Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck - Hexachord Fantasia

Composer: Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (April/May 1562 -- 16 October 1621) Performer: Jonathan Dimmock Year of recording: 2008 "Hexachord Fantasia" (Fantasia Ut re mi fa sol la à 4) SwWV 263, written in 1612. Played on the mean tone organ of the Reformed Church of Oosthuizen, The Netherlands. Built on a very simple theme, little more than an ascending and descending chromatic scale, this is an exercise in ornamentation and development. Sweelinck explores the full range of the instrument (the organ) from pedals to the top of the keyboard. He brings much variety to the presentation, and some repetition. This piece doesn't modulate - change key - and isn't strictly fugal, but the use of various stops (voices) add interest. The rhythm is steady, the tempo doesn't change at all. But the piece ends with fast runs of notes, by subdivision of the beat.
