Trio on People Look East
from Light One Candle by Wayne L. Wold
Background
"Dr. Wold is associate professor of music and college organist at Hood College in Frederick, Md. 'Besançon' is the third section of his 'Light One Candle: An Advent Organ Collection,' published in 1996 by Augsburg Fortress. The other hymn tune settings are on 'Tif in Veldele' and 'Wachet auf.'[1]
"The trio on the hymn tune 'Besançon' was also recorded by Dr. Dykstra for the Service Playing CD, which accompanies the Study Guide for the AGO Service Playing Test, available for $20 from the AGO. This threepage trio is preceded by a one-page "Intonation on People, Look East," which should not be played for the test. The suggested registration is 8' and 2' stops in the right hand, 8', 4', and 154' in the left hand, with 8' Flute and 4' Principal in the Pedal. The tempo is Allegretto, lively and playful. Articulation groups are indicated with slurs and staccato marks, and when followed will reflect the playful character of the piece. Be sure to play Fl in measure 5, top line, p. 26. No registration changes are needed during the trio, but the last page has frequent back-and-forth manual changes. Since the music repeats a motif at the changes, it's only necessary to read every other measure. Keeping your eyes glued to the music might be risky in this passage."[2]
