Book 1. Par HARWOOD BASIL. Sonata No. 1, Op. 5 Two Preludes, Op. 52 Two Meditations, Op. 57 A Quiet Voluntary, Op. 70 Basil Harwood's organ music takes a chronological journey through the composer's creative years. This journey begins with the Organ Sonata No. 1 in C sharp minor, op. 5 and ends with Quiet Voluntary for Evensong, op. 70, composed in 1946 when the composer was eighty-seven. In the intervening years came many and varied compositions often demanding an instrument of ample resources together with a player equal to their somewhat formidable technical demands. Displaying a fine sense of craftsmanship, they represent an important contribution to the organ repertoire. Unjustly neglected in the years since the composer's death, it is hoped that these six volumes will continue the ever-growing interest in Basil Harwood's music./ Répertoire / Orgue

Il s'agit d'une ressource vraiment utile pour les organistes de la paroisse qui trouvent eux-mêmes qui ont besoin de plus de musique à la fin d'un hymne à introduire une procession ou autre action à une conclusion. Chaque pièce découle naturellement les airs hymne sur lequel il repose. / Orgue

Par ARCHER MALCOLM. With Sleigh Bells across the Snow, renowned recitalist and composer of popular church music Malcolm Archer reveals another facet of his talented musicianship ? namely, his love of light music and his mastery of the theatre organ. With this addition to Stainer and Bell?s stylish Light Organ Series, Sleigh Bells across the Snow was conceived in the spirit of Leroy Anderson, and joyfully follows the tradition of his and other notable sleigh rides. Bells and chimes feature prominently, ad libitum. But as the composer himself remarks, in true theatre-organ spirit, players should also feel free to add their own embellishments, glissandi, or whatever else takes their fancy!/ Répertoire / Orgue
