This volume presents a superb array of thirty-four pieces for use from Lent through to Pentecost, including preludes, toccatas, fanfares, and more. The pieces vary in length, suiting a range of purposes, from processionals and interludes to voluntaries and recital works. Covering the 17th to the 21st centuries, most are original organ pieces but there are also arrangements of arias and choruses from works such as Handel's Messiah and Bach's St Matthew Passion.
Major historic organ composers are represented, including Scheidt, Mendelssohn, and Reger, alongside contemporary figures such as David Willcocks, Philip Moore, and Malcolm Riley. Also featured are seven new commissions by important names in the field, including David Briggs and Naji Hakim. Scores are clean and
uncluttered, leaving interpretative decisions to the performer. Arranged in liturgical order, with an index of hymn tunes, this book is a practical and user-friendly resource for church and recital organists.
