Grainger's passionately humanistic setting of Franck's Chorale No. 2 is uniquely suited to the resources of the modern concert band. He did not want the band to sound like an organ. Instead, he created a rich, voice like sonority similar to the orchestral timbre of the D minor Symphony. It is by far his most ambitious scoring. At the age of 15, Cesar Franck. 1822-1890. traveled from his native Belgium to study organ and composition at the Paris Conservatoire. He remained in Paris for the rest of his life, working as a church organist and teaching piano and organ. In 1872, at the age of 50, he was named professor of organ at the Conservatoire. The same year he composed his popular Panis Angelicus, and as a result became more widely known as a composer. During the last eleven years of his life he wrote most of his compositions including the Symphonic Variations, the Violin Sonata, and the Symphony in D Minor. At a time when French music was often light in character, his was serious and profound. Franck's final and culminating achievement was the Three Chorals for Organ. The completed manuscript was at his fingertips as the priest arrived to administer last rites. The Three Chorals are organized in variation form. They are not as brief as the church chorals of Bach, but rather, extended symphonic compositions. Albert Schweitzer has commented that "the chorale in modern French organ literature means simply a fantasy on a formal, noble theme. " The Organ Choral No. 2 fits Schweitzer's description. The music contains references to the D Minor Symphony, Heroic Piece for Organ, and the Violin Sonata, as well as settings of the Christ motive of Franck's The Beatitudes. bar 115 and bar 274. The 2nd Choral opens with a chaconne-style bass theme. The melody passes successively through bass and treble voices leading to a lyrical second subject. bar 65. This new theme develops through a series of interspersed interludes arriving at a grand, virtuosic cadenza. bar 127. The chaconne variations resume, continuing to unfold until the first and second themes are combined. bar 195. More intense and complex variants lead to a powerful final statement of the opening theme. bar 259. The music concludes with a tender and poignant coda based on the "Christ motive. " Grainger's setting of the Choral No. 2 was first performed by the Interlochen Band on July 12, 1942. Grainger conducted. It is interesting to note that five years earlier at Interlochen, Grainger had conducted the 1st Franck Organ Choral in a band arrangement by his friend Ralph Leopold. Leopold's arrangement may have been an impetus for Grainger's setting of the 2nd Choral. Quite another factor may have been the composer's apprehension over the onset of World War II. In 1940, Percy and Ella Grainger moved away from their home in White Plains to escape the supposed vulnerability of the New York City area. They chose Springfield, Missouri, presumed safe from enemy air and naval attacks. It is not hard to imaging that he wanted his students to share Franck's healing message of love, hope, reaffirmation, and peace. The Interlochen program cover for the premier features Grainger's picture with the following inscription. a man of genius, force and achievement, renowned and honored throughout the world- who comes to us for the entire season with the sweet simplicity of a true gentleman and the rare patience of the exceptional teacher, with a gigantic intellect projected far beyond our petty problems but with a wide and sympathetic understanding for the lowliest among us. His visit is a privilege we humble hope to merit.

Grainger se passie humanistiese instelling van Franck se Chorale No 2 is uniek geskik om die hulpbronne van die moderne konsert orkes. Hy wou nie die band om te klink soos 'n orgaan. In plaas daarvan, het hy 'n ryk, soos die geluid van sonoriteit soortgelyk aan die orkes timbre van die D mineur Symphony. Dit is by verre sy mees ambisieuse scoring. Op die ouderdom van 15, Cesar Franck. 1822-1890. gereis het vanaf sy geboorteland België orrel en komposisie te studeer by die Parys Konservatorium. Hy het in Parys gebly vir die res van sy lewe, werk as 'n kerk orrelis en onderrig klavier en orrel. In 1872, op die ouderdom van 50 is hy aangewys as professor in orrel aan die Konservatorium. In dieselfde jaar het hy gekomponeer sy gewilde Panis Angelicus, en as 'n gevolg het meer wyd bekend as 'n komponis. Gedurende die laaste elf jaar van sy lewe het hy geskryf het die meeste van sy komposisies insluitend die Simfoniese Variasies, die vioolsonata, en die Simfonie in D mineur. In 'n tyd toe die Franse musiek was dikwels die lig in karakter, sy is ernstig en diepgaande. Franck se finale en hoogtepunt prestasie was die Drie Koralen vir orrel. Die voltooide manuskrip was op sy vingers as die priester kom laaste rituele te administreer. Die Drie Koralen georganiseer in variasie vorm. Hulle is nie so kort as die kerk Koralen van Bach, maar eerder uitgebrei simfoniese komposisies. Albert Schweitzer het gesê dat "die koraal in die moderne Franse orrel literatuur beteken eenvoudig 'n fantasie op 'n formele, edel tema. "Die orrel Choral No 2 pas Schweitzer se beskrywing. Die musiek bevat verwysings na die D mineur Symphony, heldhaftig orrel stuk, en die vioolsonata, sowel as instellings van die Christus motief van Franck se Die saligsprekings. bar 115 en kroeg 274. Die 2 Choral open met 'n Chaconne-styl bass tema. Die melodie agtereenvolgens deur bas en sopraan stemme wat lei tot 'n liriese tweede vak. bar 65. Hierdie nuwe tema ontwikkel deur 'n reeks van afgewissel intermezzo aankoms by 'n groot, virtuose cadenza. bar 127. Die Chaconne variasies hervat, gaan voort om te ontvou, totdat die eerste en tweede temas gekombineer. bar 195. Meer intense en komplekse variasies lei tot 'n kragtige finale verklaring van die opening tema. bar 259. Die musiek word afgesluit met 'n tender en aangrypende koda gebaseer op die "Christus motief. "Grainger se instelling van die Choral No 2 is die eerste keer deur die Interlochen Band op 12 Julie 1942. Grainger gedoen. Dit is interessant om daarop te let dat die vyf jaar vroeër by Interlochen, Grainger het die 1 Franck orrel Choral wat in 'n band reëling deur sy vriend Ralph Leopold. Leopold se reëling mag 'n stukrag vir Grainger se instelling van die 2 Choral gewees het. Nogal 'n ander faktor is dalk die komponis se vrees oor die aanvang van die Tweede Wêreldoorlog. In 1940, Percy en Ella Grainger wegbeweeg van hul huis in White Plains die vermeende kwesbaarheid van die New York City te ontsnap. Hulle het verkies om Springfield, Missouri, vermoed veilig van vyand lug en die see-aanvalle. Dit is nie moeilik om te beelding dat hy wou sy studente Franck se genesing boodskap van liefde, hoop, herbevestig en vrede te deel. Die Interlochen program dekking vir die premier funksies Grainger se prentjie met die volgende inskripsie. 'n man van genie, krag en prestasie, bekende en vereer die hele wêreld-wat aan ons kom vir die hele seisoen met die soet eenvoud van 'n ware gentleman en die seldsame geduld van die uitsonderlike onderwyser, met 'n reuse-intellek geprojekteerde ver bo ons petty probleme, maar met 'n wye en simpatieke begrip vir die geringste onder ons. Sy besoek is 'n voorreg wat ons nederige hoop op meriete.
