Organ - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q19995 Poème symphonique. Composed by Robert M. Helmschrott. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 32 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q19995. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q19995). Used as a place of worship for centuries, first by Christians and then by Muslims (from 1453), the Hagia Sophia (Istanbul) still amazes people from all over the world. Since 1934, it is a museum – but more than that, the Hagia Sophia, a unique architectural work of monumental proportions in Christian Antiquity and the Middle Ages, is described as a mystical place. Monumental, yet mysterious, a 'miracle of space', a symbol, a sign. 'Sophia', the holy wisdom, accompanies us through the whole Bible history. The present music has to be regarded against this background: A reflection, contemplation with music and poetry. The Creation is powerful, but the truth about it is powerful as well. And the realization that the path to truth is reached through wisdom. As a consequence, this piece has to cross the powerful for half its duration, monumental. It is the cupola over all following (observing) verses (sections). From bar 371, the path leads back into the powerful, into the rejoicing (bar 406). It must not be forgotten to mention the suggestion of 'singing in a mosque' (bar 510) which is answered by a simple prayer (bar 511). This is reminiscent of the mosaic above the imperial door of the building portraying Jesus Christ sitting on a jewelled throne. He holds an open book in which one can read 'Peace be with you. I am the light of the world'. The line and sound of Hagia Sophia are based on a symmetrical eight-note row (mode B) with the notes B, C sharp, D, E/F, G, A flat (G sharp), B flat (A sharp). Although the major-minor relations are removed, harmonic connections (colours) emerge nevertheless.

Organ - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.960273 Composed by Stephen Smith. Christian,Contemporary,Holiday,Sacred. Score. 4 pages. Stephen Smith #6424975. Published by Stephen Smith (A0.960273). In this brief but boisterous organ postlude on the chorale Mit Freuden zart (subtitled ...renn zum Ausfahrt!), the manuals play a dense jumble of imitated motives from the chorale, while the pedals thunder out the cantus firmus in long notes. The c.f. has been modernized a little by occasionally sharpening the 4th degree and flattening the 6th and 7th! Also contributing to the modern flavour of the piece are the frequent 2-against-3 cross-rhythms, which result from the tripling of the eighth-note values in the triple-time chorale melody.

Organ - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998851 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. Score. 9 pages. Robert A. Howard #6205889. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998851). This extended organ piece uses a remarkably small amount of material; just two chords, triads of C and F sharp, with an added augmented fourth in each. Over these chords, a melody gradually unfolds and is developed and decorated (also appearing in canon at one point in the pedals!). This musical material originates from the same composer's early original setting of the carol Away in a Manger (also available via Sheet Music Plus), which uses the aforementioned harmonies to depict the rocking motion of Christ's crib. Therefore, this organ work is a 'meditation' on this, almost in the manner of a chorale prelude. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for higher standard organists, including advanced students and professional players.Duration: 5 minutes 40 seconds.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.uk.
