More New Hymn Arrangements for Organ Thursday, February 16, 2012
If you missed our recent Organ Music Clinic, you can still check out these new titles recommended by Stanton’s keyboard staff:
Easy Hymn Settings Vol 2
Preludes and postludes are found in this second volume which composer Ronnie Nelson has crafted for the organist desiring easier rather than harder compositions. This wonderful, year-round collection has a setting for almost every season of the church year.
In Praise of God
Postludes, partitas, trios, arias, fanfares, and trumpet tunes are featured in this collection by prolific composer, David Lasky, featuring treasured hymns of the faith. These are stimulating new settings for each hymn, especially the “Materna” setting–you’ll want to play it for any patriotic service need!
When In Our Music: Three Hymn Settings
Al Travis’s exuberant writing style is brought to bear on three well-loved hymntunes. The tune INNOCENTS is set to a chorale and five charming variations. ROYAL OAK is cheerful and buoyant, and ENGELBERG makes a majestic and commanding finale to this set.
