Background
Organ, O sacred instrument and holy, you will intone the words of the Almighty Father "is a pompous Maestoso of detached chords similar to Opus 18."[1]
The Latin invocation recited for this verset is: "Organum, sacrosanctum instrumentum, tu incipies laudem Patris omnipotentis."
Registration and Organs
Swell: Principals 8', 4', and 2', Reeds (16') and 8'
Great: Principals 8', 4', and 2', Mixtures
Pedal: Foundations 16' and 8', Reeds 16' and 8'
Swell to Great
Fingering and Pedaling
This piece contains a lot of manual blocked chords that are played detached. None of the chords go beyond the interval of an octave. Therefore, fingering this work should be relatively simple to do.
Much of the pedal line moves in a stepwise fashion and can be played legato by alternating toe and heel.
Articulation and Phrasing
The manual is played marcato, in contrast to the legato of the pedal line.
Ornamentation
One grace note is indicated prior to the final chord. No added ornamentation is required for this piece.
Tempo and Meter
Maestoso, quarter note = 80
The meter is in common time throughout.
Scores and Editions
The approved edition of this piece, for the AGO Service Playing Exam, is published by Wayne Leupold.
Another edition was published in 2008 by Alfonse Leduc and is available at SheetMusicPlus.
