The image shows a program for a Thursday Noon Recital Series held at the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard University, on April 24, 1975. The recital features organist James Johnson.

The program is titled "Music from the French Baroque" and includes the following pieces:

  1. Les Cloches by Nicholas le Bègue (1630-1702)
  2. Suite du Second Ton by Antoine Guilain (d. 1722)
    • Prelude
    • Tierce en taille
    • Duo
    • Basse de Trompette
    • Trio de Flutes
    • Dialogue
    • Petit Plein jeu
    • Basse de Trompette
  3. Chromhorne sur la Taille by Louis Marchand (1669-1732)
  4. Offertoire sur les Grands jeux by François Couperin le Grand (1668-1733)

The program notes explain that French organ literature of the 17th and 18th centuries was composed for specific registrations (groups of stops) as indicated in the titles of many movements. When no registrations are prescribed, the organist draws a closely related group of stops to imitate the desired tone-color as closely as possible.

James Johnson, the organist, is noted as the Director of the Thursday Noon Recital Series, Music Director of the First Church in Cambridge, Congregational, and Director of the Cambridge Concert Series in First Church. The Flentrop Organ used in the recital has 33 ranks and was built in 1958.

The next recital in the series is scheduled for May 1, 1975, at Quadrivium Collegium, Marleen, directed by Montgomery.

The image is a page from a program booklet for a Thursday Noon Recital Series at the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard University, scheduled for April 24, 1975.

The recital was performed by James Johnson, who was the organist for the event. The program featured music from the French Baroque era, performed without interruption.

The compositions listed include:

  1. Les Cloches by Nicolas Le Begue (1630-1702)

    • Suite du Second Ton
  2. Several pieces by Antoine Guilain (d. 1722):

    • Prelude
    • Tierce en taille
    • Duo
    • Basse de Trompette
    • Trio de Flutes
    • Dialogue
  3. Petit Plein jeu by Louis Marchand (1669-1733)

  4. Chromhorne sur la Taille and Offertoire sur les Grands jeux by François Couperin la Grand (1665-1733)

The page contains a note explaining that French organ music from the 17th and 18th centuries was composed for specific registrations, which refer to the groupings of stops (types of organ pipes) that mimic certain tone-colors. The Flentrop Organ, which was being used, lacks a specific Trompette and requires the organist to select a combination of stops to achieve the desired tone-color as closely as possible.

James Johnson is noted as the Director of the Thursday Noon Recital Series, Music Director of First Church in Cambridge, Congregational, and Director of the Cambridge Concert Series in First Church.

The next recital is scheduled for May 1, 1975, at Quadrivium Collegium, conducted by Marleen, with the Flentrop Organ ranking 33 out of 1958.
