Jongen, Joseph: Complete Works for Organ and for Harmonium (Vol. 3)

• First Urtext edition and first complete edition of the organ and harmonium works by Jongen


• Wide range of levels of difficulty


• Music for the concert hall and church


• Each volume includes a Foreword with notes on performance practice (Eng/Ger) and a Critical Commentary (Eng)

Similar to César Franck, who was also born in Liège, Jongen found a recognisable musical language in his oeuvre, which is characterised, among other things, by harmonic colourfulness, references to chorale singing and Walloon folklore.

Jongen’s organ works include compositions of varying degrees of difficulty, from simpler pieces notated on two systems to virtuoso works for the professional organist.
