Matthew Martin Novello St Albans International Organ Festival 2019
Movement 1 - Introduction and dances 0:00 Movement 2 - Intermezzo (Lamento) 3:45 Movement 3 - Fugue 6:14 This three-movement work was commissioned by the St Albans International Organ Festival as the test piece for competitors in the 2019 organ competition. Much of the material is derived from a six-note cell (D, A, B flat, E, F C) which has been used to create short melodic lines related by transposition. This row is often ‘rotated’ and then stitched together to form more extended passages. Sometimes these are stated rather boldly and at other moments more buried within the texture. This hexachordal-rotation device also contributes to some of the more structural harmony, and the fugue subject is derived from it. The three movements should be played without a break but can also be performed separately. There is also an alternative ending to the the first movement so that it can segue into the Fugue, omitting the central ‘Lamento’. The score is published by Novello and available from www.musicroom.com/product/musnov100454/matthew-martin-st-albans-triptych-organ.aspx.

Peter Hurford OBE is a British organist, born St Cecilia's day (22 November) 1930 in Minehead, Somerset. Educated at Blundell's School,[1] he later studied both music and law at Jesus College, Cambridge, graduating with dual degrees, subsequently obtaining an enviable reputation for both musical scholarship and organ playing. Hurford subsequently studied in Paris under the blind French organist, André Marchal, exploring music of the Baroque period. He is best known for his interpretations of Bach, having recorded the complete Bach organ works for Decca and BBC Radio 3. His expertise also encompasses recordings of the Romantic literature for organ, performances notable for attention to stylistic detail. His playing style is noted for clean articulation, beauty of expression, and a sense of proper tempi. Hurford was appointed organist and choirmaster of St Albans Cathedral Choir in 1958, serving with great distinction in this capacity for exactly twenty years. He conceived the idea of an organ competition in 1963, partly to celebrate the new Harrison & Harrison organ designed by Ralph Downes and himself. This venture was successful mainly because of the young Hurford's rapidly growing stature in Britain and overseas as a result of his refreshing notions of authentic performing style. This has grown into the St Albans International Organ Festival, a world-renowned festival of organ music with competitions whose past winners include many of the great names in modern organ music including Dame Gillian Weir, David Sanger, Thomas Trotter and Kevin Bowyer. He is the holder of a number of Honorary Doctorates, was appointed an Honorary Fellow of Jesus College in 2006 and has been appointed an OBE. He has written a book: Making Music on the Organ (1998, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-816207-3) and published a deal of choral music for the Anglican liturgy, much of it issued by leading publishers such as Novello and Oxford University Press. His Litany to the Holy Spirit to a famous text by Robert Herrick, is sung worldwide.
