Composition Competitions

The Pep Organ Youtube channel logo (July, 2023).

Beginning in 2022, Titus Grenyer has organized an annual organ composition competition.

2022[9]

The following reasoning was given for the inaugural composition competition:

For too long, the world has been captured by post-modern composers, institutions, academies. But today, we're going to have a solution for that.
-Pep Organ Composition Competition 2022!!, accessed 26 July, 2023.

The requested type of composition in 2022 was one that was suitable for a church setting and intermediate in skill-level, on a maximum of two manuals with pedal.

The results were as follows[10]:

Results of the 2022 Pep Organ composition competition
Place Composer Title
Highly Commended Paul Fey Trumpet Tune in G Major
2nd Prize Graham Twist Caprice
1st Prize Colin Ashworth Peppy Postlude

2023

The requested type of composition in 2023 was a piece in the Classical style (Grenyer gives c.1740-1790) that is suitable for liturgical and concert use with a maximum of two manuals and "should include a pedal part, even if its use is minimal"[11].

The results of the 2023 competition are[12]

Results of the 2023 Pep Organ composition competition
Place Composer Title
Highly Commended Phil Lehenbauer Courtly March in C
3rd Prize Luigi Mengoni Tuba Tune on Lourdes Hymn
2nd Prize Toby J Huitson Voluntary in G
1st Prize

No first prize was awarded in the 2023 composition competition. The reasons cited included the low quality of submitted compositions, both in terms of musicality and adherence to the Classical style, and lack of percieved influence to the organ repertoire.

Commentary

In addition to musical content, Grenyer also makes commentary videos (titled Reveries[13]) on a variety of organ and music-related topics.
