Four Voluntaries For Organ by Robert Groves. Following the practice adopted in several of Groves' books of Hymn Tune Preludes each of these pieces has been designed so that it can be played on a small two-manual Organ with pedals or quite easily on a manual only with or without pedals. Registration of a simple nature has been given and this may of course be varied at the player's wish.

A Treasury of European Service Music for Organ is a generous collection of music by many of the fine organist-composers who flourished in the 18th 19th and early 20th centuries.The style is romantic and ideallysuited for Service use: the pieces are just the right length sight-readable and delightful to the ear.Richard Lloyd has edited them expertly for playing on modern instruments.Contents:Adagio by FrançoisVerhelstAdoro te by Pierre-François BoëlyAndante by Arthur de HovreAndantino by Louis AndlauerAntiphon by Georges Debat-PonsanAria by Albert H.

Description The eight sonatas of Guilmant may well lay claim to classical rank. Originally conceived for the French organs of Cavaille-Col, they are sufficiently broad in conception as to lose little, if anything, in their interpretation on English and American instruments. At the time of their composition (1874-1909) they brought to the organ a new sense which had been too little cultivated by organists. Edited by A. Eaglefield Hull. Songlist Fifth Sonata In C Minor, Op.80 Fourth Sonata In D Minor, Op.61 Second Sonata In D Major, Op.50 Symphony In D Minor, Op.42 Third Sonata In C Minor, Op.56

Volume 4: Christian Life and Conduct-The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach’s unfinished manuscript known as ‘Orgelbüchlein’. In the ‘Little Organ Book’ Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale 164 in all but only completed 46 of them.Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages with only a title at the head remains a mystery but they inspired organist William Whitehead to found the Orgelbüchlein Project in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection.The resulting collection to be published in eight volumes represents across-section of the most interesting composers at work today across Europe. More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.com.

Vincent Lübeck\'s few organ works were transmitted only in copies that were written chiefly in letter tablature, and that stem mostly from Lübeck\'s circle of students, thus from the collections of Hamburg\'s Nicolaikirche. / Classique / Urtext edited by Harald Vogel / Partition /

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.

für die Silbermann-Orgel in der St. Georgenkirche Rötha-The composition ?Silberklänge? was commissioned for the 2020 International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig. The composer noted: ?During my first visit to the Georgenkirche in Rötha I was impressed by the immensely vibrant and noble sounds of the historic Silbermann organ (1721) the endless variety of possible timbre combinations the stellar acoustics of the church and the historic atmosphere which shaped and tamed my musical thoughts transporting me into my very own ?baroque? world.? This edition contains registration marks that reflect the soundscape the composer intended to achieve with this particular organ. Performing the work on an organ with differentregistration possibilities will open up a new spectrum of possible timbres.

30 pieces for small Organ Op.18 No.1 and Organ Sonata Op.18 No.2. Hugo Distler studied Organ with Günther Ramin and composition with Hermann Grabner in Leipzig. He then worked as cantor and organist at St. Jacobi in Lübeck and taught composition and organ at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule from 1937 onwards. In 1940 he took up the same position at the Berlin Musikhochschule and also became director of the Berlin Cathedral Choir in 1941. Considerably influenced by the Lübeck Stellwagen Organ at St. Jacobi he championed the characteristic pre-Baroque and Baroque sound of the Organ and the forms which best suited it. His stylisticpreference was for a specifically neo-Baroque functional-objective type of sound. This 3-volume critical edition with previously unpublished works includes the forewords of the first editions facsimiles a critical commentary for each volume as well as a list of sources. - First Urtext edition of Hugo Distler’s Organ works. - Includes previously unpublished works. - Reflects the latest state of research. - Detailed foreword critical commentary (Ger/Eng) facsimiles and tips on performance practice.

Glazunov’s compositions are often noted for their distinctive emotionality and underlying heroic mood. This also applies to the known organ works of this Russian master all of which bear the characteristic traits of the Russian symphonic style: epic breadth and monumentality as well as a close proximity to folk music all combined with supreme contrapuntal skill.This Urtext edition contains not only the well-known Prelude and Fugue in D major Op.93 (1906) Prelude and Fugue in D minor Op.98 (1914) and Fantasy Op.110 (1935) but also the Prelude and Fugue in D minor Op.62 (1899) an expressive piano piece presented here in a revised transcription for symphonicorgan by B. L. Sabaneyev (1909).- New Urtext edition of the complete organ works plus a historic transcription- Detailed Foreword (Russ/Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Eng)

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

Orgel Büchlein-Volume 1 of Bach?s organ music presents some of the most frequently played organ pieces altogether. Here they appear in a new engraving based on the New Bach Edition (NBA).This updated edition takes into account the latest findings of Bach scholarship: thus for example a newly-discovered copy of the first edition containing inscriptions in Bach?s own hand could be incorporated into the musical text of the Schübler Chorales.For the Orgel-Büchlein Bach?s autograph manuscript remains the principal source. Yet a glance at its early dissemination among his pupils reveals an abundance of readings that give interested organists insights into how perhaps Bach?smost famous collection was played at that time.Unfortunately no autograph manuscripts survive regarding the early chorale partitas. However the Foreword helps to solve the ?riddle? of how these partitas were handed down.Links to major sources have been provided in collaboration with the Bach Archive Leipzig and its Bach digital database.

Henry Purcell's 'Voluntary For Double Organ' has two stops. The opening is very intricate in a rhythmical sense as it mixes scotch snaps with dotted rhythms followed up with some very free and ornate music.
