Many of these selections are also available in complete form at my artist page @ mp3.com, http://www.mp3.com/bpl ( http//come.to/clavichord ).
A preliminary version of this project is available as the two discs On a Tangent and On a Cotangent at mp3.com. Those two discs include the public domain music only; they do not include any of the pieces which might need copyright clearance (Bela Bartok, Joe Pass). When The Domesticated Clavichord is published as a conventional release, those preliminary mp3.com versions will likely be discontinued.

Hymn Vignettes and Variations for Clavichord(See the program notes for more details about each piece. This CD is available at mp3.com.)
This project is intended for publication on CD and cassette. The selections are all drawn from
Hymnal: A Worship Book (1992), currently in use by the Mennonite and Brethren denominations,
but most of these hymn and chorale tunes can be found in many other hymnals as well.
The album is a compilation of music from the standard classical organ repertoire plus new arrangements. It is intended for a broad audience: anyone who knows these hymns and chorales, the clavichord, or the related sounds of dulcimer, harpsichord, guitar, or organ. It will appeal both to the connoisseur of keyboard music and to the general listener who simply enjoys hearing these tunes. The new arrangements recorded here can be used as regular service music played on the organ, harpsichord, or piano, and could also be published separately as such. Most of these are generally in an 18th century style, but there are also a few touches of jazz influence and other 20th century techniques. |
