ORGAN IMPROVISATION BETWEEN TRADITION AND CREATION
6 JULY / 11 JULY
GENERAL INFORMATION
The course consists of the practical study of various aspects of organ improvisation through its forms and diverse languages: traditional forms such as variation, fugue, passacaglia, elaboration of Gregorian chant or chorale themes, as well as free forms to develop the most creative aspects in contemporary languages. Topics may also include improvisation for silent films or more collective forms of improvisation.
The course is therefore intended both for musicians wishing to approach simple forms, for example for liturgical accompaniment, and for more experienced organists who want to develop their creativity through a wide variety of rhythmic, melodic, harmonic, and sonic languages.
ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (optional)
For the admission exam, candidates must present two free improvisations of approximately 5 minutes each:
