Die Variationen über ein eigenes Thema op. 36 zählen zu Edward Elgars bekanntesten Werken. Das Thema entstand im Spätherbst 1898 eher zufällig, als Elgar nur ein bisschen vor sich hin improvisierte. Aus dem Nichts, aus dem aber noch etwas werden kann (Elgar), erwuchsen in nur wenigen Monaten 14 Variationen, die der Komponist in der handschriftlichen Partitur mit dem Vermerk Enigma (Rätsel) versah. Das Rätsel der Variationsbezeichnungen hat Elgar selber durch seine Widmung - Gewidmet meinen Freunden, die darin abgebildet sind - geklärt: es sind die Initialen von Personen aus seinem Freundeskreis, deren verschiedene Charaktere Elgar in einen Variationen nachspürte. Vorliegende Bearbeitung bietet die Enigma-Variationen erstmals als Gesamtzyklus in einer Bearbeitung für Orgel. Die Registrierungshinweise sind dem Geiste der englischen Orgelromantik verpflichtet und orientieren sich an der Registrierungspraxis Elgars bei seinen Originalkompositionen für Orgel. Sie verstehen sich selbstverständlich nur als Anregungen, von denen je nach Orgeltypus, Raum und Disposition abgewichen werden kann. Es ist die Hoffnung des Bearbeiters, dieser großartigen Komposition durch diese Ausgabe eine noch breitere Aufmerksamkeit zu sichern und das Orgelrepertoire um ein Schlüsselwerk der Musikgeschichte zu bereichern. (Otto Depenheuer).

Organ transcription of Anthony Payne's 2006 orchestral completion from Elgar's sketches. Robert Gower comments, Working from the orchestral score confirms Payne's musical intuition in taking fragments and developing them into an entirely convincing whole, one imbued with Elgarian spirit and characterised through the economical precision of his own art. Here, intellectual and artistic integrity combine to construct overall architecture in which not a note is wasted, painstaking care is evident in the subtle details of instrumental coloring, and where there is thrilling rhythmic forward propulsion. In saluting the skills of both composers, I have sought to open out for organists the excitement and sincerity of their work, being designed for performance not only on larger organs with a full range of orchestral color, but also made entirely feasible for performance on smaller two-manual instruments..

Composed by John Norris. Arranged by John Norris. Organ music. Sixteen celebrated pieces for a perfect wedding. Selected and arranged for organ by John Norris.. Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #H449. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.H449).

ISBN 9790220221286.

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.

Composed by Various. Arranged by Norris. Organ music. Fifteen pieces for use at Funerals and Memorial Services. Arranged by John Norris.. Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #H464. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.H464).

ISBN 9790220222139.

Well -chosen music is an essential adjunct to the dignity and reverence of funerals and acts of remembrance, comforting those who mourn, and shining light upon the personality of the departed person.

Among these fifteen new arrangements, organists will find a wealth of material from which to select the right piece appropriate to the occasion. There are classics such as Mendelssohn's O rest in the Lord and Handel's Dead March from Saul, romantic masterpieces like Elgar's Nimrod and Mahler's Adagietto, as well as a contemporary favourite, Candle in the Wind, which featured so memorably at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales.

A leading arranger and teacher for the organ, John Norris has also included his own Improvisation on Brother James' Air, an arrangement of Sibelius's Finlandia ('Be still, my soul'), and a novelty item The Broken Melody by Auguste van Biene. The collection concludes, appropriately, with Stanford's uplifting Nunc Dimittis from the Evening Service in C.
