This anthology is an engrossing introduction to the organ composer Theophil Forchhammer and, with its 35 works, provides an ideal cross-section of his oeuvre. There are 18 free pieces in which Forchhammer, a contemporary of Reger, manifests his Romantic spirit; and 17 chorale settings which this new edition presents in commonly encountered keys and which do not coincide with Forchhammer's 11 chorale settings contained in hier preisen auf der Erd (EB 8628/29). A rarity - and first edition! - is the Orgelweihe (Organ Consecration) in which Forchhammer incorporates no fewer than 13 melodies from Advent to Pentecost.

Philip Sparke selected two well-known marches from the region around Southern Belgium and Luxembourg as the basis for his March Celebration: after we hear an original march theme and second theme in the bass, extracts from the Hammelsmarsh (Hammelmarsch) and the spirited Marsch der Ardennen-Jager, which has become a kind of unofficial national anthem in these parts. This festive march is rounded off with another appearance of Philip Sparke's original theme.

In March Celebration verwerkte de componist twee marsen uit het Zuiden van Belgie en Luxemburg. Na het eerste, originele marsthema en een tweede ‚bas'-thema, volgen fragmenten uit de Hammerlsmarsch en de meeslepende Mars van de Ardense Jagers, een mars die bijna kan beschouwd worden als een soort nationaal volkslied. Deze feestelijke mars van Philip Sparke eindigt met het beginthema.

Zwei berühmte Marsche aus dem südbelgischen und luxemburgischen Raum wurden in March Celebration verarbeitet: Nach dem ersten, originalen Marschthema und einem zweiten Bass-Thema folgen nacheinander Auszüge aus dem Hammelsmarsch (Hammelmarsch) und dem mitreissenden Marsch der Ardennen-Jager, der dort schon fast eine Art zweite Nationalhymne ist. Mit der Wiederaufnahme seines originalen Themas rundet Philip Sparke diesen festlichen Marsch ab.

March Celebration reunit deux celebres marches du Luxembourg et du sud de la Belgique, combinees a un theme original signe Philip Sparke. Apres l'exposition du theme original suivi d'une ligne melodique jouee par les basses, on percoit des fragments de la Hammelsmarsch (Marche des moutons). Cet air populaire fait partie integrante de toutes les fetes de village du sud de la Belgique et du Luxembourg. Puis vient l'exaltante Marche du Regiment des Chasseurs ardennais, devenue une sorte d'hymne pour toute la region. L'oeuvre se conclut sur la reprise brillante du theme original.

Philip Sparke arrangia due celebri marce provenienti rispettivamente della parte meridionale del Belgio e dal Lussemburgo. L'apertura vede l'esposizione di un tema originale che anticipa una linea melodica eseguita dai bassi. Seguono gli estratti della Hammelsmarch e della coinvolgente Marsch der Ardennen-Jaeger, divenuta una sorta di inno per l'intera regione. Philip Sparke conclude il brano con la riesposizione del tema originale.
