The
Orgelbüchlein Project
is a collective
composition project
aiming to complete Bach's
unfinished manuscript
known as
'Orgelbüchlein'. In
the 'Little Organ Book',
Bach laid out a complete
hymnal of short organ
chorale preludes, 164 in
all, but only completed
46 of them. Why the
remaining 118 were left
as blank pages, with only
a title at the head,
remains a mystery, but
they inspried organists
William Whitehead to
found the
Orgelbüchlein Project,
in which contemporary
composers are invited to
contribute a piece to
completing the
collection.
The
resulting collection, to
be published in six
volumes, represents a
cross-section of the most
interesting composers at
work today across
Europe.
