Works for Organ by the American expatriate composer, conductor, and organist David Francis Urrows presents a substantial part of his contributions to modern
organ music repertory. From straightforward works written for beginners (Four Brief Pieces, ), to service pieces (
1521-2021, and parts of the Suite for Organ) and concert pieces for advanced performers (
In Nomine, and the
Partita: Nun komm', der Heiden Heiland), they are arranged here in order of difficulty. Comprising twelve movements of varying lengths, each is different in terms of mood, genre, and requirements for organ size and stop list (some are for
manuals only, or with optional pedal.) Students, teachers, and church and concert organists will all find something new in this volume of lyrical and often exciting works that reflect a personal reinvention of much of the great organ music of the past four centuries. Notes and registration suggestions are provided as well.
