Selected from Musica Britannica Volume 69. Edited by Barry Cooper.This collection of sixteen pieces by John Blow (1649-1708) taken from the complete organ music published in Volume 69 of Musica Britannica is an authoritative introduction to the work of the leading Restoration English composer of organ music. More organ music from this period is ascribed to Blow than to all his English contemporaries put together including Henry Purcell. In compiling this anthology the editor has incorporated both the best examples from the corpus and those that were most popular in the composer's lifetime while illustrating the variety of styles he used. Most of the pieces may be played ona single manual but there are also 'double voluntaries' (for two manuals) and 'cornet voluntaries' (for two or three manuals). The collection includes advice on ornamentation and a comprehensive editorial note.

43-A collection of over seventy chorale preludes originally composed by Marcel Dupre as preparatory material for those about to tackle the formidable J.S. Bach chorale preludes. However this collection of fine Organ works offers a world of performance material; an excellent repertoire that will bring pleasure not only to the Organist but to all lovers of devout Organ works. A superb introduction to the techniques required to play Bach and an equally superb performance anthology.
