Sonic Groove Live, Week 13 - Butehude, Magnificat, BuxWV 204
This is my entry for the Sonic Groove Live Contest, Week 13. In the video I tell a litlle about one of the practical problems of playing a real organ. And I show the gross movements to which it can lead while playing.
Manuscript Mus Ms 30280, owned by the Staatsbibliothek Berlin contains a magnificat of Dietrich Buxtehude, consisting of four seperate parts. They are generally published as two seperate pieces, in the catalogue of Buxtehude's compositions designated as BuxWV 204 and BuxWV 205. The reason for this is perhaps another manuscript source, unknown to me, where the four parts are presented as two different pieces. To confuse matter seven more, BuxWV 204 is sometimes published as containing only the first part, and sometimes as containing the first two parts. As the first parts ends on the dominant, which does not feel as a real conclusion, it seems more logical to include the second part as well.
The manuscript notates the music on two staves and it is not always clear which notes should be played with the pedals. Where the music is strictly in four voices it is easy to recognize the pedal part in the lowest of these four voices. In the passages in the stylus phantasticus it is less clear however. Especiaaly in the first movement there are lots of differences between editions in how the notes from the manuscript are arranged for left hand and feet. A performer should therefore feel free to play more or less notes with the pedals, as he/she sees fit.
The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Voxus, of the Müller organ in the Sint Bavokerk, Haarlem (http://www.voxusorgans.com/en/product/haarlem).

Will you be upgrading to Hauptwerk V? The cloud licensing appeals to me. I might give it a go.
Yes, there's no doubt I will be upgrading. The upcoming sample set of the organ of the Martini-kerk in Groningen will only be available as sample set voor Hauptwerk 5. And what I have heard of that sample set makes it a "must have" for me.
Hope the upgrade goes smoothly! Look forward to hearing the new sample set.
