Karen Beaumont brings us this highly flexible collection in response to the growing demand for shorter worship service voluntaries. Each of the seven postludes are less than a minute and a half in length and contain interludes that can serve as shorter works or transitions between multiple postludes. The pieces are thoughtfully arranged to flow seamlessly from one to the next. While each composition can be played with a single manual, suggestions for incorporating pedal or multiple manuals are also provided. Additionally, these pieces are adaptable for use on a piano or other keyboard instrument.

As well as the Mass in B minor, there are four further, shorter mass compositions by Bach, the so-called Lutheran or Kyrie-Gloria masses. Despite their high musical qualities, they are often overshadowed by other church works by Bach. With their six-movement structure (up to the Cum sancto spiritu) they had their specific liturgical position in church services of the time of Bach. The masses largely comprise parodies, with the original music mainly taken from cantatas which Bach sometimes considerably reworked in his well-known style according to the new context of the work. Ulrich Leisinger has edited the four works for Carus in new critical editions. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3123500.

Marianne Kim's jazz-influenced style is in full evidence in this collection of pieces based on familiar hymns. The works range in size from several shorter preludes and postludes to two extended sets of variations particularly suitable for concert. The setting of the spiritual Do, Lord also includes an optional part for trumpet.
