Choir & Organ Magazine May/June 2021 Vorige editie

A major project at St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna overcomes the building’s acoustical challenges and provides control of the new Rieger and the choir organ in a single console; our survey of Ralph Vaughan Williams's choral works concludes with a look at his exquisite miniatures, ceremonial music, and the sublime Mass in G minor; and exploring Denmark’s great national tradition of singing in times of adversity.

Plus, how a mission to promote Irish choral music led to the founding of a new publishing house in Waterford; a first world war memorial organ in a north London church is restored to its original condition by F.H. Browne & Sons; early music ensemble Voces Suaves combines 16th-century madrigals with Dante’s Divine Comedy; marking the 400th anniversary of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, the most important Dutch composer and pedagogue in the transition from renaissance to early baroque; behind the scenes with Renatus Church Organ & Ecclesiastical Services; the score for this month’s New Music commission, Storms don’t last forever for solo organ by NYCGB composer Nathan James Dearden; and our 2021 festivals supplement.
