Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Two Organ Voluntaries for solo Organ.

'My two organ voluntaries, Where does your faith lie? and Taking your leave were written for Even You Song, a collaborative work for cathedral choir, children's choir and organ inspired by the structure and themes of Choral Evensong with poet Lucy Sheerman and artist Bettina Furnée.' - Cheryl Frances-Hoad

The premiere, given by organist David Humphreys, took place at Peterborough Cathedral on 16 February 2017, following the re-pitching of its organ from ‘Philharmonic’ to ’Standard’ concert pitch.

The ten pieces in this collection from Bernard Wayne Sanders divide into two halves: Five Occasional Voluntaries and Five Pieces for Festive Occasions. The former are shorter and for manuals only, whereas the latter are a bit more expansive and involve pedal. Several are inspired by scripture passages, and all are useful as service or recital selections—either individually or grouped into suites.

John Stanley's 30 Voluntaries - published in three collections as op. 5, 6, and 7 - are amongst the best-known organ works of the 18th century. These compositions in free style were met with great acclaim by his contemporaries. The first volume, published in 1748, immediately achieved classic status and encouraged other composers to write similar collections. The op. 5 collection is now published in an up-to-date Urtext edition by Carus, based on the first printed edition and a 1785 edition consulted for comparison. The pieces, of easy to medium difficulty, are for manuals (and can alternatively also be played on the harpsichord), and mainly comprise two movements in the sequence slow - fast. Rhythmic energy, richness of color through the use of solo registers such as cornet and trumpet, dialog between the manuals with multiple echo effects - these are the characteristics of these wonderful compositions, which are also suitable for use in worship.

Four Voluntaries For Organ by Robert Groves.

Following the practice adopted in several of Groves' books of Hymn Tune Preludes, each of these pieces has been designed so that it can be played on a small two-manual Organ with pedals, or quite easily on a manual only, with or without pedals. Registration of a simple nature has been given, and this may, of course, be varied at the player's wish.
