French musicologist and composer, Jacques Chailley (1910-1999) was born into a musical family and went on to study at the Paris Conservatoire. As an organist himself, he is well acquainted with the Chorales, making his analysis book J. S. Bach's Chorales for Organ well-informed. Bach's chorale catalogue consists of some 189 chorales; SATB hymns which tend to be in strophic form. Chailley's J. S. Bach's Chorales for Organ analyses the harmonic techniques, structure and other characteristics of all the chorales, including detailed descriptions. For all musicians, the knowledge of the harmonisation of Bach's chorales is essential. Therefore, Chailley's J. S. Bach's Chorales for Organ is imperative..

Iour i Grichetchkine has crafted a set of fresh arrangements of beloved hymns of the faith. The influences in the music are diverse: from classical to gospel and light jazz. In particular, a number of the hymns receive a treatment with a different character than many other organ arrangements of a given tune, making these settings especially useful at filling in the gaps within one's hymn-based organ library.

Kennebunkport Suite (2016) was written for and is dedicated to Joyce Painter Rice, First Congregational Church, Kennebunkport, Maine, and the church's 1854 E. & G. G. Hook pipe organ (Opus 177). First Congregational Church is a congregation that particularly enjoys singing the classic hymns, and this organ suite thus consists of preludes on three well-known old American hymns: Foundation (How Firm a Foundation), Bethany (Nearer, My God, To Thee), and Land of Rest (Jerusalem, My Happy Home.) (Although conceived originally for a small one-manual pipe organ with divided stops and pedals, the work can be played effectively on any organ.) Instrumentation: Organ Duration: 2016 Composed: 9' Published by: Zimbel Press.

For the first time a completely self-contained organ repertoire is presented which originated in the churches of northern Germany after 1780, and yet keeping up the musical traditions of the 17th century. Thus, a many-facetted, more recent organ music from northwestern middle Europe is now accessible. Focal points of the music clearly are church songs and counterpoint; a fascinating element is the rich chromaticism. The pieces are of medium difficulty, practical for liturgical or concert use.
