Legend for Abbreviations Used

Jacobus Kloppers’ compositions (around 84, grouped into 55 publications/semi-publications) include works sponsored by Canada Council, CBC, The Royal Canadian College of Organists, the Marjorie Young Bell Fine Arts and Music Fund at Mount Allison University, Sackville NB, the South African Foundation for the Creative Arts, churches and various private sponsors. These comprise organ solo works for liturgical and concert use, an organ concerto, two alto-saxophone concerti, various anthems and choral music, two organ suites for organ duet, “Reflections” for piano solo, “Jack and the Bean Stalk” for organ and narrator, “Celtic Impressions” for organ solo, two Alto-Saxophone and Organ Triptychs, (“Triptych: Carolingian Temperaments” and “Passage du Temps“), a Piano Solo Piece “Réverie e Éveil” for piano solo and a hymn-based Art Song Suite for Tenor and Organ “Celebration of Faith”.  A number of his Organ- and Organ-ensemble works have been orchestrated, mostly with retention of the organ.

His music is published in Canada, United States and South Africa and a number of these appear on 18 Compact Discs (including the German “Querstand” label) and the Polish ‘Dux’ label, or on Youtube. It has enjoyed performances in greater Europe, North- and South America, Hong Kong and South Africa and broadcasts on CBC, SABC, Radio Netherlands, Polish Radio 2 and Minnesota Public Radio (“Pipedreams”, 10 broadcasts).

Reflections”, a major piano solo piece, commissioned by CBC, was included in Polish-American pianist Adam Zukiewicz’ CD “The Beginnings” (Dux Label), released in 2018, followed by release concerts in Poland, Italy, Canada, the USA and London, England.

The “Canticle of the Sun“, for mixed chorus, brass and organ was commissioned by The Friends of the Winspear Centre, Edmonton and performed at the inaugurational gala of the Davis Concert Organ, September 14, 2002.  It enjoyed subsequent performances, including performances in Edinburgh, Scotland (Garleton Singers) and Belfast, Ireland (Belfast Philharmonic Choir and Ulster Orchestra) in 2018.

With a travel grant from Canada Council the composer attended the performance of his “Te Deum” for Mixed Choir, Organ and Timpani in May, 2005 by the Polish Chamber Choir (Polski Chor Kameralny;director Jan Lukaszewski) at the 15th Gaude Mater International Festival of Religious Music in Czestochowa, Poland. The performance was broadcast on Polish Radio Program 2 in August 2005.

At Polish saxophonist Dariusz Samol’s request, the organ-saxophone “Triptych: Carolingian Temperaments” was reworked, expanded and orchestrated in 2005 as a Concerto for Alto-Saxophone and Chamber Orchestra (“Concerto in Quattro Umori”). The first two movements of the concerto premiered at the 4th International Saxophone Festival in Szczecin, Poland on April 8, 2006 with soloist Dariusz Samol and the “Orkiestra Opery na Zamku” under the direction of Jacek Kraszewski, in a program called “Canada Meets Poland” sponsored by the Edmonton Composers Concert Society and the Canadian Embassy. The entire concerto (all 3 movements) received its North American premiere at the Edmonton Composers Concert Society (now called ‘New Music Edmonton’) sponsored concert “New Music Alberta 2008-09”, Convocation Hall, University of Alberta, February 15, 2009) with Charles Stolte (Alto Saxophone) and the Edmonton Chamber Players under the direction of Polish Maestro Jacek Rogala.

Since 2019 he has orchestrated some of his existing organ- and organ ensemble music: Concerto for Alto-Saxophone #2, Passage of Time, based on “Passage du Temps” (2016); Memories of Scotland – Suite for Strings and Woodwinds based on Celtic Folk Songs and Dances, based on earlier Organ Solo Work “Celtic Impressions: (2003); Autumn Reminiscence based on Two Celtic Songs for Piano, Woodwinds and Strings – from earlier work “Last Rose of Summer” for Piano and Organ (2011).; Suite Noel for Organ and Orchestra, a reworking of his former chorale preludes based on Carols; Fairy Tale “Jack and the Bean Stalk” for Narrator, Organ and Orchestra , a reworking of his earlier work for Narrator and Organ

Requested by Duo Majoya, he transcribed his Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani (1986/1991) as “Piece Concertante for Organ, Piano and Timpani”, 2020, which was recorded on You Tube by Duo Majoya for the Vancouver and  Hamilton RCCO Virtual Organ Festivals in 2021.

Apart from the Canadian Music Centre collection of his unpublished music and archival recordings (below), a complete collection (scores and recordings) of Jacobus Kloppers’ compositions is available for loan from the Odeion School of Music Library at the University of the Free State (South Africa).
