The beautiful, Spiritual-like theme from the 2nd movement of Dvorak's 9th Symphony (aka "New World"). This setting for organ is based on the Largo melody, with some modifications to the original harmonies. Appropriate for intermediate players, and ideal for church, recital and concert.

Matthias Weckmann, born in Niederdorla near Muhlhausen (Thuringia) in 1616 and died in Hamburg in 1674, was trained as a musician by Heinrich Schutz in Dresden among others. He worked as an organist in Dresden (Schlosskirche) and Hamburg (St. Jakobi). It is particularly for the Jakobi organ that he wrote his elaborate and virtuoso organ works. Our new edition in the renowned series 'Masters of the North German Organ School' faithfully transfers the works which survived in letter tablature, providing a reliably edited urtext. Volume 1 contains the cantus firmus-based works, 8 authentic verse cycles with 2-7 movements each in which chorale melodies such as 'Es ist das Heil uns kommen her', 'Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ)' or the 'Magnificat' are varied, as well as a cycle on 'Ach wir armen Sunder' attributed to Weckmann. Volume 2 proves him to a master of concertante organ music, containing 3 works with pedal (Fantasia, Fuga and Praeambulum in D) as well as several moderately difficult works to be played on manuals only (6 toccatas, 5 canzonas). Reliable standard edition of the music by one of the great (North) German organ masters.

This is a meditative arrangement for organ of four Asian hymns from the New Century Hymnal: #72 TOKYO, #33 TŌA-SĪA, #333 SHENG EN, and #470 LE P'ING. The arrangement is perfect as a prelude or quiet meditation selection.
