Course 15

Organ repertoire from North-German baroque composers by Prof. Bine Katryn Bryndorf

Dates: July 27-31 (2nd week)

Description
The Haarlem Summer Academy is known for many important topics. These include the emphasis on Johann Sebastian Bach as one of the most important organ composers, and also on improvisation as an important way of expressing yourself on the organ. These two elements come together in this course. It is a fact that Johann Sebastian Bach was very interested in and inspired by the ‘Stylus Fantasticus’ that he encountered in Lübeck. And we know that in the baroque period improvisation was an important feature of the North German style of organ playing.
These elements will certainly be covered in the course led by Prof. Bryndorf, who is an expert in this field. You can choose any piece by the three most important North German Baroque composers: Heinrich Scheidemann, Dieterich Buxtehude and Nicolaus Bruhns.
