Dr. Freese was the recipient of the Indiana University Oswald Ragatz Distinguished Alumni Award for 2017. She is the only American woman to have recorded at L’Eglise de la Sainte-Trinité\, Paris on the landmark instrument where Guilmant\, Messiaen and Hakim were titular organists. Her fourth compact disc entitled\, Faythe Freese à l’Orgue de l’Eglise de la Sainte Trinité\, has received critical acclaim in The Diapason\, The American Organist and Tracker Magazine. Her fifth compact disc\, recorded at Magdeburg Cathedral\, Germany\, entitled\, The Freese Collection is Dr. Freese’s most recent release. The solo organ work entitled\, “The Freese Collection”\, a work by Dr. Pamela Decker\, was commissioned and premiered by Dr. Freese in January 2013. She was also the featured artist on Dr. Decker’s compact disc entitled\, Museum of the Dance\, Vol. 4.

Fort Lowell Rd\nLunch follows\n \n \nIn 1854 the United States bought from Mexico the lower 100 miles of what is now the State of Arizona. It was called the Gadsden Purchase after the congressman who agitated for land to provide a route for the construction of a southern railroad line running from East coast to West coast. A railroad line was eventually built and the first train arrived in Tucson in 1880. That train and others to follow brought many things not previously available to this desert region outpost. Among these items were pipe organs\, constructed by organ firms in the East. \nIn this presentation we will have a look at these early instruments and all others that have come to the region up to the present time. This PowerPoint presentation will include many photographs of churches and organs\, as well as\, audio clips of the pipe organs. The presenter will be guild member David Gay. Visual and audio clips will be provided by guild member Stan Kartchner. \nThe photo on the right of the page is the 1903 Murray Harris Pipe Organ at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Bisbee\, AZ. This organ was one of the instruments extant in the period. URL:https://saago.org/event/pipe-organs-of-the-gadsden-purchase/ LOCATION:Northminster Presbyterian Church\, 2450 E.

Few of us start our musical journeys with clear ideas of the steps we would need to take and the challenges we would encounter. \nDr. Raymond T. Ryder\, SAAGO Dean and Piano Director\, Pima Community College\, will address how musicians\, pianists particularly\, can successfully prepare to transition into service playing\, choir accompanying\, and leading rehearsals. During this seminar/workshop\, Dr. Ryder will present proven strategies\, and resources\, for improving our musicianship skills. Dr. Ryder will also share repertoire suggestions for pianists and organists (since we often do a bit of both).

Dr. Jeffrey Campbell\, and Stephen Keyl will collaborate in a complete performance of this cornerstone of the organ repertory on the beautiful Paul Fritts organ at St. Alban’s. \nThe Great Eighteen are a group of ambitious\, large-scale organ works based on Lutheran chorales. Bach assembled them toward the end of his life from pieces he had written years earlier\, revising and in some cases expanding them\, perhaps intending to have them printed. Many are favorites with organists and audiences\, such as: the brilliant fantasia on “Come\, Holy Ghost” for full organ; the lyrical “Savior of the Nations\, Come”; and the quietly moving “Before Thy Throne I Now Appear\,” said to have been revised by the composer shortly before he died.
