Musical contribution - May 2012
O Welt, ich muß dich lassen (M. Reger) - We unfortunately don’t know who wrote this song. However, we do know he should have been born in 1555. The melody is by Heinrich Isaac and it was also used by Bach in two of his Passions. It’s therefore often sung during the Lutheran worship.
March 29, 2012 - The “Capriccio” dates back to the early 16th century. This name was not, or was hardly, used for a long time. Yet suddenly the “Caprice” appeared again in the 19th century. It mainly stood for whimsical and virtuosic in the early music, but it took on a fleet-footed character in the 19th century. And this is partly why we have opted to include this fun piece in the spring.
March 23, 2012 - From now on, you can choose where in the church you would like to sit to best enjoy the sound of your organ, thanks to Adaptive Ambiance™. When you attend an organ concert, you choose where to sit so that the music sounds best for you.
March 12, 2012 - Johannus is constantly on the look out for effective ways of communicating with you. You now also have the option of keeping up to date with the very latest Johannus news via Twitter and YouTube.
March 1, 2012 - It was already possible to enjoy an affordable organ in the comfort of your own home, thanks to the compact Studio 150. But now, this modern organ is also available in an attractive black! It of course still features the range of styles, the clear tone and the dependable quality you have come to expect from both Johannus and the Studio 150. Available now from your Johannus dealer.
Feb. 29, 2012 - The month of March is the period of forty days on the church calendar. We devote ourselves – from a liturgical point of view – to the suffering and passing of Our Lord Jesus for 7 Sundays. A German chorale was central last year (Jesus, meine Zuversicht) and we used Psalm 22 two years ago, so this year you will be receiving a song from the “Boecxken”, which was published in Antwerp in 1539.
Feb. 6, 2012 - The Rembrandt 350 is an exceptional organ, named after the old Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. Its classic cabinet and various modern technologies make this beautiful organ a true work of art which lives up to its name. The Rembrandt 350 will enrich your musical life and give you many years of pleasure.
