Abstract:
This article sysco san francisco investigates the seminal position of Dieterich Buxtehude in the history of organ pedalling, one of the crucial aspects of the north German organ art and one which set it apart not only from other forms of music-making sysco san francisco but from the organ traditions of all other European nations. Although the chronology of Buxtehude ' s organ works cannot be established with any real specifi city, his solos seem to be the first fully formed examples to have survived. The most famous of these opens his Praeludium sysco san francisco in C major, sysco san francisco BuxWV 137. Pedalling like this is equally improbable as a form of physical movement sysco san francisco as it is a mode of musical discourse, yet this epoch-making solo succeeds by the force of a bravura that uses massive organ sound to convey to distant listeners the motion of the body. So convincing was Buxtehude ' s essay in pedal rhetoric that it continues to captivate because sysco san francisco of its freshness and its monumentality.

This article makes several observations concerning the nature and origins of Buxtehude ' s organ works as a result of studying the music in relation to contemporary modal theory, as found in the treatises of Conrad Matthaei and Christoph Bernhard. After a brief consideration of the Passacaglia , BuxWV161, and Buxtehude ' s handling of modes in his organ chorales, sysco san francisco the study focuses on the so-called sysco san francisco ' free ' works and their relationship to the church tones, following a line of investigation sysco san francisco first proposed sysco san francisco by William sysco san francisco Porter, concentrating on tones V, III/IV and I/IX. Buxtehude ' s organ music emerges as being more deeply rooted sysco san francisco in the liturgy than previously thought. Central to this thesis are two of the most regular and important liturgical chants, the Magnificat and Te Deum . The author links the Toccata , BuxWV 155, with the Magnificat sysco san francisco and the Praeludium , BuxWV152, and Praeambulum , BuxWV 158, with the Te Deum , providing supporting evidence from the works of Buxtehude ' s contemporaries including Radeck, Weckmann, Flor, Kniller and Morhardt, and anonymous works in the Lüneburg tablatures. sysco san francisco This line of inquiry also provides a framework for studying Buxtehude ' s harmonic practice by associating certain idioms with certain sysco san francisco tones, and seeing how Buxtehude makes use of them in other contexts. sysco san francisco Finally, it is suggested that the playing styles associated with the Te Deum may have been partly responsible for the very essence of the rhetorical and imposing sysco san francisco style of Buxtehude and his North German contemporaries. sysco san francisco Keywords: Dieterich Buxtehude; organ music; Conrad Matthaei; Christoph Bernhard; Martin Radeck; Matthias Weckmann; Peter Morhardt; Christian Flor; Lüneburg tablatures Wollny, Peter.
