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.

In a number of works for musical theatre * The Rat-catcher (The Pied Piper) based on a libretto by Michael Ende, the opera Eduard auf dem Seil (Edward on the Tightrope) on a story by Morike and Der Schimmelreiter (The Ghost Rider) based on the well-known novella by Theodor Storm * Wilfried Hiller has used the organ to illustrate exceptional dramatic scenarios. The addition of further works has now resulted in a collection of Toccatas, some of them playful, some meditative, which may be performed individually or as a cycle, either in concert or for tuition purposes.
