The Trittico Gregoriano (Gregorian Triptych) for organ was composed in 1997, on the occasion of the commemorative events, held in Amalfi in July of that year, for the 50th anniversary of the death of Antonio Tirabassi. An important musicologist and organist, Tirabassi was born in Amalfi and later moved to Brussels, where he composed his important studies on the tactus as the basis of the interpretation of early Renaissance music. The Triptych is divided into three “panels,” each movement characterized by a different atmosphere and based on a theme taken from the Gregorian chant repertoire. The chants are immersed in very changeable harmonic and contrapuntal atmospheres, with the intention of reviving the great patrimony of ancient Church music, expressed in a modern language and transmitted through that greatest of sacred, liturgical instruments: the organ.
The music on this page was recorded with the Schantz organ sampleset of First Baptist Church of Riverside, CA, on a Apple Computer system, by Andrea Amici. Thanks to Jonathan Orwig who made and donated the sampleset to the CIC.
