• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

There is a French organist who recently performed the "Final" from the Faychard Fourth SYmphony. Emmanuel Hocde, the organist, claims he is playing it from the manuscript at the Saint Alban's Festival. Makes me wonder where he got it...

Thanks for pointing this out, dybsc; I'll keep that name in mind: googling for "Emmanuel Hocdé" Fauchard, I see that he even performed the whole 4th Symphony together with Michèle at St-Sulpice in June this year.

I appreciate the lead - I've so far not found any internet contact details for Emmanuel Hocdé, but I will keep looking. My exposure to the Fauchard Symphonies #1 and 2 as well as his further works encourage me to want Symphonies #3 and 4 - the first two symphonies remind me of Vierne with a little Gershwin thrown in (!)

Best,

Aloha giwro,

My sincerest thanks to you for sharing where I can acquire a legit score. Thank you for Mr. Krasovsky's 1st symphonie. Already I have found his harmonic language very appealing and soul searching at the same time. In your research about Roman Krasovsky has any mention been made about if he was interested in the music of Reger or other composer after Reger?

Cheerio,

CD :):):)

Glad you enjoyed the music!

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a fondness for Reger... Below is a short bio:

​
Krasnovsky, Roman – (b. 1955) UKR/IS 3 Orgelsinfonien. Roman Krasnovsky was born in the Ukraine and studied in various conservatories in the Soviet Union, most notably with Aram Khatchaturian. Krasnovsky studied the organ with Professor Galina Kozlova at the Conservatory of Gorky, now Nizhni Novgorod, Russia, from 1986 until 1989. He has given organ recitals throughout Ukraine and as far north as the Baltic Republics, and perfected his playing in masterclasses held by Professor Leo Kramer of Speyer, Germany, as well as with various professors from
Vienna, Austria and other musical centers. His chief activity was as orchestral pipe organist of the Kharkov Philharmonia. Mr. Krasnovsky was also active as a pianist,
harpsichordist, solo organist and accompanist. In 1990 he immigrated to Israel where he now lives. (above information from the World Concert Artist Directory)

Thanks a lot (again!) for such wonderful music, giwro.

Besides the Reger influence, I am also tempted to call these the "8th and 9th symphonies of Vierne", so to speak. :cool:

Now, for a new treat - the first movement "Esordio" of Leonardo Ciampa's 4th organ Symphony, "Ave Maria". I for one find it wonderful that a modern composer can write tuneful and listenable music!

Enjoy,

Hello everyone! I am very pleased to see a brilliant book on organ symphonies is going to be edited soon, or has been. I am surely interested in this book.

I am studying the 4th symphony by Auguste Fauchard, and I have played the fourth mouvement in St Albans last may 2008, and in St Sulpice in june. Auguste Fauchard is dead in 1957, and first played it himself at Notre Dame of Paris in 1945.

I will be coming to the United States to play the 4th symphony next march 2010 at the Purchase College in New York.
