cis-Moll-Louis Vierne's Messe solennelle en ut dièse mineur (Op.16; cis-Moll) for SATB and Organ.The Messe solennelle op. 16 for mixed choir and two organs by Louis Vierne was composed in 1899. At its world premiere in St. Sulpice in December 1901 Charles-Marie Widor played the main organ and Vierne the choir organ. The work belongs to the highlights of the late Romantic organ masses and more-over is comfortable for the choir to sing.The present edition is based upon the first edition that was published in 1900 by Pérégally & Fils in Paris. Due to practical reasons a performance with two organs is often not possible therefore parallel to the original edition the publishers have also published an arrangement for choir and one organ by Zsigmond Szathmáry.

Sing! was written to be sung to the accompaniment of the Toccata by Charles-Marie Widor. This edition includes the choral parts for SATB choir only. The Schirmer edition of the Toccata is available under item code GS28699.

Original Works and Arrangements For Church Service and Concert-Original Works and Arrangements for Church Service and Concert Organ Score with parts in C B-flat E-flat F The organ plus one series was specially conceived for semi-professional church musicians and instrumentalists. It takes its bearings from the liturgical calendar and the pieces can be easily played in church services evening recitals or small concerts. Included are pieces which are freely-composed or based on chorales either original works or arrangements by the editor. In this volume the works relate to hymns of the Reformation including some composed by Martin Luther. Enclosed in each edition are solo parts for C B-flat E-flat and Fwhich can be played by violin flute oboe clarinet trumpet and horn in F. For use in church services the chorale preludes are provided with accompaniments in the keys of the Lutheran hymnal. The present volume brings this successful series to its conclusion. It contains freely-composed pieces by composers such as Edvard Grieg Eugène Gigout Théodore Dubois Charles-Marie Widor and Louis Vierne as well as chorale settings such as Sigfrid Karg-Elert’s “Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern” Johann Gottfried Walther’s “Nun bitten wir den Heiligen Geist” Johann Ludwig Krebs’s “Komm Heiliger Geist Herre Gott” and Karl Hoyer’s “Geist des Glaubens Geist der Stärke”.

Charles-Marie Widor founded the French form called Symphony for Organ; large-scale academically 'sonata form' works of great power often containing a toccata-like conclusion. Guilmant continued the development of such works although he called his eight works in the form sonatas. This is his work Troisieme Sonate from Opus 56 for Organ Solo.

Louis Vierne (1870 1937) was a student of César Franck. From 1892 he represented Charles-Marie Widor at St.-Sulpice (Paris) before he was nominated in 1900 as titular organist at Notre-Dame (Paris). To the circle of his students belong Nadia Boulanger and Maurice

This work is one of the most important organ compositions of the end of the nineteenth Century. It was written in the years 1894/95 though the earliest fragments date back to 1890. These had their origins in improvised Magnificat versets played by Widor at the inauguration of the Cavaillé-Coll organ of St. Ouen in Rouen. This new edition of the Wiener Urtext edition is based upon the first edition (no manuscript scores have survived) and on further editions published during Widor’s lifetime.A recording made in 1932 of Widor’s own playing has been studied in conjunction with the printed source materials. The varied ending played on that recording isincluded as an alternative. It bears witness to the composer’s improvisational treatment of his own work and the spirit in which the whole composition was originally conceived.

Widely regarded as the culmination of French romanticism on the organ Widor's symphonies include some of the most frequently performed and recorded works in the modern organ repertoire. Most of these 'symphonies' - so called to emphasise the orchestral wealth of timbres offered by the new French organs - were written specifically to exploit the capacities of the modern Cavaille-Coll organ especially the rich-toned five-keyboard instrument at St-Sulpice in Paris. Presented here in two inexpensive (this being the first) well-made volumes they offer a splendid resource for organists and all music lovers.

Alors que le oeuvre pour orgue par Widor ont obtenu une position solide dans le répertoire, ses oeuvres pour piano pas moins élaborées et artistiques sont connues pour seulement un petit cercle de pianistes, probablement parce que les oeuvres pour piano de Claude Debussy et Ravel surpassa lui dans ce domaine. ' Variations de Concert sur un thème originale ' transportées par la mélancolie profonde ont été publiées en 1867 pour la première fois et sont restés son opus non vérifiables 1 à ce jour. Ils montrent que le jeune compositeur prend le langage tonal de j. s. Bach comme point de départ, pourtant, donne son cycle de variations, qui rappelle les Variations Goldberg, sa propre expression romantique. En 1876, il a révisé les variations et eux publié sous le titre légèrement modifié de 'Variations sur un Thème original pour piano' opus 29. Notre nouvelle édition soigneusement révisée contient les deux versions (opus 1 et opus 29) où on peut dire sans exagération qu'ils devraient être en possession de chaque pianiste de concert. / Piano
