Gerard GILLEN, Professor and Head of Music at the National University of
Ireland, Maynooth, and Titular Organist of Dublin’s Pro-Cathedral, is widely
regarded as one of Ireland’s leading church and concert organists. A First
Class Honours graduate of University College, Dublin, Oxford University,
and the Royal Conservatoire of Music, Antwerp (where he gained the Prix
d’Excellence, the highest award for instrumental performance in the class
of Flor Peeters), Professor Gillen has an international reputation as an organ
recitalist and has given over 800 recitals throughout Europe and America,
performing at such prestigious venues as the Royal Festival Hall, London,
King’s College, Cambridge, St Thomas’, New York, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, St Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna, St Thomas’, Leipzig, St Bavo, Haarlem,
cathedrals and major recital venues in Antwerp, Bratislava, Brussels, Brugges,
Copenhagen, Freiburg, Ghent, Hamburg, Lübeck, Malaga, Oslo, Notre Dame,
Paris, Pittsburgh, Potsdam, Rome, San Francisco, Talinn, Turin, Warsaw, etc.
He has also been a member of international competition juries in Oxford,
Ann Arbor, London and Dublin.
Gerard Gillen was the founder-chairman of the Dublin International Organ &
Choral Festival of which he was the artistic director from 1990-2000. In 1984
he was conferred with a Knighthood of St. Gregory (KCSG) by the Vatican.
He is currently chair of the National Advisory Committee on Church Music
to the Irish Episcopal Conference. Other honours include the John Betts Visiting Fellowship at Oxford (1992), and in December 1996 he was nominated
the classical winner in Ireland’s TV National Entertainment Awards, the first
organist to be so honoured.
Eamonn NOLAN began playing the trumpet in the Rathfarnham Concert
Band before studying for five years at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and
Drama in Glasgow. In Scotland he worked with the BBC Scottish Symphony
and Scottish National Jazz Orchestras. Now working as a freelance trumpet
player based in Dublin, Eamonn enjoys a varied musical life, appearing with
the NSOI, RTECO, Orchestra of St Cecilia, Opera Theatre Company and many
other groups. In 2005 Eamonn gave recitals at the National Concert Hall, Dublin,
the theatre of the Dublin Institute of Technology, Rathmines and at the Bank of
Ireland Arts Centre in Dublin, Christchurch Cathedral in Waterford, Maynooth
University and Limerick’s Georgian House. He is a member of the Sovereign
and Athem Brass Quintets and also the Dublin based swing band, “Holly and
The Go-lights”. Eamonn currently teaches the trumpet in the DIT Conservatory
and since 2002 has been a soloist and faculty member for the “Summer Music
on the Shannon” course at University of Limerick.
Programme notes
H. Stötzel: Concerto in D
Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel was from the Thuringian area of Germany and
was a close contemporary of J.S. Bach who thought highly of him as a
composer. In fact Mitsler placed him above Bach in his listing of leading
German composers! A prolific composer of opera, secular vocal genres
and instrumental concerti, he writes with solid craftsmanship in the
transitional idiom of his time. This three-movement concerto, originally
written for trumpet and strings, is typical of his melody-driven style.
C. Saint-Saëns: Fantasie in E Flat
Camille Saint-Saëns is known today as a composer of glittering orchestral
music, but he was throughout his life an accomplished organist, occupying the important position of organist of the church of the Madeleine in
Paris. Throughout his life he composed for the instrument which was so
close to his heart, and a good example of his organ composition is this
Fantasie in E Flat which dates from 1857, a short two-movement, prelude
and fugue style work, in which we can see how he transferred to the
organ something of the colour, glitz and flair he brought to the orchestra
and to his piano writing.
A. Hovhaness: Prayer of St Gregory
Alan Hovhannes was an American composer of Armenian background
who composed prolifically in a wide variety of genres. His music expresses
to a large extent the composer’s life-long interest in meditation and mysticism, inspired by both his studies of Armenian music and of the music of
India. A composer who tended towards static use of harmony, his work is
nearly always religious in nature. These characteristics are well illustrated
in the powerful piece which dates from 1946.
S. O’Riada: Ag Críost an Síol
Trad.: An Chúlann
T. Moore: Believe me if all these endearing…
These melodies, arranged for trumpet and organ, bring us back to the
heartland of Irish folk music, although the first, Ag Críost an Síol, was, in
fact, an original tune composed in folk idiom by one of Ireland’s most
accomplished 20th-century composers, Sean Ó Riada. An Chúlann is one
of the country’s most haunting and moving folk melodies, while Believe
me if all these endearing young charms is a patriotic love song by the
great 19th-century Irish lyric poet, Thomas Moore
C.V. Stanford: Intermezzo (On an Irish Air)
Postlude, op.105 no.6
Sir Charles Stanford was born in Dublin in 1852, and moved to England
at the age of 18, where, in later years he became professor of Music at
Cambridge University and a leading composer of Anglican church music.
However, although firmly part of the British musical establishment, he
never forgot his Irish roots, as Irish musical idiom is ever present in much
of his instrumental music, as we clearly hear in this ‘Intermezzo’ on one of
Ireland’s most beautiful and well-known folk melodies, the ‘Derry Air’.
Similarly, the postlude from his Op.105 collection (c. 1900) echoes Irish
folk idiom in its modal language and melodic contours, which he successfully combines with typical Victorian grandeur of expression.
Trad.: ‘Tis the Last Rose of Summer
Trad. (arr.: T. Newscome): In Dublin’s Fair City
These final two pieces for trumpet and organ again give an example of
Moore’s feeling for romantic love poetry and music, while the final In
Dublin’s Fair City is an example of one of the most internationally popular
of Irish ballads treated in a light-hearted and virtuoso manner.
