these beautiful masterpieces are being brought to the forefront and getting the attention they deserve. Makes me wonder why this type of quality music got pushed aside for so many years.

[giwro]

Well...

It was pushed aside when the Orgelbewegung movement came to America - anything not shrieky and Baroque was definitely out of fashion for a number of years, as was the music of the Romantic era. Now that the pendulum has swung back a bit towards a more neutral tendency, and that is good.
