This delightful set of practical miniature arrangements of hymn tunes for organ is useful throughout the church year and is accessible to the average church organist.These short pieces not only enhance church services but also prove invaluable to the church musician looking for something fresh to use during services. The styles of miniatures which last anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute in duration are sufficiently varied to maintain interest: some settings are meditative while others are fanfares and they can be used during various parts of the service.The book includes a preface that discusses practical usage of the miniatures citing some examples from teVelde's own experience. It also includes a liturgical index and an index of first lines for the convenience of the organist.Wade: Adeste FidelisHandel: AntiochWesley: AureliaHughes: Cwm RhonddaElvey: DiademataKocher: DixHatton: Duke StreetEaster HymnLuther: Ein' feste BurgGo tell it on the mountainPritchard: HyfrydolBeethoven: Hymn to JoyLasst uns erfreuenGoss: Lauda animaBarnby: Laudes DominiLeoniWilliams: LlanfairLobe den HerrenNettletonDykes: NicaeaPicardyPersonent HodieSmart: Regent SquareVaughan Williams: Salve festa diesSimple GiftsCroft: St. AnneSullivan: St. KevinVeni veni Emmanuel
