Cantantibus organis, volume 19

The organ in the church year IV - Marian feasts

The Cantantibus organis series presents organ pieces in several booklets, one group of which is selected according to the festive circles and special themes of the church year; other groups with free preludes, interludes and postludes are arranged according to musical points of view.
The level of difficulty of the selected pieces ranges from ‘easy’ to ‘quite difficult’. No special pedalling skills are required. Numerous pieces are for historical reasons, to be played entirely without pedal. The main emphasis of the selected pieces in this collection is on manual technique.
Many of the works are ideal for church music festivals and concerts. The pieces without pedal also sound excellent on the harpsichord.
This volume is dedicated to organ music for Marian feasts.
