The selections here are live recordings from a concert in Greetsiel, north Germany,
5/24/1997. These are about half of the pieces that we played on this occasion.
This program was at the midpoint of our
three-week tour.
We had played a concert at a nearby church at 5:00 pm this same day,
then quickly drove over to Greetsiel to play this 8:00 pm concert. So, we were quite
tired and "played out" at the end of this day! We vividly remember driving past
these
windmills on our way to the show....
At Greetsiel we met an enthusiastic fan, Matthias Adam, who requested permission to
record our concert on his professional equipment. We agreed, and Herr Adam
pressed this concert onto private CD's for us. He also invited us back to Emden at the
end of our tour for several more days of recording under studio conditions. We are currently
working on the editing of that recording for future release. Again we thank Herr Adam for these opportunities
of recording our performances!
Greetsiel is a fishing village
on the North Sea, in East Friesland.
The Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche has
an intimate sanctuary with models of ships hanging from the ceiling. The
organ is small (only a few stops, and not much bass) but has a sparkling tone...we think
it worked well for this program. Our audience was enthusiastic, and it was a delightful day.

| A sectional toccata (fantasia) for solo keyboard. It works well on harpsichord, clavichord, or organ, and has been recorded each way by various performers. (I play it on all three myself.) This performance is on a very small organ of only half a dozen stops: Buxtehude's writing itself gives plenty of contrast. This composition was clearly a model for J S Bach's toccatas, which he wrote after his visit with Buxtehude. | |

| Organ solo. A melancholy and dolorous hymn tune named "DOL" which I wrote in the mid-1990's. I wrote it because I think the traditional tunes for this text are not intense or somber enough! This one has received good response whenever congregations and smaller ensembles have sung it. During this northern German tour we sometimes added Marty's fluegelhorn to this... | |
