SUMMARY:Organ Concerto Concert: Sinfonia with Guest Joel Bacon
DESCRIPTION:The concert\, performed by CSU Organ Professor Joel Bacon with 
 the CSU Sinfonia conducted by Wes Kenney\, is for anyone who wants to hear
  and to be overwhelmed by grand organ sonorities. In talking about the eve
 nt\, Joel Bacon said\, "The sound in the room is going to be (insert adjec
 tive here that best coincides with Dr. Bacon's expressive hand motions and
  face)!" His enthusiasm for the instrument and it's repertoire is contagio
 us.\n\nThe program is the best introduction to the organ concerto that an 
 audience could hope for with the best of each genre - Baroque\, Romantic\,
  and contemporary - all on one program. "Hearing the Sinfonia on stage wit
 h the pipe organ is going to be super thrilling\, and I might collapse on 
 the keys with exhaustion at the end\," said Bacon. This is a concert you w
 on't want to miss!\n\nTHE PROGRAM\n\nGeorge Frideric Handel - Organ Concer
 to in B flat major\, Op. 7 No. 1\n\nHandel\, who wrote the first organ con
 certos\, played these compositions himself during oratorio intermissions a
 nd other concerts that featured orchestral works. This one is unusual as i
 t is the only Baroque concerto that requires pedals\; it can be assumed th
 at Handel must have had an especially wonderful pipe organ!\n\nJoseph Rhei
 nberger - Organ Concerto No. 1 in F major\, Op. 137\n\nJoseph Rheinberger 
 must be considered Lichtenstein's most important composer\, however\, he l
 ived in Munich\, and was sought after as a composition teacher. Known for 
 organ and choral works\, this is the first major organ concerto of the Rom
 antic era. This beautiful\, tuneful\, and lyric work is typically orchestr
 ated for the time\; the piece only utilizes strings and horns\, allowing t
 he organ to play the role of the wind instruments.\n\nFrancis Poulenc - Co
 ncerto for Organ\, Timpani\, and Strings in G minor\n\nCounted as the grea
 test organ concerto of the 20th century\, the piece was commissioned by Pr
 incesse Edmond de Polignac\, the heiress of the Singer Sewing Machine fort
 une\, to be premiered by Maurice Durufle on her mansion's pipe organ (duri
 ng one of her renowned parties). Poulenc had recently converted to Catholi
 cism\, and the concerto conveys serious and religious qualities not typica
 l of the composer's previous works\, balanced with the variety and light-h
 earted moments for which he was known. Listen to the original!
