Description:
This edition, edited by Gerhard Doderer (Lisbon) and Miguel Bernal Ripoll (Madrid), offers a representative overview of the universe of Portuguese organ compositions spanning three hundred years. The printed collection of Gonçalo de Baena (Lisbon 1540) and the Portuguese secularization of 1834 were chosen as temporal demarcation points. The stimulating and inspiring album with works by Portuguese or Portuguese organists such as António de Carreira, Manuel Rodrigues Coelho, Pedro de Araújo and Carlos Seixas dispenses with the adoption of historical notation methods and makes this music directly accessible to today's organists by orienting itself towards common practice.
In addition to 27 organ compositions of various genres, such as Verso, Tento, Batalha or Sonata, the volume contains detailed explanations of the compositions, their liturgical function and organ building. This gives an impression of the diverse, geographically very different Portuguese organ landscape, which has been greatly diversified over the centuries.
