Cares and Concerns: I attended the funeral service for Helen Taylor as did a few other members.

Marilyn Rabbai and Larry DePasquale shared the organist responsibilities for the service.

A get well card was sent to Gail Gassaway after her elective foot surgery. It was a same day procedure

and she is home recovering.

Rev. J. Bert Carlson, former chaplain of our chapter and an AAGO, was diagnosed with advanced pancreas

cancer and is on hospice at his son’s. He is a member of St. Matthew’s parish in Moorestown. Pastor

Carlson served for years as pastor of St. Luke’s in West Collingswood, then later served as music director

at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Tom’s River. Thank you to Larry DePasquale for sharing this informa-

tion with us.

From the Hospitality Committee: Thanks to everyone who brought a tasty dessert to movie

night. We will be having breakfast at 9:30 before the masterclass at First United Methodist Church in

Moorestown. I will get the donuts and coffee so come and enjoy. There will be a reception on Sunday

after the concert that the church will be hosting. I thank them for doing that. - Cathy O’Neill

Publication News: Evelyn Larter has received confirmation that the anthem the chapter commissioned

for the Annual Guild Service last October will be published in the near future by St James Music Press.

Titled Love Divine, it is scored for SATB, solo violin and organ. In addition to creating a Facebook page for

Evelyn Larter Music, Evelyn is also working at uploading her unpublished music to Sheet Music Press, the

Chelsea Chen: Program Notes

P A G E 4

S F O R Z A N D O

Ola Gjeilo (b. 1978): Sinfonietta (2002)

Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo moved to New York City in 2001 to enter the Master’s program in composition at The Juilliard

School where he and Ms. Chen were classmates. Gjeilo has become one of the most frequently performed composers in the cho-

ral world with pieces such as his popular Sunrise Mass. His organ piece Sinfonietta is a “little symphony” of seven minutes full of

lively passagework for the hands and spirited lines for the feet. It features a prominent pedal cadenza inspired by J.S. Bach’s Toc-

cata in C Major, BWV 564 and a modal (mixolydian) chorale. Ms. Chen gave the U.S. premiere of Sinfonietta in 2004 at a Juilliard

Composers’ Concert.

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907): First Peer Gynt Suite, Op. 46

In 1875 Grieg composed incidental music for the play Peer Gynt by Henrik Ibsen. He later extracted eight movements and formed

two suites, of which the First Peer Gynt Suite remains immensely popular. The dark and sometimes surreal tale by Ibsen is one of a

Faustian Peer Gynt—an anti-hero who bumbles through life’s adventures, taking advantage of everyone and everything. Originally

for full orchestra, the First Peer Gynt Suite was adapted for organ by Harvey Gaul.

Chelsea Chen (b. 1983): Chorale-Prelude on “Bethold” and Taiwanese Suite (2003)

The chorale tune Bethold by Mark Sedio is associated with Brian Wren's text on the Transfiguration ("Jesus on the Mountain

Peak"). In the initial bars I imagined Jesus and his three disciples climbing a mountain to the sound of birds. A murmuring accom-

paniment then introduces the chorale over a dance-like pedal line. My harmonization throughout emphasizes the pentatonicism

found in the original melody and mixes in the Dorian mode.

I was inspired to write Taiwanese Suite after hearing a beautiful orchestral arrangement of several popular Taiwanese folk songs.

When I later studied in Taiwan on a Fulbright scholarship, I discovered that these songs are a source of national pride to the Tai-

wanese people, who endured many years of Japanese occupation during and before World War II. In my piece, each movement

features a song about Taiwan’s picturesque countryside or its colorful locals. Taiwanese Suite was written in honor of my paternal

Chinese/Taiwanese ancestry.

J.S. Bach (1685-1750): Prelude and Fugue in D Major, BWV 532

Bach biographer Philipp Spitta (1841-1894) considered the Prelude and Fugue in D Major, BWV 532 to be “one of the most dazzlingly

beautiful of all the master's organ works.” Generally dated to the early Weimar period, the work is notable for its charm, drama,

and the unprecedented virtuosity of the pedal line. Opening with triumphant, ascending pedal scales, the prelude’s second section is

of a more delicate texture. An unexpected fully diminished chord sets off the third section of a series of unstable harmonies that

eventually make their way back to D major. The idiosyncratic fugue subject is divided in half by a long rest and almost childlike in

the obstinate insistence of the opening figure. The fugue is consistently lighthearted and playful up until its flourishing final pedal

lines.

Ad Wammes (b. 1953): Miroir (1992)

Ad Wammes is a contemporary Dutch composer rapidly gaining notoriety in the classical music world, having begun his musical

career in a rock band. He is also well-known for writing the music for the Dutch version of Sesame Street. Miroir blends minimalist

influences with samba rhythms, gradually building from two flutes to full organ, as the music grows more intense.

Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921): Finale from Symphony No. 3 “Organ”

Saint-Saëns conducted the premiere of his famous “Organ” Symphony in 1886 at the Royal Philharmonic Society of London with

the Prince and Princess of Wales in attendance. Written at the peak of his career, he wrote that "I gave everything to [the sym-

phony] I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again." A virtuoso pianist and organist, Saint-Saëns

was able to pour his knowledge of these instruments into this symphony of two movements. The “finale” transcription by David

Briggs begins at the point when the organ crashes in with a C Major chord. What follows is eight minutes of soaring melodies and

fugal counterpoint, developing themes from earlier portions of the symphony and ending in a blaze of C Major.

From the Treasurer -- by Gail Gassaway

V O L U M E 6 I S S U E 7 P A G E 5

So many friends, relatives and colleagues of

Helen Taylor have blessed our chapter with

donations in her honor. We are indeed

honored to have received over $1500 in

gifts. This is truly a reflection of the great

esteem in which Helen was held. Her pass-

ing is a great loss to us and the many lives

she touched.

I have received so many wonderful notes

from the donors. Here are some of the

many remembrances that were shared:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This donation is in honor of the

memory of Helen Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was

my church organist growing up, and she

took me under her wing at a very young

age. She taught me how to play with an

accompanist and how to accompany a

choir. She was always kind and patient. I

hope this donation can be used to foster

other young musicians in churches across

the Southwest Jersey Chapter.

Sincerely,

Amanda Lawless

To the AGO members, friends and family of

Helen Taylor,

My name is Kathleen Gillet, and

Mrs. Taylor was one of the most influential

teachers in my life. In autumn of 1989, as a 7

year old second grader, I eagerly joined the

Junior Choir at Memorial Presbyterian

Church. That first year was the first of ten

years singing as a choir member, and it set

the tone for many years. Mrs. Tylor taught

us “Hymns of the month” - among them

“The God of Abraham Praise”, “Once in

Royal David’s City” and others.

Only a few weeks into the Au-

tumn, Mrs. Taylor took us to the attic to see

the pipes of the organ. One look made up

my mind that someday I’d learn to play the

organ. When I found out that the opportu-

nity was available at tiny Cottey College in

Missouri, I took it and learned as much as

possible both there and at the University of

Delaware.

Music has been neither my aca-

demic major nor my vocation, but it has

remained a constant in my life and of my

family’s favorite forms of worship to God.

Mrs. Taylor did a lot to make it so.

Respectfully,

Kathleen Gillet

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dear Mrs. Gassaway,

I am enclosing a check, given in fond mem-

ory and love for Helen Taylor.

Helen, and her late husband Bob, played for

our wedding on August 22, 1959. As I am

sure you know, Bob was an excellent French

Horn player. The organ in our church jn

Auburn, NY was an excellent Aeolian Skin-

ner and Helen made the most of it. The

music was lovely.

Bob Taylor was my late wife’s uncle, being a

Sunday, March 5 at 4PM: SAINT MARY'S EPISCOPAL

CHURCH IN BURLINGTON PRESENTS PHILADELPHIA

YOUTH ORCHESTRA’S BRAVO BRASS ENSEMBLE IN “YE

OLDE BRASS”

The talented members of the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra’s Bravo

Bass ensemble will present a concert titled “Ye Olde Brass” on Back by

popular demand, they will perform once again at Saint Mary’s Episcopal

Church, located at 145 West Broad Street in the center of historic

Burlington, NJ. The concert features music of Eng-

lish Elizabethan composers William Byrd, John Bull, Giles Farnaby, Or-

lando Gibbons, and others performed in the historic beauty Saint

Mary's. The Parish, with its Anglican roots and traditions, is a perfect

location for this concert. The Parish is comprised of the oldest church

building in New Jersey - the 17th oldest in the nation - Old Saint Mary's

(1702), and the first cruciform church built in the United States - New

Saint Mary's (1854), the first Episcopal Cathedral in NJ. Mayor

Conaway of Burlington City, and Mary Anne Bell, Superintendent of

Burlington Township Board of Education will be honored guests in the

audience. Saint Mary's 150 year-old peal of Whitechapel tower bells

will be rung prior to the concert.

Paul Bryan, Curtis Institute Dean of Faculty and Students, is the Direc-

tor and Conductor of Bravo Brass and he is pleased to return to St.

Mary’s. He said, “The concert last year at Saint Mary’s was a highlight

for the musicians. We greatly appreciate the invitation from the Par-

ish to return, and we look forward to the performance.”

Organist and Choirmaster Lee Millhous enthusiastically anticipates

Bravo Brass’s return visit to the church. He said, "Saint Mary's is

thrilled to host the Bravo Brass ensemble again this year as the major

event of our Music Series. The talent and commitment of this fine

group of young musicians is remarkable, and Paul Bryan's leadership

and musicianship are inspirational to performers and audience alike.”

Early arrival is recommended because the program last year attracted

beyond seating capacity. The Parish parking lot is located off Talbot

Street, and there is ample on-street parking surrounding the Parish

grounds. A free will offering will be received, and a festive reception

will follow in Saint Mary's Guild House.

For more information about the concert contact either Bravo Brass

and the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, at www.pyos.org and (215) 545-

0502, or Saint Mary's Parish Office at (609) 386-0902.
