Music representing 16th through 21st century compositions and international styles displays the organ's vast tonal resources.

Following the organ's demonstration, audience keyboard musicians will be invited to play some favorite music on various combinations of the organ's digital, pipe and virtual instruments!

P R O G R A M N O T E S
Prolific French composer Couperin spent the end of his life as court organist at the Palace of Versailles. Early in life, Beethoven auditioned as church organist in Bonn. His organ compositions reflect a young man’s experimentations with the new Romantic key changes and harmonies. Better known for orchestral works, Bruckner’s few organ pieces deserve a hearing. Nyquist taught organ at the University of Santa Clara. Piontek lives in Boise, ID. He composed his Air at 12 years old, on a day when his dad ridiculed him for aspiring to a career in church music. He went over to his church, and this Air was the result. Purcell’s seldom heard Fanfare sounds out the joyous and elegant.
Nelson’s Flourish just seemed the right thing to open the second half tonight. It would make a grand wedding march. Elmore taught composition at Curtis in Philadelphia. Many West Coast organists studied with him. Fedak’s two chorale preludes provide a very unusual, beautiful take on two well-known hymn tunes. He set Beecher in 5/4 meter. Walther composed many Baroque chorale preludes in the German tradition. Mendelssohn provides a very sweet Romantic slow movement Adagio. Mader taught at Occidental College. McCabe’s trumpet ventures make wonderful church postludes. Peeters’ Toccata--rarely heard, seems a dramatic, regal curtain drop tonight.

BIOGRAPHY
https://www.thomasmellan.com/

Thomas Mellan is an organist, keyboardist, harpischordist, guitarist pianist, producer and composer based in Los Angeles. In 2012, he played his first recital at Eglise St. Eustache in Paris. He is featured in the official Walt Disney concert hall organ DVD. In 2018, his European tour included a residency at the Lviv Concert Hall, where he gave the Ukrainian premier of Messiaen’s Livre d’Orgue on the largest organ in Ukraine. As a classical organist he specializes in virtuosic repertoire from the 19th and 20th centuries as well as French baroque music.

His classical music has been performed in America, Europe and Asia by performers including the Sakura Cello Quintet, Orest Smovzh, Stephen Tharp and Jared Jacobsen. His output features « impossible » organ music that attempts to push the limits of organ technique, but also a 40-minute set of inventions for solo violin, a concerto for five cellos, and more esoteric, nasty-sounding « music ».

He composes for and plays keys and guitar in the technical death metal band Travasticism, with Tristan Heinicke and Bryan Lu.

He's the creator behind the darksynth project Decapital.

He plays harpsichord and keys in Delirium Musicum, the dynamic and cutting edge conductor-less ensemble from Los Angeles. He appears on Delirium’s debut album “Seasons”, released in 2023 by Warner Classics and produced by Fred Vogler.

He graduated from the USC Thornton School of Music in 2017 with a BM in organ and composition and in 2020 with an MM in organ and an MM in composition. He attended Thornton for 7 years on full-tuition scholarship.

Dr. Les Deutsch plays his virtual recreation of Franck's Basilica organ!
Music starts at 8 pm and can be seen on Facebook LIVE: https://www.facebook.com/StansMusicParlor90019
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-les-deutsch-plays-his-virtual-recreation-of-francks-basilica-organ-tickets-873003415717

BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Les Deutsch may be best known as a NASA mathematician – but he retired from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in December, 2022. Since then, he has had to fall back on his other career as a musician and composer. Les has been the Caltech Organist since 1974, so this is his 50th anniversary. He has performed at Stan’s Music Parlor in the past as both a concert organist and a theater organist. This time around, his concert will focus on “musical projects I have accomplished since my retirement.”

PROGRAM
Among other things, you will hear some new arrangements and a new composition for organ. You will hear some chorale preludes by Marcel Dupré – samples of the recent recordings Les made of the entire series of 79 chorales. You will hear all of this played on an organ Les designed as a recreation of the Cavaillé-Coll instrument built for the Basilica of Saint Clotilde in Paris, France, as it existed during the tenure of organist César Franck.
