Louis Vierne (1870-1937) studied privately with Cesar Franck and was appointed titulaire organist at Notre-Dame (Paris) in 1900. Numerous concert tours throughout Europe and the USA made him well-known outside France.Vierne?s Organ works are masterpieces of Organ music and are firm favourites in the virtuoso Organ repertoire. In particular Vierne raised the form of the Organ symphony to a stylistic peak.The famous collection of ?Pieces de Fantaisie? comprising 24 fantasy pieces in four volumes (Livres I-IV) has become internationally known. With their varying degrees of difficulty the pieces are suitable for bothprofessional organists as well as advanced pupils and students.The collection comprises mainly individual movements which are suitable for use on many different types of occasion.The ?Pieces en style libre pour orgue ou harmonium? comprising 24 pieces in two volumes are shorter and technically easier.

The “Little Organ Book” perhaps the most celebrated collection ever of chorale preludes owes its title to J.S. Bach’s application for the post of Cantor at St Thomas’ Church in Leipzig. Lacking an academic degree Bach wanted to demonstrate his qualifications as a teacher through his compositions – including his Inventions Sinfonias and the “Well Tempered Klavier”. This also led him to append a misleading title to the most ambitious project of his time at Weimar: he called this collection of chorale preludes - originally meant to number 164 pieces - pieces for an “aspiring organist”. In fact the44 completed compositions of the “Little Organ Book” are demanding masterpieces which give an impressive display of the full range of the so-called short chorale prelude. This new critical edition returns for the first time to the format of the principal sources dating from Bach’s time in that most of the pieces are reproduced on two systems rather than three.

Now here's a new idea: instead of asking our composers to work their improvisatory magic on hymn tunes we allocated the main theme of some of the world's favourite classical melodies. The result is a really pleasing new genrewhich we think will find favour with organists. All the pieces are written for those with a moderate technique and there are two versions - with or without pedals.
