David Bednall's Fanfare-Processional for Organ. Composed 2010. 'A work that reflects a constant revivific­ation of tradition - most notably in the expected treatment of D major tonality (not fully resolved at the end) - this brilliantly effective piece successfully combines the essence of a church procession with elation: the tempo is relatively (but only relatively) slow the musical expression being of a positive character making a modem recessional as if preparing to leave the church before breathing in fresh open air in the concluding section. Bednall's work is extremely well written technically; it would make an exciting effecton any uplifting occasion.' - James Palmer

Introduction and Passacaglia In A Minor is written for solo Organ. It  is dedicated to David Willcocks who at the time of composition was organist at Worcester Cathedral. Craig Seller Lang (1891-1971) was a British composer organist and musical pedagogue who was born in New Zealand. He studied at the Royal College of Music before becoming a teacher at Christ’s Hospital School. His compositions were mostly written with a student performer in mind. He is best remembered for his seminal educational Organ books but he also created prolific volumes of material in both sacred and secular choral genres.

Thomas Hewitt Jones' Carnival. Composed 2010. Written for Martin Neary President of the Organists Charitable Trust. These five short works are all extracted from the excellent Little Organ Book from the Organists Charitable Trust edited by Martin Neary and first published by Novello in 2010. This is a wonderful resource of 11 mainly new works by British composers all of moderate difficulty and well-defined character. Iain Farrington’s Bluesday is full of delicious harmonies with a bold climax framed by a gentle beginning and ending. David Bednall’s Fanfare is a joyful work that would bea good recital opener or festival voluntary with a chance to unleash the big reeds. The simplicity of the title of Howells’s Cradle Song belies a richness and warmth that make this a moving miniature. John Rutter’s evening prelude from 1979 on the plainsong hymn Te lucis ante terminum is tender and clear with some surprisingly plangent harmonies. Thomas Hewitt Jones’s Carnival is an outburst of festivity and bravura. All these pieces are very much worth playing though organists interested in more than two of them would be better served purchasing a copy of the original anthology which is still very well priced (Little Organ Book Novello 9781849386814 £9.95). - Sunday by Sunday
