BARENREITER Complete Organ Works Volumes I-VI

Théodore Dubois (18371924) was a conductor, organist, teacher, and one of the leading Parisian composers of the 19th century. His contemporaries frequently compared him to Delibes, Widor and Lalo. Yet he rarely turned to the musical language of his age, writing instead in a vein that reveals influences from Mendelssohn, Weber, Gounod, and the dramatic style of Berlioz. Our edition is the first to present his organ music in an Urtext performance edition. Besides a detailed critical commentary in German, English, and French, the volume also contains facsimiles, a catalogue of sources and a detailed foreword which contains a biography of the composer and sheds light on questions relating to the instrument and performance practice. \- First complete Urtext edition now comes to a close \- At the cutting edge of scholarship \- Music in every key for church worship and concert performance \- Detailed Foreword, Critical Commentary (Fr\/Eng\/Ger) and facsimiles The set includes: Volume I: Early Works and Works with Minimal or Optional Use of the Pedals BA 8468 Volume II: Organist at the Church La Madeleine Douze Pièces pour Orgue ou Piano\-Pédalier (1886) BA 8469 Volume III: Organist at the Church La Madeleine Trois Pièces pour Grand Orgue (1890) \/ Messe de Mariage.
