A bold, regal work for both church services and recitals, 'A Jubilant March' is an intermediate level work that pays homage to one of the great 20th century organ composers, Leo Sowerby. The piece utilises exciting flourishes, rich harmonies and bold chords to create a work of great beauty and grandeur.

The choralepreludes in this volume combine traditional classical form with stilistic elementsof Celtic folk music such as dance rhythms, syncopation, and ornamental figuresthat give them a certain lightness.

Almost allchorals, almost all of which are ecumenical, were composed for practical use. Therefore,they are mostly kept quite short (about 1 min.) and quote the chorale melodycompletely as cantus firmus in the approximate singing tempo. Some preludes have a quasi baroque design, but most also have a certain Celtic flavor. Indications aboutstops have been omitted, the indications SW (Swell) and HW(Great) just indicatewhere the c. f. is to be emphasized. The preludes arefollowed by accompanying movements. Listen to the youtube video which lets you hear all movements: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqlqjKo3xGg&t=506s

The prelude is written in a quasi baroque style with the choral melody phrases in the pedal, the intonation is to prepare the choral to be sung and the postlude in a more modern toccata style is for the end of a service.
