Guy Whatley, organ and harpsichord: “Melodious Byrd” @ St. Alban’s Episcopal Church
Sep 24 @ 3:00 pm

The Arizona Early Music Society presents Guy Whatley in a program of music for organ and harpsichord by the English Renaissance composer William Byrd.

William Byrd’s beautiful music for keyboards was revolutionary. More complex and advanced than anything by his contemporaries, it would be studied and copied by future generations, and would deeply influence the future development of keyboard art. Four hundred years after Byrd’s death, Byrd scholar and performer Guy Whatley presents Melodious Byrd, a diverse concert of Byrd’s celebrated keyboard music on organ, harpsichords, and virginal.

Presentation by Jesse Eschbach: The Organ Wars of Paris @ Northminster Presbyterian Church
Oct 14 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

The Organ Wars of Paris—the Quarrel That Just Won’t Go Away

This session will give us a glimpse into the fractious split in the French organ world pitting “reformers” Norbert Dufourcq, André Marchal, and organ builder Victor Gonzales against the traditionalists Charles-Marie Widor and Marcel Dupré. This split culminated in a tragic rupture between Dupré and the famed Jeanne Demessieux. The presentation will be based on Dr. Eschbach’s access and research into Jeanne Demessieux’s diaries as well as recollections of Marcel Dupré’s granddaughter and events witnessed by Marie-Madeleine Duruflé and passed on to Dr. Eschbach in interviews.
