August Schollaert
BE
Arranger of Pop
August Schollaert from Aalst - Belgium (°1893 - +1958). The most esteemed and prolific arranger for Hooghuys organs was undoubtedly August Schollaert from Aalst (1893-1958). Schollaert started with arranging for Mortier organs, but it didn't take look before – with the help and support of Edmond Hooghuys – he also marked music for Hooghuys organs. His most popular arrangements are those for the 70-key fair organs (esp. the one of Becquart): the English periodical "Gramophone" even wrote that his arrangement of the overture to "Die schöne Galathee" (F.von Suppé) was to be taken as "an example by orchestras"! It might be interesting to know that Schollaert never marked his music on pattern paper but always directly on cardboard. The number of books he made, is uncountable (fortunately, his wife Aline and son Herman assisted him in cutting the books). Of course, not all of his arrangements are outstanding, but most of his books are among the best ever made.
