07:00 PIPEDREAMS with Michael Barone: Bach and the Oberlin Flentrop – In celebration of this instrument’s 50th Anniversary as a provocative teaching tool, we review Bach’s Clavierübung III with faculty performers Christa Rakich and Jonathan William Moyer.

Any annotated performance of the entirety of this largest of Johann Sebastian Bach’s published organ collections lasts longer than can be incorporated in the two hour-long segments of this program. As a result, ours inevitably will be a ‘selective survey’ that includes the well-known prelude and fugue that bookend the volume, but only a sampler of the great and lesser chorale-settings that Bach brought together in this volume, music inspired by hymns representative of the Lutheran catechism.

In addition to the 3-manual, 44-stop 1974 Flentrop organ located on a balcony overlooking the Warner Concert Hall stage, performers also used the 2-manual, 18-stop 1989 Greg Harrold organ in 17th century Spanish style that stands on a platform at the rear of the hall (r. 11/15/24). Links are provided to scores, should you wish to follow along.

This broadcast also commemorates the 275th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach on July 28, 1750.
