Songs of Praise for Organ by television music composer Herbert Chappell was commissioned by the BBC in 1980 as the signature theme for the long running television programme of the same name and continued to be used until the late 1980s. This piece is lively toccata underpinned by a hymn-like melody and is suitable for organists of moderate abilities and may be used as a thrilling recital piece. 'I decided it should be a lively toccata; this I underpinned with a broad-shouldered hymn-like melody rather than a choral. It was recorded for television by Simon Preston at the organ of Christ Church Oxford and quickly became somethingif a favourite with organists all around the world (possibly because it sounds impressively virtuostic and makes a lot of noise but is not that difficult to play). For example it brought a spirited conclusion to the service that celebrated with a pack congregation the life of Dame Thora Hird for so many years the presenter of the programme on BBC television.'

tune Preludes Series 2 Org. With Or Without Pedals-In presenting this second set of Hymn Tune Preludes the composer has followed the principles adopted in previous volumes in that the pieces based on well known tunes are intended to help fill the need for simple and appropriate music to be played before the service. As before they have been kept well within the range of the average performer and can be played with or without pedals and if necessary on one manual. Keys have been chosen to balance with the corresponding tunes as given in 'Hymns Ancient and Modern' 'The English Hynmnal' 'Songs of Praise' 'The Church Hymnary' and 'The Methodist Hymn Book'. Registration is suggested inoutline only the details being left to the player's discretion.

In the Variations on Old Psalm-Tunes for Organ Dyson fully explores the composer’s chosen sources: ‘O God my strength and fortitude’ from Ravencroft’s Psalter (1621) ‘O for a heart to praise’ from Este’s Whole Book of Psalms (1592) ‘O God of Truth’ from the Scottish Psalter (1635) and Orlando Gibbons’s Song 22 ‘Love of the Father’. These works are popular for service voluntaries.Twentieth century composer and educator George Dyson was a writer of ambitious and critically well-received works that due to their unfashionably accessible late Romantic style were allowed to languish and are now in the process of reassessment and renewed performance. However Dyson’s worksfor unison Voice and church music in particular his two settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis have remained active in the Anglican repertoire.
