While organ music of the 19th century was not highly regarded in Germany a few years ago [with the exception of a few outstanding works], our understanding of it has grown during recent years. In other countries 19th century organ music has retained its place in the repertoire to a far greater extent. This three-volume collection presents playable organ works of high quality for both liturgical and concert use. Most of the pieces have not yet been available in new editions [at the time of publication], and are made accessible to a wider public for the first time. The first two volumes contain pieces which were composed in, or introduced to, the German-speaking area of Europe between1800 and 1900; some of them point back stylistically to the 18th century. The focus of the third volume is on works by French, British, and American composers. There are also organ pieces from Bohemia, Belgium, Denmark, and even Brazil./ Répertoire / Orgue

Grimoaldo Macchia is quickly making a name for himself across Europe as both an organ performer and composer. Here he offers a superbly crafted and unique bossa nova for the organ mixing colors and styles like you've never heard before.

Jonathan Harvey (1939-2012) was a British composer who studied at St Johns Cambridge and Princeton and who later taught at various universities and conservatoires across Europe and North America. His psychedelic work Laus Deo has become a brilliant showcase for 20th century Organ music. Commissioned by Simon Preston in 1969 it was supposedly inspired by a dream in which an angel played the main themes to him on an Organ: Harvey said he finished the piece within 12 hours of waking from the dream. It has since become known for its ear-piercing dissonances and exciting cluster chords.

Volume 4: Christian Life and Conduct-The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach’s unfinished manuscript known as ‘Orgelbüchlein’. In the ‘Little Organ Book’ Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale 164 in all but only completed 46 of them.Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages with only a title at the head remains a mystery but they inspired organist William Whitehead to found the Orgelbüchlein Project in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection.The resulting collection to be published in eight volumes represents across-section of the most interesting composers at work today across Europe. More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.com.
