Interludes for Organ contains over 100 short pieces listed by key which are perfect for covering any gaps in the service. While some are modal in flavour others follow the standard major or minorscales and all make for beautiful easy listening.

These beautiful Interludes range in length from half a page to two pages and are ideal for Service use. June Nixon has covered all the normal keys and written in her usual warm and attractive style. All the piecesin 100 Interludes may be played on the manuals only or with pedals.

Lemare’s compositions are uneven in quality but the best are still active in the repertoire. The Toccata di Concerto is certainly full of fireworks and has the capacity to show the abilities of a great Organ. The upper parts have plenty of French toccata style but the theme in the pedals gives the piece substance as does the romantic chromatic interlude in the middle of the work.Organ virtuoso and composer Edwin Lemare was the world’s highest-paid Organist at the height of his career in the early 1900’s drawing bravos from ctritics and the crowds who queued around the block to hear this most famous of Organists. After having served as a church Organist for a relativelyshort period he began the life of a travelling recitalist beginning with a hundred-recital tour of the USA and Canada in 1900 a career that continued until the stock market crash of 1929. Lemare was also virtuosic in his ability to transcribe great Orchestral works for the Organ allowing audiences in those less urban times to hear works played live that they might have heard no other way.

A collection of Organ pieces by the greatest French composers designed for liturgical use as processionals recessionals and interludes. These pieces reflect the French love of joy vivacity and vigour; there are also manybeautiful and meditative works all of which will greatly enhance parish worship.

Handel composed these two organ concertos Op.4 and Op.7 as interludes for his oratorios. They are high spirited beautiful works. Full score Deutsch Hondelgesellschaft edition. Also within this volume Twelve Concerti.
