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

Marianne Kim's signature jazz-tinged style pervades this new collection of hymn settings. Nearly all the hymn tunes are American in origin, including folk hymns, spirituals, and 19th century gospel songs. Varied characters provide music useful for preludes, offertories, or postludes throughout the church year.
