Tristan Rhodes was educated at Peabody Conservatory of Music of Johns Hopkins University and Westminster Choir College. Widely known for his work as conductor of National Boychoir of America and later the New England Vocal Ensemble, Tristan Rhodes has distinguished himself as an organist of note in both the US and for the past 10 years has received critical acclaim in Canada where he was organist and master of choristers at the Anglican churches of St. John the Divine, Victoria and Historic St. Paul's Naval and Garrison Church – the oldest church in the Pacific Northwest also in Victoria, the capitol of British Columbia. Currently he is the organist and master of choristers at the 3000 member Sacred Heart Parish, Bradenton, Florida. |

Johannes Brahms is best known as a late German Romantic composer of music for solo piano, orchestra, voice, choir, chamber music and one of the 3-B's in the great musical triumvirate “Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.” In his younger years Rhodes played a larger repertoire of Brahms, but readily admits that only recently had he become aware of Brahms' small, but significant oeuvre of works for solo organ. In her book “The Organ Music of Johannes Brahms,” organ scholar and arranger Barbara Owen states that shortly after Brahms began his life-long friendship with composers and pianists Robert and Clara Schumann he became enamored with the pipe organ – so much so that he wrote to the Schumann's that he was giving up touring as a pianist and devote himself to organ performance and composition. The entire collection of Brahms organ music is enough for one and a half recitals and was composed at the extreme ends of his artistic output. The virtuosic preludes and fugues were composed early in his career when he and the Schumanns began studying the newly rediscovered contrapuntal music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The Eleven Chorale Preludes, Opus 122 were the last music Brahms wrote. Composed the summer of 1896 – shortly after Clara Schumann's death and just before his own passing - not surprising they are based on the most famous Lutheran “end of things” chorales. Rhodes' recital will include works from both periods. [Press Release] |
