I hope you enjoy these seasonal favorites!

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

For more than thirty years, George Emlen was music director of the legendary \"Christmas Revels,\" a musical and theatrical presentation that explores Christmas music and perspectives from a different world culture each year. Drawing on his deep knowledge and love of the repertoire, Emlen arranged carols from ten different countries as organ solos. This unique Christmas collection is sure to provide something fresh for your seasonal repertoire. The arrangements stand alone as voluntaries or can be combined into varied groupings as concert suites.
