A variety of styles, ranging from pastorale to canozona to march, are evident in this collection by organist/composer Donna Robertson. Included are: 1. Improvisation on Picardy / 2. Cradle Song: Stille Nacht / 3. Prelude on Dix / 4. Prelude on Herzliebster Jesu / 5. Meditation on Adoro te devote / 6. Prelude on Diademata / 7. Prelude on Saint Agnes // The pieces are interesting in their harmonic language and evocative in their depiction of the mood of the seasonal hymns. Accomplished organists will be happy with the creativity these preludes exhibit, yet less-skilled organists will not find techniques or passages beyond their abilities. Donna Robertson has a talent for writing good organ music that's not difficult!
