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.

A diverse collection of seasonal organ music for manuals only, covering the church's year from Advent to Epiphany. The pieces are drawn internationally from across the centuries and include a mixture of established repertoire, attractive new arrangements, and four newly commissioned pieces. The collection is technically accessible (approx. Grades 4-5) and provides approachable repertoire for all church musicians, making it an attractive companion to The Oxford Book of Christmas Organ Music.

The second Oxford Book of Ceremonial Music for Organ is a practical collection of repertoire covering a wide range of uses, from formal public events to more private occasions. The music is stylistically varied, encompassing both flamboyant extravagance and restrained solemnity. Selected with players of intermediate to advanced ability in mind, the collection includes established favourites and attractive new arrangements of well-known works, alongside newly commissioned pieces.

This volume is a collection of 37 of the best pieces for use at carol services, Christmas services, and Christmas concerts. It includes a number of exciting new pieces on established tunes (from Andrew Carter, Gerre Hancock, and David Willcocks, among others), as well as excellent new arrangements of popular Christmas pieces.

Finzi's small and select output sadly includes no original solo organ music, and organists will find these arrangements by Robert Gower, Alan Ridout, and Philip Brunelle gratifyingly idiomatic and rewarding. These arrangements make ideal quiet voluntaries or recital items with a difference. The rich sonorities of the original orchestral works transfer well to the organ.

33 grand ceremonial pieces that are ideal for use at weddings, as voluntaries, or for recitals. Not all the music is loud and extrovert: together with pieces like fanfares and marches, the collection contains a sprinkling of quieter items in solemn mood.

The two collections include the best of C. H. Trevor's series 'Organ Books 1-6', and are ideal for teaching or for service use. The pieces have been specifically selected with the beginner's needs in mind: a variety of easy and attractive items with simple pedal parts. Each book is arranged in order of difficulty, book one covering grades 2-4, book two grades 5-6.
