The Faber
Early Organ Series is
among the most
comprehensive anthologies
of early organ music ever
published. In 18 volumes
it spans two centuries
and six geographical
regions, presenting a
broad and balanced view
of the main forms, styles
and composers. Within
each geographical region
the pieces, most of which
are for manuals only, are
arranged by date of
composition or
publication.
The
presentation is both
scholarly and practical;
all of the music has been
newly edited from the
earliest surviving
sources according to a
systematic editorial
method that preserves as
many features of the
original notation as
possible while making it
fully accessible to
modern players. In every
volume, an informative
Introduction sets the
music in historical
context. There are also
helpful sections on
Ornamentation and
Registration, and a
Critical Commentary
giving detailed
information on the
sources.
