The Ten Choral Preludes for Organ are intended for both liturgical purposes and concert performance. For this reason the notation is written in two staves which is not usual for the Organ. The former of the two purposes forced the composer to respect certain limitations of technical complexity so that even an untrained organist could perform the pieces. The themes to each overture are taken from Bohemian Brethren chorales which appear in their original form as brief ?intonations? in the first few bars preceding each overture. The piece was composed in 1971.Contents:O svetlo Trojice svatá / Es geht daher des Tages Schein / Oh Light the HolyTrinity.Ej nuz lacn z zniv / Wohlauf die ihr hungrig seid / Ye Who Are Hungry and Trinity.D ky vzdávám / Ich Dank dir schon durch deinen Sohn / I giv Thank.In Natali Domino.Jiz zasla slunce záre / Hinunter ist der Sonne Schein / The Sunshine Has Departed.Umucen N.

4 Interludes-The music of small forms was what the French composer Gabriel Fauré (1845 1924) focused on. In 1874 after many years spent in the 'provinces' the teacher of Camille Saint-Saëns took the position of organist in Paris; later he not only worked as a church musician but also as a teacher.In the summer of 1887 Fauré wrote his Pavane Op. 50 originally intended for a concert providing light entertainment which soon gained wide popularity as an orchestral setting with and without the chorus added by Fauré. The romantic slightly melancholic melody is a catchy tune which thanks to the present arrangement can now also be performed soloistically with piano accompaniment.
