A well-known teacher and compiler of Stainer & Bell's Opera Gala series, John Norris has created Wedding Gala with an ear to giving church organists a mix of favourites and exciting discoveries to brighten the routine of music for the service of holy matrimony.

No album would be complete without the traditional wedding music of Mendelssohn and Wagner, and it can be found here in this collection alongside other classics of the wedding repertoire by Jeremiah Clarke, Bach and Handel. But there's also a thoroughly contemporary leavening, with arrangements of Sydney Carter's One More Step and Lord of the Dance, both firm favourites, plus Musorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and Charpentier's Prelude, adding a note of splendour.

But the real bonus is for lovers of English music, with Elgar's Chanson de Matin and 'The Call' from the Five Mystical Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams, seldom found in comparable collections. And there's also a rare new discovery: the ravishing Chosen Tune by Herbert Howells, transcribed from his Three Pieces for violin and piano, Op. 28, and available as an organ piece for the first time.

Each piece is comprehensively registered by the arranger, and the collection as a whole will be welcomed by all organists of intermediate standard as a source of new material not only for liturgical use but also for recitals.

EECM65 and EECM66 revisit the repertoire of the ground-breaking volumes 6 and 10 in the series, Early Tudor Organ Music, in the light of 60 years of continuing research and deeper understanding of the surviving corpus. Some 109 works are brought together here, in the order in which they appear in each manuscript â?? British Library Additional MS 29996 accounting for three-quarters of the content, plus 22 works from other sources. There are settings for the Office (antiphons, hymns, the Te Deum and Magnificat) and Mass ordinary and propers (particularly the Offertory).

The format is of the same dimensions as other EECM volumes, although presented in landscape for more practical use. Containing music exclusively from Add. MS 29996, EECM65 includes updated composer biographies compiled by David Mateer, and introductory notes for the two volumes on cantus firmus techniques and metrical structure, counterpoint and musica ficta, alternatim practice, and an historical account of the early English organ.

In addition to numerous anonymous titles, composers found in these volumes include Avery Burnett, Robert Coxsun, William Kyrton, Thomas Preston, John Redford, Philip ap Rhys, Edmund Strowger, Thomas Tallis, John Thorne, Robert White and Richard Wynslate.

It is no coincidence that the Toccata from Widor's Vth Organ Symphony is his best-known composition. Who can resist its thrilling verve? Not only this, but also the other movements of this unique work of the organ repertoire win you over immediately - the first with its march-like, majestic, much-varied theme; the second with its wonderfully elegiac oboe melody, flowing along over staccato sixteenth notes; and the two slow movements, of which the melancholy, almost static Adagio forms the greatest contrast imaginable to the following triumphal Toccata. The Carus Urtext edition is based on the Paris edition of 1928/29, the last one to be published during Widor's lifetime. The corrections which the composer made after the publication of this edition have also been taken into consideration. As well as this, earlier editions have been consulted for comparison to clarify individual variant readings. Editorial suggestions on the performance of individual passages complete the new edition.

Max Reger fühlte sich nicht nur als neuer Bach, sondern wurde von seinen Zeitgenossen auch als solcher angesehen. Tatsächlich war Bach Regers Bezugspunkt in all seinen künstlerischen Äußerungsformen: als Komponist, der Bach''sche Formen - Fugen, Motetten, Choralvorspiele - aufgriff; als Interpret, der Bach immer wieder auf seine Programme setzte; als Bearbeiter, der sich mehr als jeder andere Komponist mit seinem Übervater auseinandersetzte. So hat Reger insgesamt etwa 150 Werke Bachs bearbeitet, um Bach populärer zu machen, aber auch, um sich kompositorisch an seinen Werken weiter zu bilden. Die hier in fünf Heften vorgelegten 15 Bearbeitungen Bach'scher Klavierwerke entstanden 1902/1903 und erschienen im gleichen Zeitraum im Verlag Joseph Aibl (München). Mit ihnen verfolgte Reger das Ziel, das Repertoire des Organisten um weitere authentische Bachsche Kompositionen zu bereichern. (Otto Depenheuer) Die vorliegende Ausgabe bietet den Notentext im Reprint der erwähnten Erstausgabe.
