The
Freiburger Orgelbuch 2 is
mainly aimed at
semi-professional
organists who are looking
for challenging pieces
with a clear liturgical
use. All liturgical
situations are provided
for: ceremonial
processions, music for
the offertory and
communion, meditative
organ music, and pieces
based on chorales for the
major festivals of the
church year. Besides a
wide range of German and
Austrian organ music,
there is additional
variety with selected
works by French, English,
Spanish, Italian, and
American composers. The
arrangement of the
contents by country
reflects the
international scope of
the book. There are short
commentaries on the
pieces, providing
information on each
composer and questions of
registration. The
selection offers a broad
stylistic variety,
ranging from toccatas to
Romantic character pieces
and Vesper voluntaries.
The easy-to-medium level
of difficulty will be
particularly welcomed by
semi-professional
organists. But more
experienced players will
also find previously
little-known treasures of
the organ music
repertoire in this
edition. The Freiburger
Orgelbuch 2 will surely
become an important
compendium for organ
teaching because of its
broad contents. Selected
works can be heard on a
CD in top-quality
recordings on newly-built
and historic instruments
in the Archdiocese of
Freiburg in the Lake
Constance region
(Constance, Hilzingen),
and the area around
Karlsruhe.
