Herbert Howells' Cradle Song for Organ. Composed in 1913. Duration: 1 minute 30 seconds. 'Almost a century before Rutter's piece was composed this equally brief - and not wholly dissimilar - work appeared. Marked Molto semplice in 3/8 time Howells's piece has fluently original harmonic interest and concentrates its simple initial idea with attractively­flowing momentum. This is a perfect piece for a Christening service and would also make an impressive intermezzo­like item in a recital of English organ music.' - The Organ

These 30 pieces were written by Herbert Howells as exercises and piano sight-reading tests. They are however much more than visual traps for the unwary. They are at times graceful surprising and touching and they are allinventive miniatures which represent a collection characteristic of the composer.Like the occasional pieces written for examination purposes by Ravel and Debussy these studies have a unique value. Adaptedslightly by Alan Ridout to make useful manuals-only pieces for organ this compilation is a must have for developing organ players or those experienced players who are looking for something a little different.

Master Tallis's Testament No.3 from Six Pieces for Organ. Composed in 1940 Master Tallis's Testament unfolds Quasi lento teneramente in a gentle six-eight rhythm and in G minor. It consists of three variants of a theme which falls into three phrases (eight plus six plus four bars). The music rises gradually to a climax at the end of the third variant. A quiet echo of the last two bars supplies a coda and a peaceful ending in the major. The piece is one which its composer regards as most typical and with particular affection. Its title which pays tribute to a father of English cathedral music allies it to the twenty-four pieces contained in Howells' two sets of clavichordpieces the twelve of Lambert's Clavichord (the Lambert not being the composer Constant but the Bath photographer Herbert who in the Twenties published a set of portraits of British composers (including Howells) and the twelve of Howells' Clavichord (1951) the separate titles similarly evoke those of the Elizabethan Virginalists. © 1977 Felix Aprahamian

While Darke composed extensively for Choir and Organ he wrote many fewer works for solo Organ. The first of the set St Peter dedicated to Herbert Howells is the best known of the three atmospheric and improvisational and Orchestral in style. The second prelude a fantasia on Darwell’s 148th is a virtuosic piece that retains its musical integrity. The final on a theme by Tallis begins by tranquilly setting out its theme before moving into romantic Orchestral style. Harold E. Darke was an English composer and Organist of international renown. In 1916 he established the Monday lunchtime Organ recitals at St Michael’s Cornhillwhich continue to this day the longest-running such series in the world. His setting of Christina Rosetti’s poem In the Bleak Midwinter created a melody and lilting Organ accompaniment that have never fallen from favour. It is regarded as one of the greatest Christmas carols and is still sung at the service of Nine Lessons and Carols.

This short single-movement work for Organ published in 1931 invokes the healing balm of medicinal herbs through the use of a hymn-like melody over a steady underpinning of accompaniment.

Many of his compositions are miniatures and works appropriate for amateur musicians though he also gained renown through his large-scale works performed at the Promenade Concerts and elsewhere.
