Sonntagsorgel (Vol. 3: Leichte Orgelmusik für Gottesdienst und Unterricht. Chorale Settings)

Editor: Kircher, Armin / Schwemmer, Marius

“Sonntagsorgel” is a collection of stylistically varied pieces for the amateur organist comprising three volumes. The editions are ideal for teaching purposes or for use in church services.

The third volume contains liturgical organ music (chorale preludes and hymnaccompaniments) and includes works by composers from Johann Christian Bach to Augustinus Franz Kropfreiter. The first volume includes festive preludes, toccatas and fugues, trios and pastorals by German and French composers from the 17th through to the 20th century. In the second volume, meditative pieces by composers ranging from Christian Heinrich to Théodore Salomé are presented.

The pieces are easy to sight-read and sound impressive. The volumes will be appreciated by amateur and professional church-musicians alike.

- Collection of organ music which does not require much practising
- Mainly for amateur organists
- Suitable for teaching purposes

“… a collection that brings pleasure to the musical amateur and also offers some attractive discoveries for the professional.”
(Musica sacra)

“Who amongst us amateur organists doesn’t ask himself ‘What will I play this Sunday’ – with little time to practice and, if possible, a piece which isn’t too well-known? In these volumes one will find the answer!“
Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik)
