Ellis B. Kohs - Passacaglia, for organ and strings, K. 11 (1946) Performed by: Maija Lehtonen - organ Manfred Gräsbeck - conductor (not sure which string orchestra is performing, the recording doesn't specify!) From the liner notes of CRI CD 795: The Passacaglia was commissioned for a CBS radio network program by noted organist E. Power Biggs and members of the Boston Symphony directed by William Strickland, broadcast from the Germanic Museum at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was performed again several times by Mr. Biggs with the Fiedler Sinfonietta on CBS. It was chosen for performance at a John F. Kennedy Memorial Concert at Christ Church Cathedral, St. Louis, along with works by Piston (one of Kohs' composition professors), Poulenc, and Mozart (the Requiem Mass), in 1965. The first of Kohs' compositions to employ serial techniques, these are combined with tonal procedures so as to make the work, in effect, in the key of Eb. Some of the other unusual features include the embellishment of the tones in the 'row' by passing-tones. The 'theme' itself appears only after a few introductory variations. About the composer: Ellis B. Kohs +••.••(...)) was an American composer. He studied at San Francisco Conservatory, Julliard, and the University of Chicago. During those years, he studied composition with Bernard Wagenaar and Walter Piston and musicology with Willi Apel and Hugo Leichtentritt. Following WWII, Kohs enjoyed a long teaching career, the bulk of which was spent working at USC, where he remained on the faculty for 38 years. During this time, he wrote three textbooks, one apiece on musical theory, form, and composition. Kohs' original music has been associated with the 'neobaroque aesthetic of Hindemith' and described as 'harmonically dissonant, largely contrapuntal, [employing] Bartokian asymmetric rhythms and variable meters, with structure clearly defined and pellucid texture. For the most part, his writing generates power but it is also capable of meditative repose and lyrical eloquence. When, on occasion, he employs the twelve-tone system, he modifies it radically to meet the demands of the composition at hand, often using the row as a motivically unifying element' (D. Ewan, 1962).
