Fantastic Organ
Rie Hiroe
Works of J.S. Bach, M. Reger, F. Liszt
There are many fantasies in the organ repertoire. Fantasy
means many things – it is sometimes a polyphonic work,
sometimes improvisational and sometimes written in the
toccata style, or like an orchestral suite. In this concert, three
fantasies from Bach to Reger will show the extreme variety of
creativity of those great composers.

Les goûts réunis, Bach and the Italian Style
Jean-Luc Thellin
Works of J.S. Bach & A. Vivaldi
The three dominant styles of the end of the Baroque, the
French, Italian and German styles, are cited as an example by
François Couperin.
Bach perfectly mastered these styles, his music is also the reflection of an astonishing fusion.
Jean-Luc Thellin, who has already performed the complete organ works of Bach, has chosen the most Italianate pieces, as well as a transcription of the concerto in D minor by Antonio Vivaldi.

Schütz and his Legacy
Ensemble In Alto
Alice Foccroulle, soprano
Bart Jacobs, orgel/orgue
Works of H. Schütz, M. Weckmann, D. Buxtehude
At a very young age, Heinrich Schütz was noticed by Moritz von Hessen-Kassel for his singing and musical talent.
The Count decided to take care of his education and took charge of his legal studies as well as his musical education in Kassel with Georg Otto and then in Venice with the famous Giovanni Gabrieli.
On his deathbed, Gabrieli donated his ring to Schütz, whom he undoubtedly regarded as a spiritual son.
Throughout his life, Schütz composed and passed on his knowledge to a multitude of pupils.
His position as Kappellmeister and the fame he enjoyed enabled him to travel
throughout Europe. He passed on his knowledge and his art to other talented young composers such as Matthias Weckmann, Johann Theile, Christoph Bernhard, Vincenzo Albrici, etc.
This programme presents the fabulous legacy of the Master through magnificent pages of music composed by his best pupils.
