Organ & Clavichord: Companions for Centuries
Portland Maine American Guild of Organists Event at Woodfords Church
Presented by Kevin Birch
November 7 Saturday at 10:00am
A Concert and Instrument Demonstration
“Organ and Clavichord: Companions for Centuries,” with Kevin Birch, Executive Director of
St. John's Organ Society and Director of Music/Organist at St. John's Roman Catholic Church in Bangor, takes us on a journey of musical discovery with keyboard music of the 17th and 18th Centuries on clavichords by Martin Kather (Hamburg – 2020) after Praetorius (1621), Andreas Hermert (Berlin -2023) after an anonymous Austrian clavichord (c. 1700), and Jeremy Adams (Danvers, MA – 1996) after Manuel de Sousa Carniero (1796).
The most popular domestic keyboard instrument of the Baroque era, the clavichord was and is to this day prized for its delicacy and expressive range. Birch’s program, which will begin with a discussion and demonstration of the instruments’ mechanisms, will feature music of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Johann Krieger, Johann Jakob Froberger, Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
