Kleine orgelmesse-Haydn presumably wrote his ?Missa brevis? in 1775 for the Brothers Hospitallers of Eisenstadt Abbey.

Top favorites from the CCLI surveys these seven titles are the most popular of all praise and worship songs. Fred Bock has taken these melodies and made entirely new compositions for organ out of them. These are not typical hymnor gospel song settings at all: every one is a through-composed piece of music based on a praise and worship tune. Selections include: He Is Exalted • In My Life Lord Be Glorified • We Will Glorify • and more.

?Mors et vita? death and life. This antithesis opens a stanza of the ancient 11th-century Easter sequence Victimae paschali laudes where life and death are locked in mutual struggle. Zsigmond Szathmáry?s 12-minute composition of 2015 commissioned for the Freiburg Minster interprets this primal human experience with mighty explosions of sound. Here the organ can show what it?s capable of: its grandeur and strength are fully exploited but not at the expense of soft and gentle contrasts. Typical of Szathmáry?s compositional style is the alternation of seemingly improvised recitative-like writing and passages in strict rhythm. Time and again the composer takes upelements from the church hymn Christ ist erstanden von der Marter alle (Christ the Lord is risen again).

Variazioni Per Organo is a work by Aulis Sallinen for Solo Organ commissioned by the Crusell Music Festival where the premiere took place. The piece lasts around 9 minutes.Nicholas Johnson in the September 2016 issue of Organists Review comments that he 'was very taken by the way that Sallinen combines his ideas' and that the composer is 'certainly an original compositional voice.'

Bach: Complete Organ Works Vol. 7 Orgelbüchlein - with CD-ROM - ed. by Sven Hiemke Of great practical value ?This edition has everything it takes to replace the Griepenkerl edition for practical music-making,? opined Rainer Goede (in ?kirchmusik.de?) immediately after the release of Volumes 5 and 6. If such a high degree of practical value is attested to these two volumes, then Volume 7 can proudly claim to have the highest practical value of all, since it has the greatest scope of all the volumes. After all, no organist can do without the basic repertoire of the 45 chorale preludes. Edited by Sven Hiemke, the book offers the best possible prerequisites for everyday use. The musical text is as faithful to the sources as possible, and it preserves Bach?s graphic idiosyncrasies in the beaming of eighth notes and sixteenth notes. Furthermore, the chorales are reproduced on three staves, which is fully in keeping with the practice of the Bach era ? but not with the source, however, since the composer himself notated the pieces of the ?Orgelbüchlein? on two staves, either for reasons of economy or for lack of space. The enclosed CD-ROM contains early versions and anonymous arrangements which should encourage organists to explore this repertoire in greater depth.

John Rutter's Prelude - Te Lucis Ante Terminum for Organ. Duration: 1 1/2 minutes. This short (44 bars) contemplation is dedicated to the memory of Hilary Cornall and takes the form of a gently­ flowing Andante tranquillo with freq­uently-changing time-signatures but with a constant quaver pulse = 126. This gives the work a haunting quality as if ­in visual terms - quietly observing the passage of cloud across a balmy sum­mer sky. Tonally the music gradually descends from an implied A minor to G - the mode subtly indeterminate but undoubtedly final as the approach of evening. As with so much music by this composer the effect is simple but very touching the constantly flowing open fifths in the right hand adding the principal expression of movement. A most effective miniature. Although dated 2010 on the cover and title page the composer himself gives 2009 at the end of the final bar.' - James Palmer

New source material used for the first time. This edition features a detailed comprehensive foreword (Fr/Ger/Eng) on the work’s genesis and notes on performance practice.Full Critical Commentary (Fr/Eng/Ger)Many illustrations and facsimile pages.Symphony No.5 the largest of Vierne’s six Organ symphonies was full of misprints in its first edition.

Unlike previous editions Helga Schauerte-Maubouet has also drawn on a fragmentary handwritten errata list as a secondary source allowing her to verify Vierne’s late alterations to details in theautograph.Her foreword also sheds light on the biographical background and explains the work’s genesis in great detail. Using previously unpublished letters she has been able for the first time to provide exact dates for each movement.

We've taken the previous Rawsthorne collections (Five Lollipops and Encore) and rebranded them into these two sizzling books. You know the form - arrangements so good that you could swear that they were originalorgan pieces. Wonderful for programme finishes and encores.

Two delightful Delius pieces arranged by Dom Gregory Murray. The Walk To The Paradise Garden is an arrangement of the Intermezzo from Delius' opera A Village Romeo And Juliet and A Song Before Sunrise istaken from a piece originally written for a small orchestra.

Par SENFTER JOHANNA. Johanna Senfter (1879–1961) is one of the most interesting composers of the late Romantic period. She studied piano and composition at the Frankfurt Conservatoire 1895–1903 and thereafter in Leipzig with Max Reger 1908/9. Her most significant legacy is her organ music, which takes up the contrapuntal, highly chromatic composition techniques used by her teacher. These ten chorale preludes Op. 73 were written in 1930 and are suitable for concert or liturgical performance./ Répertoire / Orgue

One Hundred Special Arrangements-In Hymns For Occasions Colin Mawby has taken 100 of the most widely used hymn tunes and worked his magic on them. These are not just last-verse treatments but complete mini re-compositions for each tune. There is anintroduction (the sort that always sounds impressive but which contains enough of the hymn tune to act as an encouragement to the congregation) the standard harmonisation a short interlude before the last verse and a last-versearrangement of great beauty and originality followed by a fitting few bars of conclusion. Colin Mawby's approach to this well-loved music is unique: he brings new life to the hymn tradition in a style and quantity that noother composer has yet attempted.

This collection will make you stand up and salute. Carolyn Hamlin has taken three powerful hymns of faith Eternal Father Strong to Save God of Our Fathers and My Country 'Tis of Thee and strengthened their impact on celebrating our country. Appropriate for any patriotic concert or worship service. Medium difficulty.

d'après The Turn of the Screw d'Henry James. Par GUILLOU JEAN. Though the work bearing this title is a portrait of childhood, it is a childhood quite different from the purely gameplaying and dreamlike childhood that is customarily represented. The childhood described here is carrying the seed, in all its purity, of all positive and negative qualities to be found the fully-grown men: a childhood both angelic and diabolical, and indeed very close to Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw' which was the direct inspiration for this monodrama. Its growth follows the innumerable sudden changes, turns and contrasts of the unsophisticated spirit. There is hardly any development at all, as each idea gives birth to the next or rejects the previons one, being object to every impulse, every tempest, every flux, every fear and delight. After a dreamlike introduction, in which two simple melodies stand out, comes a sudden awakening, Allegro, stamped all over with lavish and forever regenerating dynamism. A sudden halt leads a kind of outburst from the most simple folklore is singing, in regular, repeated notes. Again the question mark leads us to another melody, Tranquillo, of a sweet tempo, but brilliantly decorated with counter-point, its cursive traits leading this time to a kind of roguish march (Vigoroso). Yet soon there emerges a melancholic chant, Largo, in the Cromorne's timbre, and then, in the highest register of the Trumpet there reappears like a metamorphosed memory, the theme of the second movement. Passing other episodes, we come to Tempo giusto, insistent and glorious, interrupted by other passionate figures, cut off by unsettling silent moments and taken up again in always accelerating volleys./ Répertoire / Orgue

These pieces celebrate different aspects of a child’s Christmas as seen from an adult perspective and takes influence from the text ‘A Box of Delights’ by John Masefield, with its magical and pagan overtones. In the music there are quotations from other Bingham pieces, and from Christmas carols.
