Dale Carr | Tocata avanti la Messa della Domenica by Girolamo Frescobaldi performed by Dale Carr in Midwolde @dalecarr6361 | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Tocata avanti la Messa della Domenica by Girolamo Frescobaldi {1583-1643}, from his Fiori musicali {1635} ; performed by Dale Carr on the organ in Midwolde {Westerkwartier} on 18 July, 1987
The toccatas in Fiori musicali are all notated polyphonically, 'in partitvra a qvattro vtili per sonatori' as stated on the title page ; this makes them look very different from the other toccatas he published, which are notated on 2 staves more or less like what we're accustomed to in more modern keyboard music. Since most of the pieces in this collection are polyphonic settings of chant melodies, the use of an open score was probably obligatory for the whole publication.
The organ in Midwolde is quite different from most of the famous organs in the province of Groningen: it was conceived as a secular instrument: a house organ, probably for the residents of the manor Nienoord, which is not far from the church. It was built in 1630 by Livinus Eekman, and rebuilt & enlarged for the church in 1657-60 by Andreas de Mare.
Registration: 8' Roerfluit, 4' Octaaf, 2' Octaaf, 1½' Quint
