Dale Carr | Fantasia in d minor, by Sweelinck, played by Dale Carr in Örgryte nya Kyrkan on 13 December, 2000 @dalecarr6361 | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Fantasia in d minor, SwWV 261, by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, played by Dale Carr on the organ in Örgryte nya Kyrkan {Göteborg} on 13 December, 2000
Here I have published only the 1st § of this wonderful piece, about a third of the whole. The performance took place rather by chance: I had an opportunity to play the organ & had my SONY walkman with me. The registration was based on the marvellous 16' Trommet with a couple of other stops added for color & clarity.
The work is often called an 'echo fantasy', because of the many echo passages in the 2nd §. The 1st §, however, is composed primarily of canons, which I have listed below. The piece begins with 3 voices; a 4th voice is added from m.29.
m.1-4, sop & bass, 5th below, {by inversion}, after 1 whole note, till m.4
m.4-19, sop & alt, 8ve below, after 1 whole note, till m.19
m.22-25, sop & alt, 8ve below, after 1 whole note, till m.25
m.28-34, sop & bass, 12th below, after 1 whole note, till m.34
m.50- sop & bass, 15th above, after 1 halfnote, dissolving into shorter imitations
m.61-65, sop & ten, 8ve above, after 1 halfnote, till m.65
m.65-70, alt & ten, 8ve above, after 1 halfnote, till m.70
m.70-79, sop & ten, 8ve below, after 1 halfnote, till m.79
The organ in Örgryte nya Kyrkan was built as part of a research project at GOArt, University of Gothenburg, and was dedicated on August 12, 2000. The goal of the project was to recreate the construction techniques and design philosophies of the 17th-century German organ builder Arp Schnitger. Though the instrument was built in the style of this single builder, it was not modeled after a single instrument. No single model could be used since no large Schnitger organ has been preserved in its original condition. The construction of the organ was carried out by an international team of organ builders. Henk van Eeken was responsible for the design and the technical drawings, Munetaka Yokota for the pipework, and Mats Arvidsson oversaw the building process. The instrument contains almost 4000 pipes and is the largest existing organ tuned in quarter-comma meantone temperament. {info from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_German_baroque_organ_in_%C3%96rgryte_Nya_Kyrka}
