Original

The Oxford Book of Lent and Easter Organ Music brings together a superb array of repertoire for use from Ash Wednesday through to Pentecost, providing a comprehensive volume for this extended liturgical period. The pieces—largely based on well-known hymn tunes—vary in style and length, suiting a range of purposes, from processionals and interludes to voluntaries and recital works. A range of technical difficulty makes the book useful for players of differing abilities, and clean and uncluttered scores leave interpretative decisions to the performer. An invaluable resource for a major part of the church year. 34 pieces for manuals and pedals, suitable for use from Lent through to Pentecost. Seven brand-new commissions by important names such as David Briggs, Naji Hakim, and Francis Jackson. A variety of musical forms, including preludes, toccatas, fanfares, and variations. Covers 17th to 21st centuries, from major historic organ composers including Scheidt, Mendelssohn, and Reger, through 20th-century luminaries Harris and Leighton, to contemporary figures such as Malcolm Riley, David Bednall, and Christopher Tambling. Original organ compositions plus new arrangements of favourites from Handel's Messiah and J. S. Bach's St Matthew Passion. An index of hymn tunes, and pieces arranged in liturgical order.
