Præludium secundi Toni (Auf 2 Clavier und Pedahl) | Secrets of Organ Playing Contest Week 23
This is my entry for week 23 of the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest. I’m playing Præludium secundi Toni (Anonymous). I discovered this work through fellow organ Steemian, @partitura. He made a post about this recently as he published it from the manuscript Ms Lynar B3, page 36.
The piece calls for two manuals and pedals and it is clear that there is a solo voice, accompanied by underlying chordal harmony. For this reason, I use a prominent registration in my RH and a supporting one in my LH. The pedal division on this particular instrument is actually a digital 16' stop, so I couple it to the upper manual to balance. The style of this piece is very free in nature and consists of many scale passages.
You also might be wondering about this instrument as it's not one I've previously played on for the contest. It's a real pipe organ and it's located in Jindera, NSW, Australia (about 15 minutes away from my home). There are only 5 ranks and it is duplexed across both manuals. As mentioned earlier, the pedal division is a digital 16' Bourdon but the church is planning on installing a real 16' Bourdon rank—they already have the pipes! It just needs a chest and then installed.
I actually gave the opening recital on this instrument back in 2016 when it was first installed!
I hope you enjoyed listening to my entry and thank you again to @partitura for publishing the work.

I love right hand passages in this piece! This is a really nice gesture for you to play a piece published by @partitura...
Very nice! And with a proper solo voice, which I forgot in my own performance...
The Bourdon on this organ is a bit too prominent to my taste; I guess the balance will be better once the real pipes are installed.
