About this arrangement

Organ - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.914822 Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by Michael R. Kearney. 20th Century. Score. 18 pages. Homestead Press #4846935. Published by Homestead Press (A0.914822). This transcription of "Jupiter" arose from a practical need. The existing organtranscriptions of Holst’s famous work assume the existence of moderninstruments with vast tonal resources and memory banks at their disposal. Thisarrangement is for the Other Ones-the much less perfect organs with whoselimited registers, faulty combination actions, and untuned or untunable ranksthe ordinary organist copes on a weekly basis.Envisioned in this transcription is a medium-sized three-manual instrumentcomprising an enclosed Swell with 8-foot and 4-foot reeds, an unenclosed Greatwith something approximating an 8-foot festival trumpet, a Positiv in theBaroque style, and a Pedal of 16- and 8-foot stops with appropriate couplers.But the transcription will work on larger as well as slightly smaller instruments;the general registration suggestions provide freedom for the organist to adaptto the specific capabilities of an instrument. Where the tone color changes, oneof the hands will often drop out for a few measures in order to facilitate manualstop adjustments if necessary.These principles are intended to provide a suitable diversity of voices andtimbres to allow the organist to produce an artistic rendering worthy of Holstwhile working within the limitations of less-than-perfect instruments. Ofcourse, the performer will also benefit from careful study of theinstrumentation in the original orchestral score.Michael R.
