The Drei Festfantasien Op. 105 is the second of Max Gulbins’ publications for organ that was directly connected to the war. The mood of Op. 105 is very different from that of his War Sonata (Kriegssonate) Op. 98 ((http•••) composed three years earlier at a time when German triumph still seemed assured. While the War Sonata offers an anticipatory celebration of victory, Gulbins’ Op. 105 fantasias commemorate the German dead: more specifically, his son Erich, an officer cadet who was killed at Merville on 24 June 2018. The first two works in the group are settings of popular German funeral chorales, while the third (Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden) is a traditional soldiers’ song. Both ‘Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden’ and ‘Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden’ were commonly sung at military funerals during the First World War, and remain a standard element within Remembrance ceremonies. It seems likely that all three pieces originated as improvisations in the autumn of 1918, and it is hard not to be moved by the thought of Max Gulbins seeking solace at the organ following the death of his ‘valiant eldest son Erich’.

Joseph Jongen Garratt 1914 1915
The Belgian composer, pianist and organist Joseph Jongen composed the first version of his Prélude élégiaque (initially titled Prélude funèbre) in April 1914, revising the work in the winter and spring of 1915. In the intervening period, Jongen, his wife and three children had become refugees, fleeing Belgium following the German invasion of August 1914. Like some 200,000 of their countrymen, Jongen and his family made their way to Ostend and then to the UK, taking up residence in London and briefly in Manchester (the first draft of the revised version of the Prélude élégiaque was begun in Manchester on 31 March 1915). Jongen's prelude alternates a heroic funeral march with a consolatory chorale. I've accompanied the music with propaganda images from August 1914, and with photographs of Belgian refugees and their reception in the UK (the organ in one of the photos is that of the Alexandra Palace, which housed several hundred refugees in the autumn of 1914).

He was gravely wounded on 31 December 1915 in the Argonne, and given up for dead by the surgeon who attended him; fortunately, a nursing sister insisted he received attention. Delvincourt lost the use of his left eye and his path to recovery was slow (a selection of Delvincourt's letters from the war can be read on (http•••) Demobilised in 1919, Delvincourt resumed his musical career, and eventually became director of the Paris Conservatoire. His Méditation Op. 4 No. 1 dates from 1913, the year Delvincourt won the prix de Rome. The music is accompanied by images of the trenches in the Argonne.
