The distinctive artistry of Mark Hayes continues to be enjoyed by pianists and organists alike. This organ collection draws from Hayes’s piano volume of “Christmas Miniatures”—short pieces of primarily two minutes or less in duration. Marvin Gaspard has re-imagined a selection of the piano originals for organ. Most are based on familiar Christmas carols, while three are freely-composed seasonal works.

Cars on Cooman is surely one of the most exciting and versatile contemporary composers in the USA. Born in New York in 1982, he has already written over 1,200 works. Many of these are compositions for organ - the instrument which Cooman, himself a concert organist, feels a particular affinity towards. A selection of these organ works is now available in this publication, including freely-composed preludes, chorale preludes, and festive and quieter pieces, meditative in style. The compositions are in an extended tonal framework and are of moderate difficulty. A superb addition to the repertoire both for concerts and worship!

The organ plus brass series presents original works and arrangements for organ and brass choir specially tailored to meet the needs of amateur ensembles and non-professional organists. The pieces may be played by any constellation of brass ensemble.

Volume IV contains arrangements of church music by Charles Villiers Stanford, both chorale-based and freely composed. The original works for choir and organ can be appropriately transferred to the festive scoring for brass ensemble and organ.

In the creative output of the Bach pupil Johann Ludwig Krebs, arrangements of chorales and freely composed works for organ and a second instrument occupy an important position. They offer a glimpse into the so-called figural music of the 17th and 18th centuries, which has its roots in Protestant church music and constitutes a major aspect of music and music making in worship services. Until now, Kreb's arrangement of the chorale Wie schon leuchtet der Morgenstern existed only as a fragment. The editor of the present edition discovered the remainder of the arrangement, which was previously missing, and was able to complete the fragment. Thus, the complete chorale arrangement, composed wholly in the spirit of Bach, is now available for performance for the first time.

Reinhard Keiser, highly regarded by his contemporaries as a composer (primarily of operas), also wrote a considerable number of sacred works, such as cantatas, masses, passions, and oratorios. Among these works, most of which are lost, this Dialogus von der Geburt Christi, published here for the first time, occupies a special place as Keiser's only surviving Christmas oratorio. It is a an alternative to the current Christmas repertoire. Opulently scored, well-known Christmas chorales are presented, while in other movements the intimacy of the scene at the crib is evoked. The colorful and finely nuanced instrumentation is contrasted with freely flowing, easily singable choral movements. Score and part available separately - see item CA.1038600.
