Marcel Lanquetuit (1894-1985) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before becoming the organist at the church of Saint-Godard in Rouen. As well as being a prominent organist of his time, Lanquetuit was a renowned composer, but chose to improvise rather than write. A few of his notated compositions remain, however, including the grand and mighty Toccata in D Major, published in 1927. Toccata in D Major is typical of the French style and is dedicated to Lanquetuit's first teacher, Albert Dupre. The incessant, staccato chords and memorable melody create a toccata for organ like no other, making for an essential addition to the advanced organist's repertoire.

Hermann Schroeder (1904-1984) ranks among the major German organ composers of the 20th century, being an excellent organist himself. Many of his more than 100 organ works deal with themes of the Gregorian chorale. The chorale's modal diatonicism which is freer and different than the later major-minor tonality establishes a perfect symbiosis with the free tonality of the contemporary composer. In the five-movement chorale partita, the more than 1,000 years old Mixolydian Whitsun Sequence of Hrabanus Maurus (9th century) is used in an imaginative and formally varied way: as a virtuoso toccata, in the second movement 'ostinato' as a strict trio setting over a seven-bar ostinato in the pedal, as a capriciously playful 'bicinium', and as a meditative, harmonically appealing 'arioso'. The fifth movement (fantasia ricercare) displays brilliant full-handed chords and virtuoso passages as well as a fugato in the middle section. A rewarding concert piece for Whitsun, with an excellent possibility of virtuoso interpretation and colourful registration.

In a number of works for musical theatre * The Rat-catcher (The Pied Piper) based on a libretto by Michael Ende, the opera Eduard auf dem Seil (Edward on the Tightrope) on a story by Morike and Der Schimmelreiter (The Ghost Rider) based on the well-known novella by Theodor Storm * Wilfried Hiller has used the organ to illustrate exceptional dramatic scenarios. The addition of further works has now resulted in a collection of Toccatas, some of them playful, some meditative, which may be performed individually or as a cycle, either in concert or for tuition purposes.

Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki's career spans more than 40 years, dating from the post-Stalinist era of the mid 1950s and embracing a catalogue of more than 70 acknowledged works. It was not, however, until the phenomenal success of his third symphony, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs Op 36, which brought the composer world-wide renown through its numerous performances and recordings, that his music reached an extended audience outside his native Poland. Since then the directness and emotional impact of his music have established him as one of the major figures of contemporary music.

In addition to his world-famous film scores ('Godfather', 'La dolce vita'), Nino Rota also composed chamber and vocal music, with choral music playing a prominent role. The three choral pieces selected for this edition show Rota's characteristic melody and romantic harmony. Thanks to the low level of difficulty, even amateur choirs are able to sing the impressive pieces of the Italian master.

Ulrich Rasches erste Orgelsonate entstand im Mai und Juni des Jahres 2011. Es ist ein Zufall, dass die acht Buchstaben des Namens ,,Schadach vollstandig in Noten umsetzbar sind. Diese Tonfolge beherrscht alle drei Satze der Sonate: Das Prelude, als erster Satz, ist formal in Sonatenhauptsatzform gestaltet. Das Achttonmotiv leitet den Satz quasi leitmotivisch ein. Ein toccatenhafter Ubergang fuhrt zum zweiten Thema, das als Ruhepol bitonal daherkommt. Immer wieder wird die Toccata-Uberleitung eingeschoben und entwickelt sich beinahe zu einem dritten Thema, das den Satz virtuos abschliesst. Die Canzone ist ein ruhiger und entspannter Satz, der als Achttonmotiv in Form von funf Variationen verandert wird. Dem Satz wohnt eine durchaus schmerzliche Gefuhlswelt (doloroso) inne, wird dann jedoch lyrischer und endet in spharischer Verklarung. Dieser Satz erfahrt vielfaltige Stimmungen, die vom Organisten sehr farbenreich registriert werden sollten. Die abschliessende Toccata ist hochvirtuos und von feurigem Charakter. Ein sehr leidenschaftlicher Mittelteil gipfelt in einen hochdramatischen Exkurs. Es folgt erneut der erste Teil, der in eine Stretta-Coda mundet, und den Satz fulminant beschliesst.

As a counterpart to theOrgan Symphony No. 1 Pater Noster (ED 9937), the Organ Symphony No. 2 offers softer and more mysterious (Marian) sound worlds, sketching stages of Mary's life: an adoring Salve Regina grows from the mystic source, followed by Berceuse pour Marie as a lullaby of the Christmas events. The third movement Mater Dolorosa falls back on the well-known Gregorian sequence Stabat Mater, taking Mary's pain at the cross as its central theme. The finale treats the Ave Maris Stella in a crescendo from pp to ff in a positive and solemn manner, in memory of Mary's assumption. It is advisable to use an organ with at least three manuals.

Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live is one of the central biblical texts dealing with the transitoriness of human existence. Leopold Hofmann, Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna from 1772 to 1793, where W. A. Mozart was his church music assistant, also set this strongly expressive text. Hofmann's setting, in C minor, offers an austere harmony, characterized by suspensions in a homophonic, through-composed four-part vocal setting (soloists or SATB choir), reinforced only by two trombones and organ continuo. Four concise instrumental transitional passages between the individual verses relieve the pathos laden Viennese church style of this composition. With its tragic air, in some passages it closely resembles Mozart's Requiem K. 626. For this first edition, the two trombone parts are available both in the original clef and in alto clef. The figured bass has been realized so that the piece can also be performed without trombones, with only organ accompaniment. For a performance this piece could easily be combined with the Salve Regina by Pietro Cassati (Carus 27.703) from the Vienna series. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2770500.

The American musical patrons Mildred and Robert Wood Bliss were considering which distinguished composer to commission to create a work in celebration of their 30th wedding anniversary in 1938. The couple had made the acquaintance of Igor Stravinsky in April the preceding year at the premiere of his ballet Jeu de Cartes in New York and had subsequently invited the composer to their country home 'Dumbarton Oaks' in Washington D.C. to talk about a new composition. Stravinsky only just managed to complete the work in time for the anniversary celebrations: its date of completion was also the date of its first performance. For his classically styled three-movement work, he selected the title Concerto in E flat, adding the subtitle Dumbarton Oaks as a dedication. The structure of the work references the concerto grosso: it features a soloist ensemble which unites in the tutti sequences but also plays in concertino groups during the solo episodes. Broken chordal structures characterise the central movement whereas the outer movements are distinguished through their use of fugato. Dumbarton Oaks went on to become one of Stravinskys mostsuccessful works, performed widely and delighting Mildred Bliss so much that she immediately issued another commission, for the Symphony in C. Its composer's very public commitment to American cultural life helped pave the way for Stravinskys emigration to the USA in 1945. As early as 1952 Leif Thybo created an arrangement for organ which Stravinsky probably did not know at the time of his life.
