Please note: this edition has nothing to do with Arnold Schonberg! The Schonberg in question is a town near Kronberg in Germany's hilly Taunus region. Around the turn of the last century, the organist Ludwig Sauer (1861-1940) wanted to have a new organ built at his church there and came up with a novel way to finance it: he asked a number of composers to donate a musical piece. He eventually obtained 36 (!) pieces which he grouped together in the Organ Album for the Benefit of the New Organ in Schonberg by L. Sauer and had published in 1900 by Breitkopf & Hartel. Deserving particular mention is Max Reger's popular Introduction and Passacaglia in D minor, which was printed for the first time in that collection and which no doubt helped Sauer's project make organ history. The Schonberger Orgelalbum contains both free pieces and works based on chorales. Thanks to the brevity of the pieces, the book is ideal for use in teaching and in the religious service..

A well-known teacher and compiler of Stainer & Bell's Opera Gala series, John Norris has created Wedding Gala with an ear to giving church organists a mix of favourites and exciting discoveries to brighten the routine of music for the service of holy matrimony. No album would be complete without the traditional wedding music of Mendelssohn and Wagner, and it can be found here in this collection alongside other classics of the wedding repertoire by Jeremiah Clarke, Bach and Handel. But there's also a thoroughly contemporary leavening, with arrangements of Sydney Carter's One More Step and Lord of the Dance, both firm favourites, plus Musorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and Charpentier's Prelude, adding a note of splendour. But the real bonus is for lovers of English music, with Elgar's Chanson de Matin and 'The Call' from the Five Mystical Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams, seldom found in comparable collections. And there's also a rare new discovery: the ravishing Chosen Tune by Herbert Howells, transcribed from his Three Pieces for violin and piano, Op. 28, and available as an organ piece for the first time. Each piece is comprehensively registered by the arranger, and the collection as a whole will be welcomed by all organists of intermediate standard as a source of new material not only for liturgical use but also for recitals.

Auf die Entwicklung der französischen Musik gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhundert übte Vincent d'Indy ähnlich großen Einfluss aus wie sein Zeitgenosse Charles-Marie Widor: kompositorisch in fast allen musikalischen Genres präsent, hat er ein ebenso umfassendes wie bedeutendes symphonisches ouvre hinterlassen, in dem freilich das Orgelwerk des zeitweiligen Organisten (in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt) und Mitbegründers der Schola Cantorum bemerkenswert überschaubar bleibt.Alle genuin für die Orgel komponierten Werke eignet ihnen ein ausgesprochen kontemplativer, religiös inspirierter und nobler Gestus, dem jeder exaltierte Selbstdarstellungsgestus fremd ist. Strenge und filigrane Satztechnik stehen ganz im Dienst der musikalischen Aussage. Prélude et petit Canon op. 38 entstand 1893. Das Thema prägt zusammen mit seinem Kontrapunkt sowohl das Prélude wie den Kanon, erscheint in der Reprise in der Umkehrung, bevor die aparte Komposition mit dem Kanon endet. Die Vêpres du Commun des Saints op. 51 komponierte d'Indy 1899; sie erschienen erstmals 1907 im Eigenverlag der Schola Cantorum. Die Bearbeitung der gregorianischen Vorlagen erfreute sich seinerzeit großer Beliebtheit. Die Petite Chanson grégorienne op. 60 zeugt einmal mehr von der lebenslangen Verbundenheit d'Indys zur gregorianischen Musik. Diese aparte Miniatur erschien in der Originalbesetzung für Klavier zu vier Händen im Album pour Enfants petits et grands. Receuil de Pièces de piano, à 2 et 4 ms, composée par un group des musiciens de la Schola Cantorum (1904/1905). Das Prélude op. 66 erschien erstmals 1911 in einer Fassung für Orgel oder Harmonium im ersten Band der von Joseph Joubert (1878-1963) herausgegebenen Les Maîtres contemporains de l'Orgue Die Orgelfassung erschien 1913 bei Durand (Paris). (Otto Depenheuer).
