          PEKC is pleased to begin offering free downloads of music related to the work of the Center and of interest to visitors to this website. We are currently offering live concert performances by Gavin Black from the mid 1990's, and performances by members of Col Legno, taped in the summer of 2005.

 

           We are also extremely proud to offer two pieces recently recorded by Professor Eugene Roan of Westminster Choir College on the Charles Ruggles organ at Hillsborough reformed Church in Millstone Borough, New Jersey. These are Basse de Trompette by Nicolas-Antoine Lebègue (ca.1631-1702) and Plein Jeu by Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers (ca. 1632 - 1714).

 

        Gavin Black, harpsichord and organ:

          The two Bach movements and the Froberger are played on a Keith Hill Flemish/German harpsichord from 1978. The Frescobaldi is played on a Keith Hill Italian harpsichord from 1975. The Handel is taken from a concert by the Princeton Baroque ensemble in May of 1989 in Boston. The organ used is a chamber organ built by Philip Tyre.

           Col Legno:

         Col Legno - Jill Crawford, baroque flute, Stephen Berkelhammer, baroque oboe and recorder, David Black, 'cello, and Gavin Black, harpsichord - play the opening movements from two Sonatas, an Affetuoso from a Sonata in C Major for flute, recorder, and continuo by Johann Joachim Quantz, and a Largo from a Sonata in d minor for flute, oboe, and continuo by Georg Phillip Telemann.

           Stephen Berkelhammer plays a Gigue for unaccompanied recorder by Telemann.

           The Allemande from Bach's Third Suite for Unaccompanied 'Cello is played by David Black

          The Allegro played by Jill Crawford, Gavin Black, and David Black is the third movement of the Sonata in G Major, Opus 1, Number 10 by the 18th century Scottish composer Charles McClean.

            "Katherine Ogie" is an unaccompanied flute work from the Caledonian Pocket Companion by James Oswald, published in 1759. It is played by Jill Crawford.

 

            We hope to add more selections from time to time. Also, we hope to offer fairly soon a CD of the complete recital from which these Bach French Suite movements were drawn. This will be sold to benefit the programs of the Princeton Early Keyboard Center. Please check back here for further information, or, to be put on an email list to be notified about this and other releases, please send email to info@pekc.org mentioning "CD info" in the subject heading. If you wish to get in touch with Col Legno to dicuss possible concert bookings or the availability of members of the group for workshops, lectures or coaching, please send email to collegno@mail.com
